1996 Deville with Northstar. Value in perfect condition - $2500. Get the engine hot once = $5000+ to repair.
Transmission has a dozen electrical components inside that will cause smog failure = $2500+ to fix to register.
Electric suspension is great until it fails.
A great car new, but the engineers made sure there won't be any happy second owners. I have been involved with three of these, and they have all been 'given' away for change in perfect physical condition. Stay away, and with most cars made since 1995, do your research. There are more lemons than ever, and as a mechanic, I could list a bunch.
