1998 Cadillac Deville

[ridingonlorenzos]

Whats up doc?
So I found a 98 Deville with a perfect body and 70k miles on it going for $3500. Good deal?
Keep in mind I just need a car to get me to school and back, and have a lil swagger at the same time. Plus, gotta push it in winter

Alternatively I also found a 99 Pathfinder with 140k miles going for $2300. A lil rust on this one but it runs well.

Does this car only take unleaded gas? Is this gonna hurt the pockets as a commuter car?

You just need a commuter car I wouldn't buy a Cadillac.

i got the first "engine coolant low" message an hour into owning it. after going through several things of coolant over a week or so it got to the point where the engine overheated and i had to pull over.

blown head gaskets...new engine required

threw as much into repairing it as i did buying it because it was a perfect car beside the engine.
cadillacs are expensive as hell to maintain and northstar engines are horribly unreliable.

don't get me wrong. i love cadillacs. if a tree hadn't fallen on my baby i would've never owned anything but cadillacs. (had to get a chevy) but they are a *%*%!.

Good lookin out on this advice.. I don't have a mechanic I trust but is there a way to predict whether the head gaskets are going to blow or not?

I just bought a 97 Seville a lil over a month ago. Just about the exact circumstance as yours. 70,00O miles, perfect body, clean carfax, all for 3999.

You'll love the car. It's fly as %%+% and you gonna be riding smooth. It's more like a boat than anything. That being said, she's gonna drink.Cost me about 50 to fill a tank every week or so. Also be ready for some electrical problems, Cadis are notorious for them. My @@!@ is in the shop right nowgetting the drivers side window worked on.

Other than that no complaints, it's a beautiful car. Throw some tint on it, let the trunk wham, maybe some deuces if you like to stunt...

that car looks like a wolf in sheep's body...i would rather get the pathfinder.
