No..and I've had a change of heart...thanks for your reply....My Chrysler, so I've been told by several people is worth more than an equal car because of demand for a Chrysler 300M body style, in excellent condition before they changed to the mafia 300M.......which, in my opinion, by comparison, has no style at all......

You might want to adjust the value of your 300m down to $8-8500 then look at the deal again. You might also consider how well maintained each vehicle is re: fluid changes that can be documented. The Caddy is an unknown quantity while you know your car so that needs to be considered. Parts for Caddy's are higher but maybe nothing will go wrong. Have you driven the Cadillac? Read More...

Written by: edman2 on Jan 07, 2008 08:30 PM

I have been given the opportunity to buy a 2002 Cadillac DeVille that looks like it just came out of the showroom. It is in impeccable condition with 36.000 miles, never driven in snow or salt. The seller deals in very expensive original old cars. I have a 2002 Chrysler 300M and if I pay him the $12,000 asking price..it would almost be like making an even trade. My Chrysler ...

Cadillac DeVille dead battery

Written by: bossalways1024 on Jan 02, 2008 11:35 AM

2002 DeVille, BATTERY GOES DEAD IF NOT STARTED AT LEAST EVERY 3 DAYS. At least 6 incidents of dead battery in the last 4 months; I've also been on disability for the last 4 months and not driving my beloved Kizzy Baby daily. After a few hours of reading I'm getting the idea that there are items drawing power from the battery even when the car is off. I have seen my service ... Read More...

Well, I owned a 2002 Seville that used about 1 quart of Mobil 1 synthetic every 2000 miles. Your Deville probably had defective parts. Read More...

I bought a 2002 Deville w/18,500 mile on it. Oil consumption was terrible. 2 quart in ~200 mile. Was told that the 2002 cadillacs had bad rings and pistons. Cadillac did nothing about a recall. Mine was still under warrantee, Cadillac put 2003 rings and pistons in it and it does not use more than a pint in 3000 mile now @63,000 mile. Original owner had problem from ... Read More...

You could bring your car to a cadillac dealer where they only specialize in Cadillacs and get an idea where you stand with how worn out your fluids are. Or anything else for that matter. My old Deville the plugs and wires lasted exactly 100,000 miles. Once I got about 100,100 miles it started to studder on the highway, and what do you know? One of the plugs were cracked. ...

Re: 2002 DeVille "Check Coolant Level" message stays on [tcacar]

Written by: bolivar on Sep 25, 2007 10:45 AM

Well, the sensor 'thinks' the coolant level is low. The sensor is the 'surge' tank, which is the tank under the cap where you fill the coolant. Sometimes the sensor is just dirty, sometimes it has failed. In any case, I think the tank is going to have to be removed. Which means that a couple of hoses will have to be pulled off. Pulling these hoses off may not be real easy. ... Read More...

Re: vibration at highway speeds in 2003 DeVille [rkmetz]

Written by: acweck on Aug 09, 2007 01:27 PM

Hello rkmetz, No, unfortunately, I have never gotten rid of the vibration in my 2003 DeVille. It's a little better (and I emphasize "a little"), as it now kind-of comes and goes. For example, last Saturday - August 4th - I drove to the dealership to see my salesman about driving another DeVille to see if it did the same thing. On the way there, there was virtually no ...
