Used 1996 Cadillac Eldorado Consumer Reviews
Excellent Overall Vehicle
This car is amazing. To be able to out perform many other luxury cars on the road and still maintain a very comfortable ride while doing so. This car has extremely fast acceleration and excellent road sensing suspension. This car is very fun to drive all the time.
Burns oil
Car is fast, reliable, economical and fun to drive. I think that its styling is still is better looking than any car in the market place even today. We still get a lot of compliments about it. Problem, the north star engine is notorius for burning oil. Most dealers wont admit it but I have talked with many northstar owners and they all tell stick and have to be cleaned out by their special process but at a cost of $450.00. It worked pretty well but now it gets 900 miles per quart. I was told that another cleaning will do the job. Now that is $900.00 to take care of a problem that shouldnt happen in the first place .

Used 1995 Eldorado
Picked up a beautiful 95. 32V Northstar with 104,000 miles on it for $1200. Tweeked a few things and an new AC compressor So for about $2200 I have a great running, powerful luxurious Caddy. I’m 70 and drive maybe 4K miles a year. Everything works burns a bit of oil but couldn’t be happier. Only complaint is I’m 6’5” and a bit low to the ground getting out

eldorado
These car is extremely fun to drive albeit the 300hp ETC tends to "nosetail" at full push. Get it with Bose system and the ride only gets better. It lumbers in evasive manuevers, but the sheer "push you back in your seat" will impress. This car depreciates so bad, it's a great buy in any used condition. Reliability?? Too much fun to think about the fact this car has 3 fuseboxes.
Should have got a Lincon Mark V111
Like the elegent styling, especially with Vouge chrome wheels, white diamond paint, and rear spoiler. Was searching for a clean '98 Mark 8 but couldn't find one, so I bought the Eldo on looks alone. Sorry, but it's style, no substance. Why does the auto industry rave about the Northstar? The Ford V-8 feels much stronger and doesn't suck a quart of oil every 1500 miles. My first V-8 front wheel drive car - and last. Tourqe steer, nose dive, and loose, bouncy ride (feels like an offensive lineman's sitting under the hood). Noisy interior for a luxury car. But like a trophy wife, she sure is pretty and kind of hard to give up!
very good car, worth every penny
just turned over 97K, and have done minimal repairs, matinece will keep this engine running 300K!
GREAT CAR
Considering the car is now 20 years old, it is a very low mileage car. 102k. Car runs and drive like new still. It would have been a car that I could not have afforded to buy new as the msrp was around $50,000. But as a 15 year old car, it has been exceptionally dependable runs and drive great and is a highway cruising MONSTER. The Northstar V-8 seems to get very mixed reviews, but as for my car it's been fantastic. Only down side, it's a 2 door car, difficult to use the back seats, and the trunk is a bit limited for the size of the vehicle. But I would recommend this car to anyone. In fact I'm selling mine right now.

What a car
Performance, style and elegance.......this car has it all
Best car ever !! By far!
I bought this car when I was 15 to go to local car shows with and it turned out to be the best thing I have ever bought in my life. The performance is amazing, the Northstar is one of the best engines ever, the ride is the smoothest with the air suspension, its a very quiet interior, awesome quality built, and the sound of the engine is amazing. Not to mention the drop dead good looks! I get so many compliments about the car on the street and in car shows I cant keep track. 62000kms, dark cherry metallic with matching interior, gold plated emblems with gold pinstripe and vogue rims and white walls. Only had to get a tune up since I owned it ($500). Not for someone who isnt financially stable
1996 Eldo
Its been a great car just wish I had bought the 4 door Seville since it is tough for people to access the back seat.
