Eldo's report card

I owned four red Eldorado Cadillac's. A 1995,1997, 1999, 2001. I finally traded my 2001 off for an M3 BMW. I got tired of the Eldo not holding its value. This is because cadillac does not upgrade from year to year. Very little difference between the 95 and the 01.

Was intended to be a around town shopping car, but since I work out of town now it is a interstate highway car. Really enjoy the W.O.T. exercise when entering the highway from various rest stops. Fuel mileage is good at 23 to 26 mpg. Plus it just looks good and feels good to drive it.

A car from another time

My wife still insists driving a full size two door luxury coupe. The eldorado is the only one remaining. The car is unreliable, had to be towed twice. It is largely unchanged from the 1992 model!

Biggest piece of 💩 i ever owned. The headbolts were to short and wiggled out warping the aluminum heads. Very bad design

I love everything about this car except for its reliability. Mine died with only 1,400 miles on it and needed a tow off the interstate. I should have known then. Over its life, it has had four dead batteries, over $2,000 so far in electrical repairs, and latest is over 7 days in the shop with 24 indicators in the computer. The GM tech center is taking bets on what the problem is. Many parts have been replaced, so far including the computer itself. This is the last Cadillac I will ever own (first one was an '84, remember those engines that blew up?). I have never owned a "foreign" car, but this one has done it. For the first time in 50 years, I am considering a nice Japanese vehicle.
