Nice Car
I have never had any problems with my Seville except for minor oil burn, about one quart every 1,500 - 2,000 miles. Other than that nothing. This car is extremely responsive and takes high speed turns very well for a 3800 vehicle. The Bose stereo system sounds nice but is not spectacularly loud. The low beam headlights do not have great range, but high beams are fantastically bright.
2nd owner blues
Bought the car used in 98 with 35k miles now ahve 72k. Car looks great run good but had to replace struts at 65k miles. Cost $3k, yes $3000 also had the battery go bad and the dealership charged us $100 to read the computer...our fault we don't deal with them anymore. The car also depreciates more than average

A Great Car
I have a 96' STS. I've enjoyed the car since day one. I bought it with 45000 miles on it in 98'. It now has 145000 miles on it. The power of the northstar engine is amazing! It will try and slip on you between 1st and 2nd at full throttle. I have yet to find the top end. The car handles well. Some bounce at this point but it holds the road when asked. The interior is set up well. Nice Bose system with changer. Automatic windshild wipers are very cool. The air conditioning works great even in the summer heat. You will love this car!
Civilized HotRod
What more can I say? You have to drive this car in order to appreciate its comfort, performance, and the service at your caddy dealership. The motor runs strongand feels new. I have hit close to 120 mph and there was no vibration of any kind. Watch out for repairs! A new tranny can run close to $4 K at the dealership. Mine was replaced at 99K by the dealership so I dodged that bullet. If looking to buy, make sure the tranny has been serviced regularly, or its big bucks out of your pocket. Other than that I prefer my cadillac over the Euro Luxo group.
Very Nice Car
I just recently bought this car. I was going to buy a newer LS but saw this car for sale and decided to drive it. I was really impressed. Its handling is great and EXTREMELY responsive. The car has 145,000 miles on it and it runs fine. I probably will only have it for another year, but it will keep me satisfied. I might stick with another Cadillac for my next car.
