Great highway commuter car

I just got this car from Ebay a month ago with almost 170K miles. However, everything works as it should and the 300HP engine is still going strong when I paunch it to the floor. Used primarily as commute car to out-of-state job and have found it can do 28-29MPG on highway. For a 4600CC engine and 4000lb car, this is incredible. So far I've put on 2000 miles and there is no issue at all. I have never thought a cheap 2nd-hand car can be this much fun and economical.

This replaced my Olds Toronado, which I loved. But this almost candy apple red turns heads to this day. Much better looking than the shorter newer ones. No mechanical problems until this year, when remote keyless entry and front struts failed. But the last four years have included driving a 5- mile poorly maintained dirt road in the Rocky Mountains to get to and from our home and highway.

This is a great touring car and very comfortable in traffic. The Northstar engine is remarkable. My mileage is 18.5 in town and 22 MPG on the open road.When I need power and it feels like my lips are being stretched by G force. It is a great performer
Great car

I have been very happy with my Cadillac. It has 120,000 miles on it now and I had to replace the a/c pump. Car runs good on open road. Love the sound system. Handles very good. 24.7 on the road at today's highway speeds.

I bought this car super clean at 24000 mi.in 1999 for $30500.I just traded it in for $10000, 3.4 years later.The car was a minimal attempt.It could be fun to drive, and was very comfortable.However, it was not put together well.I had this car in for work 18 times during it's stay with me.As usual,GM built it just good enough to show well,but no longevity was built into the car.Unless you warranty the hell out of it,and you better,you 're doomed.Without a warranty,this car would have been an additional $9000.A+ to service.Always had a free loaner to make up for their bumbling.
