Bad luck..Poor quality..or Lemon?????
I bought the vehicle with 49k. Within the first 2-wks I replaced the gear shifter, thermostat, power steering pump, passenger door speaker, struts, condensation build up in front and back lights, and one of the ac vents (all covered under wrnty). At 55k, the radio started to turn off on occasion and passenger heated seat doesn't work..never fixed..at 60k (all within one week) my service air bag light came on, water pump and battery went bad, cylinder needs replaced. I just replaced the brakes/rotors...I'm finished with Cadillac and trading the vehicle in.
Cadillac not so great
Bought the vehicle with 25K on it. Had to have speakers, fog light assembly, fuel pump and driver side interior door pannel replaced all within 6 months. It was still under warranty so there was no cost. At 51K miles, the engine went out and had to be replaced at a cost of $8,000.00. They ran tests and could not determine why the engine blew. At any rate, Cadillac and the dealer refused to help with the replacement cost or any portion of it since it was over the 50K mile limit.
Better Wood Would Be Good
I bought my STS in Nov. Super smooth ride , I will only buy a car with a V8 engine or larger...I like the 300HP ....The way it handles is great...(got me out of more then one sticky situtation)...But cornering could be better.....I like it better then the 1999 E-Class and I dont even consider BMWs.....The wood in the interior could be improved....and I need to buy a new fan for the drivers side heating system....Other then that Iam thrilled.....$53,000 NEW....Paid $26K...1999 is 99% identical to 2003 Model
"Should I" or "Shouldn't I" ?
Like many other car buyers I like to do a little research. I checked on the vehicle recall list (nothing). Checked "carfax" (nothing). I read quite a few reviews, and for every review that gave it favorable remarks, there were 2 comparing it to foriegn cars, and knocking the Caddy. I like the style, but didn't want something I would be dissatisfied with-in a few months ("should I" or "shouldn't I")? This voice kept playing over and over in my head. I figured with only 26K miles, it was still under warranty, so I took the plunge. I am glad I did, I am very happy with the car.
99 STS
I drove a Concurs prior to the STS. I GOT OUT OF THYE CONCURS AT 235,000 miles. The STS is a delight in every way an automobile should be, however be prepared for a lot smaller car, especially in the rear seat and trunk. Every Northstar owner I have talked with will agree these things drink oil. It does not show up on the garage floor or the tail pipe, but always carry two quarts in your trunk.
