Re: The STS is gone and I'm out almost $6K....

Yeah, wouldn't it have made more since financially to fix the car? For $2500 you could have been back on the road driving a car you love. I'd say the dealer made out on that deal.

Now don't blame 'late model' Cadillacs either. Yours was a 99 with how many miles? Pre 2000 known to be susceptible to that problem. Improvements have been made on 2 generations since then.

2005 + is considered late model at this point. 1999 is 11 years old any way you slice it and if you think a VW is going to be more reliable than a Cadillac I can tell you from experience you're dead wrong.
