I'm keeping this thread around as kind of a one year long term test, to see how a Seville ages after it's already 8 years broken in. So far at the almost 7 month mark, the car has given me no motor trouble to speak of. My problems have been with the accessories, mainly the still shining "Service Theft" message, the sometimes bipolar radio, and the aspirator fan which is on it's way out.

Today I took the car in for it's most comprehensive service yet, getting an oil change, new crankshaft sensors, a new intake plenum, a glovebox and drivers door adjustment and few things I'm forgetting. I'm $500 poorer, buy my slightly "off" idle is much improved, though it's still not perfect. With a tuneup coming soon, I expect that to be fixed completely soon. My passenger headlight is still in bad shape, and very soon I will get that fixed, along with some touchup and a few dents that are getting on my nerves. I get new tires next week, most likely cheaper Uniroyal's along with a RFB and alignment. My next service will include the aftermentioned spark plugs and boots, a tranny flush, and a/c service. Other than my gripes, the car is still impressive after 7 months and 11k miles of service. I still stare at it when walking away, which causes most people to look in confusion. They don't get it.
