I've been lurking around here for a while. My wife has a thing for Caddies and I end up fixing them. She trashed her STS and not has a 98 Cat. Not too bad in terms of problems. The standard stuff. Heater Control Valve, tire wear, timing belt was replaced by recall, and last night I finished up the valve cover gaskets. It's still missing though. I'm afraid the wires need to be changed. Lowest price I found was $140 for the set at Carquest. Ouch.
If I can make a suggestion, it's search the archives. I'm constantly amazed at people who post stories of going to the dealer for an oil leak (obviously the valve covers 9/10 times) and end up replacing oil pan, head gasket, etc. and finally the valve covers. If you're a member of this forum and the Yahoo group, you can save yourself thousands of dollars.
