I am just starting to get into cadillacs, and am ready to purchase my first one. Is there anyone in the nyc area who could show me the ropes? I would really love to be able to have someone who knows more about these cars then I do come along with me, and make sure I'm not buying a lemon. Drinks or lunch on me or something, lol.

Also, if I eventually want to try doing a few basic things on the car myself, like tune it up, it would be really helpful to have someone slightly more experienced around to make sure I don't blow myself up.

anybody? thanks in advance!

Post your question there, you'll get a better response.

What year/model are you looking to get?

I want a '94-'00 eldorado, a '94-'00 seville, or a '96-'00 Deville, because from my research those appear to be the models that have the 275hp N*. I prefer the slightly boxier look so I don't want newer than 2000, and they are priced higher than what I'm looking to spend right now anyways.

My ideal choice would be an eldorado. Truthfully I don't really know what the huge difference is supposed to be between a sev, dev, and eldorado, other than that the eldorado has a clearly different look to me and the deville's got the engine upgrade 2 years later than the others
