how long should my 93 caddy deville 4.9 last it's got 101,000 miles on it and i really keep up with all maintenance including coolant with tablets and i just got the trans rebuilt last week.

200k+ if you're lucky

why do you say if im lucky?

Have a '91 DeVille that I bought four years ago with 200,000 miles on it. Now has 257,000 and the 4.9 continues to run strong.

wow did you have your trans rebuilt yet i got mine rebuilt last week and now she runs great i wanna restore her with new paint and a new top. it's white with a blue top and blue interior interior is immaculate.

With regular care........they're invincible. You'll make 300k easy, but you'll most likely have to replace the trans at least one more time.

okay good im gonna get the aamco lifetime trans warranty with regular maintenance do you think the motor will last or will i have to rebuild the motor too?

I don't think I've ever seen a 4.9 that had to be rebuilt. The most mileage I've ever seen was a '91 Seville with 360k, that was still running strong.

wow okay cool i guess i bought a great car even though the trans went out at 101,000 miles but it runs great now that i got it rebuilt at a good aamco that a place is better buisness buerau i hope it will last me 300,000 and more.

why do you say if im lucky?

Some crap out early, but for the most part they'll last a LONG time

ok i hope mine lasts a long time mine doesn't leak or anything she run's great.

I had my transmission rebuilt at 216,000 miles. As far as I know, the engine hasn't been touched. Certainly nothing more than a tuneup and regular oil changes since I've owned the car.

Oh ok what's the mileage on the car now?

It's at 257,000 now. I haven't driven it much since I bought my '01 Seville in February, but I'm hanging onto it to give to my niece in January.

Wow ok i hope mine makes it to 300k or longer i wanna restore it give it a new paint job and put a new vinyl top on it and just restore it and keep it for a long time i love my caddy.

I've got 284,310 miles on my 91 deville with the only problem being that I need a new ABS pump. I keep up with her as much as possible. Tune up twice out of the year and coolant changes being one in the summer and one in the winter. I've been through two trans. rebuilds one being at 136,000 miles and the other at 274,000.

My 94 Sedan Deville with the 4.9 has 291,000 miles. the engine is still incredibly strong running, and has great power. Very smooth and quiet.

I do need to change out the struts and shocks, as they are shot. I just became the owner this year, and it has been maintained, but it could be a much nicer car, if all the maintenance had been kept up better.

For instance, the leather seats are ripped on the drivers side, and the leather is dried out. I also had to have the drivers side seat frame fixed. When I bought the car, the drivers seat was propped up with a 5 gallon bucket between it and the edge of the backseat.:D
