Hi, I've been looking at purchasing a Caddy for a while, so I figured I'd do some online research, and found this site.
I love my Corvette, but there are times when it just isn't practical (two-seat, no luggage space, not a wondeful winter car), so I've been looking for some supplemental transportation. Normally I'd say I was looking for a "beater," but I don't think a Cadillac qualifies for that in the same way that my current oil-drinking Ford does :)
I'm looking at an '89 Sedan DeVille, and if everything goes well, I should take possession early next week. I need to put it on a lift and get a look at the mechanicals, but if it is in the condition that the owner described to me, then I'm definitely going to buy it. I posted a thread here (http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=3261) if anyone has specific comments about things to look for.
I guess I have wide-ranging tastes, because I certainly enjoy flying down a winding road with the tops off the 'Vette, feeling every bump and groove in the pavement, while the radio strains to be heard over the roar of the exhaust, but I also think it would be nice to have a more "sedate" car on some occasions.
Any others out there who own both a Caddy and a 'Vette, and know what I'm talking about?
