Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this site & am looking to purchase an 00 - 03 Seville (SLS or STS I'm not totally sure yet) and looking for some help with the following questions, here goes:
- Does the 00 - 03 Seville come factory equipped with a front strut tower bar? (or is one available in the aftermarket?)
- What are some things I should be aware of when purchasing used? IE: mechanical problems, electrical woe's, recalls etc? (keep in mind I will be purchasing the vehicle still under factory warrenty, with service history & most likely getting an extended warrenty on the car as well cause let's face it.....she's a Caddy & parts aren' cheap
- I've heard that if the vehicle has a serious oil leak, it can take up to 24 hours of labout to repair cause of taking apart half the engine to get to it.....is this true?
- Is the vehicle easy to service? ie: spark plugs easy to replace, PCV valve, fuel filter etc?
- What kind of replacement spark plugs should I consider & why? IE:
factory platinum, NGK iridium, Bosch + 4's etc.
- Are factory H.I.D. headlights expensive to replace if they burn out? & how much?
- Is regular (87 octane) gasoline or premium suggested?
- Does the Northstar engine have a history of burning oil & should I use synthetic like Mobil 1?
- Any other help, suggestions not mentioned here if you would like to tell me would be of great help! Thanks to all of you in advance for your advice & opnions!
