Nice find! I upgraded to a 2001 Seville SLS last month, also in White Diamond, and I love it. Amazing car (but then you already knew that).

Good to see you back Adam! You've got my favorite post 2000 Cadillac! 
He's probably got Magnaride now, so that's not as big of an issue lol.
SORRY ADAM, I HAD TO DO IT.
Even though I'm still getting reacquainted with it... It's kind of strange actually. There's a definite familiarity there... A lot of things feel very, very similar to the SLS, but at the same time just a little bit different.
I can't quite put my finger on it.
To be honest... I can't really notice the extra 25 horses, since the "rush" of the power seems very similar, but then again, it's been a little over a year since I've been in the SLS. However, I can say that I do notice a slight difference in the way it delivers the power - the shifts are definitely more aggressive. Plus, it does feel more composed all around, which I suspect owes thanks in no small part to the Magnaride suspension... It seems to "eat" up the road much more effortlessly.
On the inside, again everything feels very familiar. The SLS had the wood appearance package so that's the same. However, the sunroof and the navigation system just make the whole cabin feel different.
Speaking of which, the car came with all of the original documentation except of course, for the Navigation supplemental manual. So I've been having to have a go at it blind. Thankfully, so far it seems fairly intuitive... I've been able to clear out the original owner's information and enter in some of my own, but I know there's still quite a bit to do with it that I haven't figured out yet.
It just feels really good to be back in the driver's seat of a Seville. The dealer also had a couple of CTSs on the lot and we did take one out for a spin, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. In terms of overall luxury and power, they seemed like a step down from the STS, despite having slightly higher sticker prices.
Either way... It's good to be "home."

No worries Chad...He's probably got Magnaride now, so that's not as big of an issue lol.

Maybe my time away was for the better, it's helped me to just completely ignore the old, flatulent one. :yup:
Thanks Jesda.
The trim badge played very little in the decision... I bought another Seville. I still stand by all of my original bemoaning... Like I said, any of the differences are slight and for the very large part - it's the same car. If anyone comes and asks for an opinion between the two, I'll still say everything I used to. Only now, I'm in a better position to reaffirm it all
But like I said... It is good to be home.
