Hello every one, I am looking into getting my first Cadillac and am seeking opinions about this car near me. Is this a good deal, or should I just look elswhere. My concern is the high mileage on the car. Thank you. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...2000&listingId=337034935&listingIndex=6&Log=0

High mileage? It has less than 100K.

Nobody can tell you if THAT car is worth buying, based on a few pictures and a description. Only a thorough inspection and a test drive will tell you that. Generally speaking, a '00+ is a better car.

my neighbor has a 97 deville w/102k miles for 900. needs a headgasket repair. so these 2 cars are pretty similar. see what a leaky head does?

That's actually low miles for the year (average is 12 - 15k a year), but I think its overpriced for a pre 2000 car.

I think its wayyy over priced... i almost bought s 98 deville with 88k for 4000. he still has the car and now id offer him 3300. Id offer the guy 3300 cash money and and pray for no HG issues.. Plus from the pics it looks like it needs new tires

 

[stoveguyy]

Any dealer thinks a car with less than 100k miles is gold plated. I drive by my neighbors caddy every day. Sure looks good and I know Icahn do the work but my garage is jammed and it's -10f today. Ugh.

:yeah:

This car is a year older than my '95 was when I bought it. I paid $3700 (from a dealer). I felt like that was rather high, but it was in exceptional condition.
Mileage is quite low on that one. It looks nice, if you can get it for the right price.

Check it closely. Drive it long enough to get it to normal operating temperature and give it some WOT. If the temperature starts to climb, run like a pair of cheap pantyhose. The '98's seem to have the second worse HG failure rate.

High millage? That's very low millage for a 98 which is 15 years old i wouldn't worry about the millage but more of the HG's gotta do that engine block test!!!

Nice looking car, but too much $$$. I paid 3k for mine with 74k miles for the same car(mine's not D'elegance).
I see them for 3-4k all day long here....with less than 100k on them.

 

[basscatt]

that's crazy high money for a '98 -
and it looks like rust around the gas filler door -

there were so many improvements made on the 2000+ motors -
not to mention the newer body style -
I personally wouldn't even consider ant Northstar powered Cadillac older than a 2000 -

 

[MoistCabbage]

I think that's a broken fuel cap tether, not rust.

OK - damn - small screens

how about glare from the sun on the screen -

 

[MoistCabbage]

Well aren't you a crafty one.

Ok, that'll do.....this time.

 

[CadillacLuke24]

Nope :nono:

Can't use that one :thehand:

basscatt's just.... eeking:

OLD! :hide: :duck: :getaway:

I kid! I kid

 

[dave4290]

DaveB,
I am a dealer in AZ, and that car is WAY overpriced sir. Dont get "sold" by a dealer. You can pick up 2000 model years and newer all day long for less than that

 

[DaveB1975]

Thank you all for the help, great things to think about. I have nothing but time so I will continue to shop around.
