2002 Cadillac Seville STS Northstar
Summary:
Could be the best car ever made
Faults:
Just got the car and nothing's gone wrong (yet).
General Comments:
This has to be one of the finest automobiles ever made by anyone, ever.
It is supremely comfortable, handles beautifully and has incredible power.
Fortunately for me, this car depreciated very fast... I was able to get a car whose sticker MSRP in 2002 was $55,000... for only $21,000 from a Cadillac dealer in Sep. 2005. My car looks (and smells) brand new with only 43000 miles. It's also GM Certified which extends the b-to-b warranty to 100,000 miles... pretty nice deal... not worried about things that might break now.
I've owned Acura, Audi and Lexus in the past, but this car is converting me back to a GM guy. No kidding... it is that nice.
I'm age 50 now, so my car needs to be a bit on the comfy side for longer trips. I feel confident that I could drive the car for 8 hours and get out feeling totally refreshed.
I was a bit concerned about all I read re: vibration, but my car rides perfect at all speeds.
Have fun if you get one. Now I'll be looking forward to the year 2009 when I start looking for my used 2005 STS... probabaly pick it up for about $25K.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I agree. I bought mine use with 18k on it - it was like new. A couple scratches and nothing much else. I love it. It's like the perfect mix of performance and luxury. I know it can't be the best ever, but price, performance, reliability (thus far) are really unmatched. AND, it looks great. The sound system is tops and it gets up and goes. What else is there? I really do believe some negative comments (for all the manufacturers) are from people with agendas - some of these claims are just a bit much. Even low end cars aren't as bad as what they are trying to say.
