Faults:

Passenger side trans axle, has become very loose and has needed replacement.

The car has a leak from the oil pan, a small one.. but a leak nonetheless.

The leather in the seats has cracked.

The passenger side mirror is hard to keep in alignment with the bumps of the road.

General Comments:

I bought this car from its 3rd owner recently. The man who owned it before me gave me a truckload of spare parts to go with the vehicle, so I have everything under the sun to keep this car going for years.

She sits low to the ground, driving her is like driving a couch, we are talking about serious comfort!

All of the internal components work - power windows, the cruise control, the antenna auto up and down, the original quartz clock still works and has never missed a minute, the air conditioning blows out crisp cool air, and in the cold months the car heats up within five minutes. Even out in the snow you will feel the need to remove your jacket.

The cabin is very easy on the eyes, for a car that is over 30 years old there are no cracks in the dashboard or any other vinyl component.

However the seats have seen better days, but still hold a very unique comfort.

When you drive this car down the road, with her fine lines and near mint chrome and paint, people stop and stare.. it's a badge of honor to drive this car.

Faults:

Seats have started to wear after almost 30 years of use.

Rad stopped Cycling for 2 years before it got fixed.

Air ride failed, but its fairly cheap and easy to do if you are a whizz with that stuff.

Seatbelts stopped locking.

Power antenna burned out.

General Comments:

I love this car to death it is the best car I have ever owned.

Its like riding a cloud you don't feel a thing.

There is so much room in the front seats that you can recline it and sleep more comfortably than you would in your own bed.

With about 3 meters of hood infront of you along with the 6.5 tons of car behind you, you feel invincible.

This car does not go fast, but that's not the point its made to go down the road with elegance which it does.

This Car is perfect for those of you who don't take corners over 50kmh, need to stop fast or don't mind the 4 miles per gallon rate that it drives at.

My only advice is to watch out for bad CV Joints because they are near impossible to come across and to have one made will cost a fortune.

AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR VINYL!

Faults:

The power steering tube leaked. New one ordered from NAPA. No problems.

Hood hinges and springs need lots of grease and should be replaced if rusted. Hood is very heavy.

Doors are very heavy.

General Comments:

The car is wonderful. Rides like a dream. Comfortable like none other. The only problem is the doors and hood is very heavy. Parts are very cheap which makes this car great to own. 27 gallons makes it a bit high to drive every day.

Faults:

Air ride is the first thing to go, and is really expensive to repair.

Seatbelts stopped locking.

Radiator stopped cycling before I bought it, and was never fixed and was driven for 2 years before I fixed it.

Auto dimming sensor went on the fritz.

General Comments:

I absolutely loved this car. It did need its share of work, but it was worth it.

It's like driving on a cloud - you don't feel anything.

The leveling system is great. If you load it up to go camping, you can't tell there is anything in it.

There is room for about 6 people in the trunk. "6 man trunk"

Faults:

Rust holes so big you fit your hand, arm, shoulder, and head up into trunk. it leaked just about every fluid you put into it. it was a serious gas hog, the secondary muffler fell off.

General Comments:

OK, this car was just a rusted heap on the side of Highway 55. but the guy only wanted 150 dollars for it and I just got my license and I needed a cheap car. what better car than a Cadillac? I live in MN and it seemed logical to get a front wheel drive car, and the Eldorado was that. this car was almost 19 feet long, and it slid around dirt corners like it was on rails. and when you miss-judge the corner and end up in the ditch, this car would just pull you right out without a scratch and no fuss. I only got to drive it for a short while before I realized the running cost of such a car was out of my league at the time, but if I find another, i'll probably buy it.

Faults:

The clock did not work when I purchased the car.

General Comments:

These cars are easy to find in excellent, low mileage condition.

The big Eldorados are still very affordable and offer bold style.

This car is very comfortable and reliable.
