1988 Cadillac Seville sedan 4.5L V8 from North America

Summary:

Good looks, good performance, good car!

Faults:

Radiator had crack in the tank.

I slammed on the transmission on a regular basis and it finally gave out.

Small things like paint coming off, trim coming off.

Leather is worn.

General Comments:

Very nice car. Shines up very nice.

Besides the listed problems, the car is very reliable. I live in Vermont where it can reach -40, but the car always starts!

Like I said, I pounded on this car and nothing really broke except the transmission, which makes sense I guess.

I put a flowmaster exhaust on her, with a K&N filter kit. Will smoke most of those idiot ricers!

1988 Cadillac Seville 4.5 liter V8 from North America

Summary:

Cadillac Style, Comfort, performance, and Luxury will Never Die

Faults:

Water Pump (Known When Bought)

Thermostat (No Biggie)

Calibration problem with Computer results in mileage error

A/C compressor (not the fault of car)

Standard Seat wear for a car of this age.

General Comments:

GOOD CAR

Excellent gas mileage I averaged over 25mpg for 90% of the time I drove it.

Great performance,it smokes the ricers and most of the sports cars.

Excellent reliability, when the a/c compressor locked up (r-12 overcharge, mechanics fault) instead of stalling, it ripped the clutch out of the compressor!! if that dosn't say reliable then I don't know what does.

Very solid, it makes you feel safe.

Handling is great for a 3700 lb car.

Very comfortable with a very smooth ride.

The only draw back was the low ground clearance it has a tendency to rub in certain situations.

I just bought a '88 Seville, and it is refreshing to read your comments. I have never owned a Caddie, but I love the car.

I am happy with the purchase.
