1998 Cadillac Eldorado

Pros: Ran good, good gas mileage,
Cons: Electrical problems, electrical problems. EXPENSIVE to REPAIR

Now I know why GM is in trouble and the Toyota's,Nissan's etc. are gaining market share.
I bought a 1998 Eldorado, used with 33,000 miles. The car now has 61,000 and its reliability is horrible.

First, the Traction Control light came on and would not go off at all. Never affected the handling,didnt notice any noise,etc. Took it back to the dealer and $385.00 later to replace a senser.

Second, the electric seats stopped working, the passenger side window would go down. However, you had to wait an hour to get it to go back up.They said it was a bad motor.

Third, the dash lights would go on and off whenever they felt like it. Never did get that fixed after repeated trips to the dealer I gave up.

Fourth,the cruise control stopped working..luckily, the dealer fixed under a recall.

Last, the drivers side tail light and front drivers side parking lights went out..a cool $ 1,000.00 to repalce a bunch of wires that were all melted under the rear seat.

To GM and the people who built this piece of crap. I bought a Lexus..I wont ever be coming back

Pros: great road car, I LOVE IT.
Cons: premium fuel & cheaply made interior

I purchase a '98 std coupe with a cd player & moon roof with 56,000 miles, for 10,000.00
The car as runs great, now has 71,000 miles on it.

My oil consumption varies, usually every 1,500 miles for a quart, I keep 2 in the trunk.

A slight tear on the arm rest, you are right the interior could be better.

No mechanical problems except tune up and 0'2 sensors.

Your are right IT MUST BE DRIVEN. I have on the highway at least 3 tines a week, tromping on it. What's the best way to check the oil? I tend to over fill.

Pros: Fairly quiet. Heated seats! Great looking car.
Cons: Sound system isn't what you'd expect from Bose.

This is a great 2-door car, especially for the price of a used one. The car feels like it's riding on air and the leather seats cradle your body. The large doors means large windows, which is really nice. Getting one with a sun-roof is a must! Overall, just a great luxury car without paying an arm-and-a-leg, and I guarantee the car will get noticed.
