2003 Cadillac Deville Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

[@AshaDevi-rh6vu]

I owned this car for over 10 years. This is the very best car. Great engine, comfort and superb drive. People tell a lot of bad things about north star engine.. on my car.. for over 10 years, no leak or issue of any time.. I still have it and it is great. I prefer it over my X5.

[@ezraboren2069]

It's a great car but the head bolts were too small so it would blow up a lot. They put better head bolts on the 04-05 so that's the one to get for reliability

I remember when the new Deville came out in late 99 for the 2000 model year and I always loved it much more than any previous Deville. My parents had just bought a 1994 Seville SLS from Coastal Cadillac in New Port Richey, Florida. I was only a little guy at the time and I remember playing in these Cadillac's when they were new in the showroom. I now have a 2005 Deville of my own with every option available in light cashmere/gold and I love it!!! This one being the last year for the Deville has the custom Livery package with special options on it. I waited almost 15 years for one and wound up finding one from an older lady who had it for sale close to where I live. It was too nice and at a steal of a price to pass up. All that waiting paid off!! I keep mine maintained the way it should and run it the way it needs to. These Northstar engines are really amazing. Even our 1994 Seville SLS was one of the best cars we ever had. Even that car, never a single problem to this day and it still looks like new when we bought it. Take care of your Cadillac's and your Cadillac will take care of you.

[@willnewman7485]

hitek9wittafulclip I hate when people say this stupid stuff because they no nothing about cadillacs. 2005 was the last year of the deville.2006 was the first year of the DTS. Not much of a difference. The difference is a redesign and and a name change.

[@richardbrown-cook9978]

Is it a DTS?

[@hakeemsd70m]

@@willnewman7485 Well in all fairness, DTS did stand for Deville Touring Sedan. Also, the 06 DTS was more of a heavy refresh of the Deville than a all-out redesign.

[@starxlr7863]

@@hakeemsd70m Correct it is a base model Deville. The Deville DHS would be more heavily optioned throughout. The Deville DTS would have the floor mounter shifter and performance appearance. Any model Deville is a great car. I have a few friends that have these Deville's and are all happy owners including myself with my 05 Deville.

[@starxlr7863]

+N1GHT5 I agree. Cadillac should never have stopped making big luxury cars since that is what they are known for. Same with Buick and Lincoln. No wonder sales are down right now for those three. Very sad to me since they were some of the most popular cars on the road for many many years.

[@UnitedRecording]

The new CT6 though.... if that had a revamped Northstar... it could push 500hp easy and be a freaking awesome replacement for the DTS/XTS

[@starxlr7863]

UnitedRecording Cadillac did have a V12 and V16 Northstar engines in the future plans but those plans were shelved back when the economy tanked. That was also during their not so great years and were having to consolidate brands and models. But Cadillac should revive those engines being all there own once again.

+Hickland Productions WOW i guess you do love it!!! I have two Deville's myself. I first bought a 2005 Deville special edition with only 120k as my daily driver. Today I just bought a 2001 Deville crimson red pearl with only 50k!!! Both cars have been garaged, well maintained and elderly owned. Both cars were to hard to walk away from!!! The owners of the 2001 i bought today really wanted me to have the car since I love Cadillac's and that it was going to a good home. I have ZERO complaints. I plan on keeping these two Deville's a long time. I would love to get a Seville STS eventually to add to my Cadillac collection. I Hope you enjoy yours for as long as you own it!!!

[@TinyDrPhil]

+AMCNorthstar 93 I don't mean to bother but considering the fact that you own 2005 Deville (and i am in the market for one) I was wondering if $3000 was a good price for a next to perfect condition one?

[@starxlr7863]

Edson Bugatti $3000 for a nice example is nothing! That's a great price for a car like the Deville. I bought my 05 Deville with just over 115k for about $3000. I fixed a small problem it had and have no more than $100 worth of parts. So far, its been an excellent car and a great performer and couldn't be any happier.

[@TinyDrPhil]

+AMCNorthstar 93 Since you've had to fix the car, are the parts as expensive as I keep bieng told some people say they're new ford prices some say old porche. The one I'm looking at will need the front bumper replaced.

[@starxlr7863]

Edson Bugatti The only parts that I bought for my car was 8 new AC Delco spark plugs Iranium tip that cost almost $70 for me. Also bought and installed a new TPS sensor in the transmission and basic maintenance. Some things may be more expensive for other people since they need to rely on shops or dealers to do the work. I did all the repairs myself being around these cars all my life so I'm very familiar with them. The front bumper is nothing. You can easily find a good bumper off any 2000-05 Deville at a salvage yard. Its really the labor that costs the most for any car. Hope this helps.......

[@bowl1or2]

I love Cadillac's DeVille series. I have a 1990 sedan I'm driving as a daily right now and have been for about a year . Hasn't had any issues yet. It's in great condition for a 25 year old car actually and I'm proud to drive it lol!

No matter what anyone thinks. My parents still drive their 1995 Seville SLS since 1999 and still running great.

This is going to sound weird but actually my dad owned a Luxury Car Service and about 10-13 years years ago this is what he drove. I still love this car. Unfortunately my dad got rid of it due to terrible oil leak, seems to be problem with all old Devilles anywho. This is my dream car and I wish I had the EXACT same car shown on the video. As that is literally the exact copy of my dads car. Great car runs smooth and has power. I wish I could get the same car today

[@brettweaver9608]

I owned this year/model having purchased it used with 60ish K miles. The thing drove so nicely, floated down the road, and was most comfortable in terms of seating. Unfortunately, after less than a few weeks, I noticed it was burning oil in excess. I took it back to the dealer and was informed that this is a characteristic of this engine. Additionally, for some reason the dash was separating on these models - I had seen some others when I did my research. Needless to say, I returned the car as much as I hated to. I'm now looking for a Lincoln Town Car instead. For those owners of this model, congratulations and I hope that you do not experience the issues I did.

[@eots44]

You should do more reviews of these generation Devilles, they're my favorite generation and you only have one video of it but like 5 for the 90s ones. I also feel this wasn't as good of a review as your other ones, would have liked to see a driving video.

[@reallycooly]

***** you ain't lying

[@UnitedRecording]

Going back to Cadillac's roots, they've always made good FWD cars. It's actually a great FWD setup - driving it is pleasant, even the performance one is nice and minimal torque steer

[@Browningate]

UnitedRecording I guess it's something to try before dismissing the notion.

[@UnitedRecording]

Yes. I own one - it is a solid car. 320k miles on mine. It drives very well and lots of torque to spin the wheels if you want (with traction control off). It hasn't even rusted, and I live up north... I think that they dipped it in an electro bath that prevents rust.

[@Browningate]

UnitedRecording Really? 320k on an early-2000s Deville?

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

My dad got a 04' deville base and it has 142,000 miles! Only 2 real known problems, on the 4.6L North Star is that inside the manifold there is a oil seal that is dry rotten and a small drip is beginning to occur, Cadillac will charge 3,500$ to repair the seal, unfortunately they will have to pull the engine to do so, also the SACE or satellite auditory communication exchange antenna is got a rubber seal that raps around the point section, it is cracked, it still works but it is recommended to be replaced, but that takes removing a large wire assembly from between the roof and the roof cover in the inside the car and then replacing the mirror reprogramming the onstar system, afterwards replacing the headliner. Other than that it's great,

[@skyfall8124]

lol "other than that it is great". the problems u discussed dont seem minor. sounds very expensive and painstaking

[@skylancer-zer0205]

My dad has a 2004 Deville DHS and I got to drive it a couple times. loved how effortlessly it got up to speed, sometimes caught me off guard accelerating from traffic lights XD The only issues I have with the car is the vague steering and lack of headroom due to the thick insulation on the roof.

I've had a 2000 and several other, earlier years. Its been my favorite car i otherwise wouldn't have liked or tried if i hadn't gotten it as a company car. Its comfortable and smooth and i loved taking it on the roadtrip, but i'd choose something older over getting another one. 2000 is the best out of 00-05 because its got the correct wreath and crest emblems (not the smoothed ones like the car in the video has), so you've got something to care about enough to do the head gasket work when it inevitably comes up. I couldn't save my company car, but if i had actually owned it i would have, its worth it. I just prefer boxier bodies, bigger engines, and rear wheel drive ;3

@Xziau1 They've had it since they bought it new in 2002. They don't have a huge amount of miles on it, because while they drove to Florida and back in it until a few years ago, they don't drive much otherwise. I think they had some problem with it, but I can't remember if it was in the cooling system or the engine itself. I know that these models have some problems with the pistons in the engines misfiring and such, but I don't believe they've had any problem that serious (at least so far).
