The generation of people who purchased those comfortable cars is quickly fading. Most younger people will never be able to appreciate the ride quality of a smooth cadillac deville or lincoln town car.

[@toddprater14]

That’s cause they are sold on chink mobiles

I'm 16 and just bought a 2006 DTS with the Luxury ii package! Drives smooth as can be. 300hp is plenty! Value for money is absolutely incredible.

Mine was the best car I’ve ever had in regards to comfortabillity and still had some power

Bought an 08 from my grandfather before he passed. 119k, but always garaged. No one had ever sat in the back seat. It's beautiful. My Sunday driver. You can't explain a car like this to someone who has never driven one from this era.

[@warrens6479]

I bought a 2007 back in 2014 and I loved it! I was a social worker and put 100k on it and loved every mile doing it, My long trips on the road were so much more enjoyable because of this car. My version had a column shifter (nothing like popping a column shifter into gear) and had a sixth seat up front between the driver and passenger, one of the last cars to still have the feature. It sadly caught fire after an electrical issue and two Cadillacs later, I miss it every day!

[@Thomass-yc7wm]

I travel 110miles a day round trip for work and this car handles amazing as a daily driver. Just make sure to change ur oil out every 3-4k miles and keep an eye on stabilitrak. The tire pressure sensors like to give out so use a mechanical pressure gauge to accurately measure it. Also keep an eye on your power steering pump they usually only last for about 80-120k miles unless really taken care of (mine has full service history records one owner no accidents and is on its way out at 140k miles)

I don't like how the driver seat doesn't go back all the way like in the older Cadillacs can't full stretch legs on long rides

[@Dynobrat]

Nobody would recommend a used Cadillac to a 15 year old unless they were driving it in the woods. You pay premium for parts most people refuse to pay, and you just end up with a problem child for somebody else to fix.

[@nickyj3571]

Parts are normal prices if you work on these cars yourself. Mostly basic GM parts which are interchangeable between Buick and Chevy

I want one so bad but it’s a shame the north star is notorious for head gasket issues.

[@Dynobrat]

It's not a concern for 2005+ cars. The most important thing is to not let them overheat, you kill the water pump. That then kills the cam and tensioner pulley. Heat on high in the drive thru and lightly tap the rpm to 1,000 every few seconds just enough to excite the water pump. This is a good choice if you can't find a good Crown Vic or Town Car. Even then, chances are they'll need a manifold or something that needs repair. These are good cars if you find one with a solid underbody and no hack repair jobs!

[@htownandre7385]

Be prepared for oil leaks and severe steering rack leak

[@caylee3277]

Damn is that true? Cause I was just looking into a 2006 with 83k for 7k , single owner, what should I do drive it and get the engine hot and then have the car lifted and look at the underside and check for leaks???

[@rocnnrollbus]

Midwest Cadillac Repair, Palatine, IL. They fix the head gaskets issue on older Northstars and reseals the engine, taking care of the oil leaks. Forever. 2001 Seville STS, head gaskets and engine resealed back in 2014, still running strong no overheats and no oil leaks. 2200 bucks. Still the same price in 2022.

I have an 02 Deville that developed severe oil leaks. Like follow my trail and see where I went bad. I also have an 08 DTS I have parked due to a water leak I have to deal with. That one has oil leaks starting. I plan on resealing it. I beat the living crap out of them. Especially the 02. I can vouch that they eat up the curves, in comfort. :-)
