SS Silv Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Maybe the older Cadys are reliable, but ive lost faith in the new Cadillac's. My mom has a CTS and my dad has a CTS-V. Both cars have been nothing but trouble. The CTS-V only has 40k on it and he just had to replace a broken valve spring, and he does not rod on the car. Also, the rear seals started leaking a couple months ago. When my moms car is stopped at a stop light the whole car shakes because of rough idle.

2bfast Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) You'll hate your life when something breaks......$$$ When I first got the SS about two years ago, I bought a 96 Blazer 4x4 with 200k+ on it for $2,000 and it drove like a dream.

detjoe Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 high mile caddy's are going to cost you. they are really nice new but once they get miled up, there is no simple repair. the crown vic platform has been around for ever...its just do you want to be seen driving ms daisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitches040 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Get a Crown Victoria Ex-Police Cruiser .... OEM and Aftermarket parts are CHEAP and there are a Million of them on the road. Plus on perk, everyone gets the hell ot of your way on the highway!!!! LOL ... I bought a 1998 P71 Police Interceptor 6.5 years ago for $3800.00, with 106K miles. It now has just shy of 170K miles, it gets 21 mpg on the highway for 4.6L V8. Real comfortable ride. I have been averaging only about $300 - $400 per year in repairs. Did a Front break job with Refurbished calipers, ceramic pads and Slotted/Drilled rotors for about $190.00. This is my .02 cents ... Good luck in your vehicle choice. Here's a pic of my Ghetto Hoopie ... Black with Chrome, all tinted out ... and Yes, it does have blue lights on the back dash ...

SSmoothSilSS Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I would go with the 1996 Impala SS or Caprice it gets the same gas mileage, you can pick one up for the same price or less, and it reliable as long as you take care of it.

SSplaytoy Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Older cars will always give you problems so you have to be very careful on which one you purchase. Shop wisely and I hope you have good luck and don't pick a lemon. Cheapest reliable ride imo.......get a Huffy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
