I just love the body style and ride and sound system but it can be a bit fragile if not maintained. If you guard against running hot the Northstar will go awhile.Oct 09, 2020

I like the fact that it's 16 years old but looks like 5, I also like the fact that she averages 21 MPG. I don't like the electrical issues I keep having. She has great acceleration, but huge turning radius.May 20, 2015

I have owned Cadillacs since 1964 and will probably die driving one to someone elses funeral. I don't think there is a better bargain on the market than a five year old Caddy with 50,000 miles on it. Obviously, there are going to be lots of people who think I am a jerk for buying what they think is a "gas-guzzler" but the up front cost of a really nice used Caddy is hard to balance against a new hybrid for overall life-cost economy. My guess is that I pay less per mile and ride in luxury and safety.Jan 22, 2014

The reason they are so cheap is they have a design flaw.
The flaw is that the head gaskets leak, you cannot replace them as the studs that hold the head together warp if you remove the head, so there is literally nothing you can do other than replace the motor. This is an issue on ALL NORTHSTAR engines.. Google Northstar overheating before you buy one..
I had purchased this with 67k miles to use as a car in which i worked out of. I paid 4k for it. (2008) the Northstar is powerful, smooth, quiet, and when you are cruising along, no traffic a nice place to be.. But in any traffic they have a terrible cooling system and will overheat. the fans kick on too late to cool the motor, which causes the head gaskets to leak.
I attempted to fix this by using a triple core aluminum dragster radiator, and two 15K CFM fans, hooked to a toggle switch, but the thermostat does not recycle the fluid until the computer kicks the thermostat to do so, and you still overheat.
Aside from the motor, it has the typical GM electrical issues..
Typical issues with power windows not working..
The alarm due to the key, is a piece of software in the stock radio, you cannot remote it without causing it to always go off.. Annoyance, i cut the lead wires to fix that.. It still would click, but it didn't effect anything.
Anyway..
Got stuck in traffic on the cross bronx expressway in NY.
Car overheated..
Caught fire
Went back later that night after the FDNY put it out.. replaced the plug wires, and lower as well as upper coolant hoses.. started back up. Traded for cash for clunkers.Dec 20, 2013

not every mechanic works on Northstar engine. the gas pump can be intimidating when on a budget. can get you there 75mph with little gas consumption and a pleasure to drive or ride. Has that Cadillac look of elegance that always turns heads. It is a Cadillac in every sense.May 09, 2012

Purchasing what used to be a $40,000 + hign end luxury car for a mere $4,000 was one of the best deals I ever got. If you stay away from Caddillacs that have engine issues (overheating is the main one) then the rest of the car is pretty easy to maintain. With average gas mileage of 21 - 24 mpg typical, the car is not a 'guzzler'. It is not the most fuel efficient BUT the tradeoff if luxury and performance is worth it to most. I got tired of wedging myself into econobox cars with tinny stereos and room for 3.5 people. You can host a party in these classic Caddys and the back seat was made for a threesome *wink*
If you've never driven one or don't think you can afford one, look around and try one out. You'll be pleasantly surprised. I've driven several for the past 6 years, trading up as I go. I started with a '95 model for $2,000, went to a '99 base model for $3,000 and now I'm in a '99 Concours trim version for $4,000 with a KBB of about $8,000. I would own a fleet of them if I could.Nov 23, 2011

I love the way this car performance, build quality and appearance. It's a little expensive to drive because it's a v-8 but I can usually get about 20-25 mpg. It is incredibly fun to drive, if you like big old man cars, which I do! But I also only paid $1600 for this car, which is an amazing deal. Apr 27, 2010

This is quite possibly the best car I've
ever owned. It is amazingly quick. I was
merging to I-80 the other day and not
paying attention and I hit 87 without
trying. I have not had to repair anything
yet. Its only got 70xxx on it and was
previously owned by a 92 year old lady.
:) Great looking car. Gets good gas
mileage, much better than my Tahoe
anyways. The only problems I have with
it. Why does it not have heated seats?
What Cadillac doesn't have heated seats?
I mean seriously. And the sound system,
not impressive for a luxury car. Doesn't
even have a CD player. Ridiculous, it
makes me feel ancient since it only has a
tape player. But overall, I love getting
into it in the morning and commuting to
school and work. Great car, very happy
with my purchase. I've seen 30mpg average
at times. Dec 17, 2009

It's a good looking car, heated seats and a leather interior. It runs alright, gets you from point a to point b.It needs some interior work done. Just installed a new stereo and new tires.
Is a nice car to drive around in.

Its got a lot of room and a lot of power, and not just power seats either. This thing has balls! It won't catch a mustang, but for a two ton luxosaur its pretty impressive. Accelaration at highway speed it instantaneous and the ride is butter smooth. You can also fit like 8 bodies in the trunk if need be. The only thing to watch with the Caddies is repair costs...they'll getcha! However, right now these aare a real bargain, $3000 will put you ina nice one.Oct 08, 2008

UNUSUAL ANTIFREEZE LEAK
1999 CADILLAC DEVILLE - UNUSUAL ANTIFREEZE LEAK The car does not overheat. The vehicle leaks antifreeze near the rear of the engine on the driver's side. A new water pump was installed which the mechanic thought would solve the problem because a slightly leaking water pump gasket. The leak does not occur until the vehicle has cooled down about forty-five to sixty minutes later. I go outside to look under the car and the leak is there on the cardboard which I replace regularly after driving. The leak saturates the card and leaks onto the concrete. I normally must put one to two twelve ounces water bottles of antifreeze back in the antifreeze reservoir after the leak appears. There are no leaks once I replaced the antifreeze. The car does not overheat. A pressure test was conducted by the garage - twice. The mechanics are baffle. The engine temperature normally gets to about 213 degrees while driving around in the FT. Stewart, Ga area of 90 degrees running errands. There are no leaks when I stop at this store or that store to make purchases. I have been out as long as an hour at a time the last three weeks. The car drives beautifully. This car is well maintained. Can anyone help me or steer me in the right directions? NOTE: How do I remove antifreeze stains from my driveway?
