  Money pit - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By sweymer - October 11 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car used in 2007 and I really loved it until while I was driving the car would shut off. It was so quiet that you didnt know until you went to make a turn and the wheel would be locked. That cost a lot. It was a sensor. They dont tell you how expensive the parts are. The car will run great and I love how I can pick up and move on the road. I dont like that every other week I have this car in the shop and people are ripping me off on parts.

  Hmph - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By Warning - March 3 - 3:41 pm

  if you buy one of these out of warranty youre gonna wanna put about $4,000 in a safe for that rainy day when your head gaskets or cylinder heads fail you. Youre also going to want to set aside $150 semiannually for replacement of the front door Bose subwoofers. And youre going to want to put aside $70 weekly for gas because the car breathes it in. Youre going to wonder why your engine shuts off at a stoplight the day after a rainy day. Youre going to want to put your hazards on so the hasty driver behind you wont beep their horn when the light turns green after yours shuts off. Youre going to want to change that dexcool annually, forget what the manual says. Three years later youre going to wonder why you bought it.

  Looks great, reliability nonexistent - 2000 Cadillac Seville
  By Linda - March 17 - 9:50 am

  The STS is beautiful to look at, comfortable to drive, and you couldnt ask for more speed. However, the handling leaves a lot to be desired - Ive driven trucks that corner better. But, the worst feature of the car is its absolute lack of reliability. The car is in for service several times each year. Some items have been repaired multiple times. The problems are both mechanical and electrical.
