  1996 Deville Issues - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By newportbill - September 13 - 9:14 pm

  Inherited this vehicle from my in-laws and have spent the last few months getting in working order. Oil leaks that are cost-prohibitive to repair along with occasional over-heating (despite flushing of cooling system). Also, only about 10-12 MPG in city despite several fuel system treatments. Finally, electronic fuel display that jumps up and down several gallons within minutes.

  1996 base - Great car - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By don2037 - January 26 - 9:53 am

  Great car, creme color, which is interesting, depending on lighting situation can appear white with tinge of pink, egg-shell, or light tan. Beautiful car, although the front end could have been a little designed more distinctive, kind of reminds me of a chevy with a cadillac emblem. lol. Runs great, good acceleration and breaking, I like cluster guages, right in front of your eyes, no looking all over dash for emergency lignts, wonderful seating, posh Theres just something about a cadillac, its hard to verbalize, but you know when you are in one, that special feeling you get, especially with these older models. Very easy to drive and park. Maintence is expensive.

  good but not great - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By boweezy57 - August 5 - 8:22 pm

  has good power but driving mostly around suburban area I get around 12-13 mpg. I have 140k miles on it and have a traction control light on for no reason. Also, service transmission because of a bad sensor and its not worth the money to fix because the transmission would have to be dropped out. Otherwise, I love the car.

  Major Repair Experience - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By Jim - August 29 - 3:38 pm

  I bought with about 58k miles. Very good ride and fuel mileage strong and plenty of power. Seemed the perfect car until 68k miles. Between 68k miles and 72k miles replaced transmission, air struts, and fuel injection pump. I rated down the reliability due to the mechanical failures, but now repaired, I am back to trusting its dependability. The problems were caught before breaking down on the road. Transmission metal and seal fragments were found on filter and oil change struts were flat and wearing rear tires severely and unevenly, and fuel injection was causing erratic and surging RPM, and a couple stalls.

  Very satisfying, but not without issues. - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By Darkness - January 28 - 6:56 am

  I purchased this vehicle with 26,600 miles in September 20009. Previous car was a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant. My particular example has had some issues. Two weeks after purchase, engine started misfiring but only at under 5 MPH. Replaced plugs, wires, etc. didnt fix it. At this point Ive gotten used to it and dont want to put more money into it. Keyless entry stopped working for no reason. The car gets poor fuel economy (probably related to the misfire), around 10 in the city and 19 on the highway. Still, this is a very satisfying car to drive. Plenty of power and space for 5 adults (front center position is a squeeze). Trunk is immense.

  Reliability, Power & Good Mileage - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By Rick W. - November 16 - 3:48 pm

  This is our 3rd Caddy. Purchased this one 9 years ago when it had 26k on it. Now has 64k. (we have 3 other vehicles) No major problems at all. As with the other reviews, excellent power, can easily get 26-27 MPG. When its cleaned and waxed it still turns heads!

  Awesome Ride - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By Lee - July 30 - 11:30 am

  Purchased the car with less than 10k on it and have put nearly 75k on it since then. The comfort and power are exceptional, as is the gas mileage. At nearly 24-28mpg, there is not another comparable vehicle even made today. No outrageous problems or issues with anything. It still turns heads and blows doors off of "wannabees". Absolutely Awesome Ride. Hope to keep it another 10 years!

  Better have deep pockets or skills - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By StillRidinClean - June 23 - 5:59 pm

  Bought my first and highly sought after Caddy. Almost half below market value but with an AC problem. $120 got me a small part and fill, AC works fine. Love to drive this beauty around and have fallen in love with the Northstar. Ive also won me a fair share of races, lol. But problems started occuring. Engine overheating (Was lucky enough to have friend fix), Serpentine belt (lost control of steering) $80, and just the other day the car wouldnt start despite a full charged battery. Did I mention the car is now accelerating funny, transmission? So, If you are skilled enough to do your own work you are going to love this car. If youre going to considering buying, be sure to check history.

  The Cadillac Deville - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By Caddy man - June 16 - 1:08 am

  When I purchased this vehicle, I expected only the best, considering it was a Cadillac, and I had heard nothing but good about the brand. I was not disappointed. Other than regular maintenance, I have had absolutely no trouble with my Cadillac, and I just love it. The Deville runs clean, very quiet, and smooth. It will start rigth up, even in -15F weather! The Northstar is fabulous. The responsive and agressive acceleration can likely blow the doors off of anything on the road. Gas mileage is exceptional for a car this size. The interior is superb. There is legroom abound inside the Deville. In all, the Deville is an excellent car all-around. I wouldnt trade it for anything else.

  Still love mine - 1996 Cadillac Deville
  By David Hord - May 5 - 1:18 pm

  I bought my Caddie in 2001 with 34000 miles on it. I know have 16000 and hope to make it to 250000. I still love this car. My occasional repairs have been expensive, but worth the investment. I hope to luck into another one in a few years.
