Replying to: paulthebaker (Oct 14, 2007 11:56 am) My old Deville the plugs and wires lasted exactly 100,000 miles. Once I got about 100,100 miles it started to studder on the highway, and what do you know? One of the plugs were cracked. Now getting reliable information on what is wrong or what is going to go wrong with your Cadillac is good to get at the dealership. But actually getting it done there depends on how fat your wallet is. They wanted 600 bucks to change the plugs and wires so I went out and spent 120 on the proper plugs and wires and did it myself and it only took about 45 minutes. The same thing with my brakes. I ended up doing them myself and saving a fortune. But there were other things that needed to be done here and there that I was not able to do that they were pretty reasonable with the price. So you never know. But anyway, I am on my 2nd Deville and I love them. I will never drive anything else but a Deville. I got my 1st one, which was a 1998, when it was 2 years old with 44k miles on it and I got 120k out of it. I just babied the thing and kept up with the general mainenance of it and never had any real problems, until the end. And that was when it had 160k + miles on it. Now my 2nd new used Deville is a 2002. I got it when it had 49k miles on it from a Cadi dealer. It to was bought new there and then traded in. I have only had it for 4 about months but it has been running smooth and looks real sharp so I am a happy guy. Well anyway, good luck with your Deville. I hope I have been somewhat usefull. And as far as keys go I am pretty sure you dont have the little chip piece in your key so I think you can get your key made at pretty much anyplace that makes keys. But I am not entirely sure on that. and I have been crusin around in style ever since. I am a happy man. And ye |

| We just traded in our 2005 Deville and reinstalled the stock aluminum machined rims that came with the car prior to trading it in. We kept the oem style (might be oem) chrome rims that fit the 2003, 2004 and 2005 Devilles. They are in good shape and come with four of the plastic chrome centers with gold trim wreaths (the gold plating is coming off of the wreathes and the plastic is cracked on a couple of the centers, but they still work and can be replaced through ebay or a dealer). We bought these new from ebay and they were on a vehicle for about maybe thirty thousand miles or so or two and a half years approx. First on a 2004 and then on the 2005. If anyone near Indiana is interested in them I will send pics. Thanks I hope it is okay to post this here. | |

I bought a 2001 Cadillac Deville in 2003. It was certified pre-owned. I have had problems with the car from day 1. I thought that not only did certified, but also the expensive price and luxury meant that I was purchasing a good car. The more that I hear, the more it seems that Cadillac is a problem car. Now that my warranty is out, I am really spending big bucks on repairs. I have 98,000 miles. What is in store for me? Should I be trying to trade it in before the engine blows? What is the average life of a Cadillac? I thought that they were good for 10-15 years or more. Please help!

Replying to: baddealcad (Dec 01, 2007 9:28 am) One thing to keep a close eye on is the coolant level. If the coolant level is dropping then there is a leak that needs fixed. Failure to fix it can doom the engine. Otherwise, the engine should last indefinitly. The transmission should last too, but may need some control devices replaced. How long the car lasts will depend on how it was cared for by you and the previous owner. The first owner may have done some damage which is only now beginning to need repair.
