You're right as far as shuddering when one finds out what their Catera is now worth. Catera values plummeted when the CTS came out. However, I don't know how old you are but I can assure you that even if you were living when the Titanic sunk, your Catera is going to die long before you do. If you had a place to store it though, after it's death, it would make a great casket. That's where most of them belong anyway - six feet under... Good luck.

Replying to: merckx (Jun 16, 2006 5:48 pm) Your right, I was afraid to ask, even with 5 lights on the car, they are: tcs, abs, check engine, brake, water coolant light. I paid 17K for it and actually paid it off by refinancing, fitzgerald is giving me 3100, so you know, thats not too bad, I will take it.

As for "it's like I'm having a wrong key" - Cateras are real bad about this. If you have the slightest bit of pressure on the steering wheel - it will lock the ignition and the correct key won't turn it. What you should do is try to move the steering wheel either clockwise or counter clockwise. One direction or the other it will move just alittle bit. Hold it in the direction that it will move and see if the key doesn't work okay then. Good luck. Replies to this message: uelizino (Jun 23, 2006 9:18 pm)

#191 of 1216 2000 catera coolant leak by mark1961 Jul 03, 2006 (5:35 am)
I have a 2000 catera with 48K on it, I bought it new. Its out of warranty now. There is a coolant leak somewhere towards the top back of the engine, but I cany seem to find it. I noticed that the coolant leaks on to the tranmission cooling lines befor hitting the pavement. Could anyone tell me what might be the problem that could leak from the back of the engine. There seems to be very little room to work back there, let alone see where the leak might me comming from.
