Jerry... after thinking it over...my concerns would be maintenance costs, parts, etc.
So..as beautiful and tempting as this Deville looked, I decided against buying it.
thanks for your input.....

Incidentally....my 2002 300M rides like a dream and altho I have had to replace the Air Conditioning Compressor and front sway bars along with the shifter cable..the car has given me 64,000 miles of care-free driving. It gets about 21 mpg around town and I have gotten as much as 28 mpg highway.

How did you know the sway bars needed replacing?

common problem with that series of 300Ms....CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK...over every little bump in the road..I have a friend who has almost 20 years as a mechanic for a Chrysler dealer and he told me that.......about $300-350 to replace.

I am buyying a 2002 Cadillac DeVille DTS next week. Its a one owner car and it has 67,000 miles on it.
I am not at all worried, because this will be my 4th time buying a used Cadillac and they have always treated me well
 
The car I am now driving is a 1989 Cadillac DeVille 4 door and has only 86,000 orig. miles on it. I have owned it for 14 years and the only big expense I have had with it is 2 years ago my A/C went out.
 
I would own nothing but a Cadillac...
I think you should have take the deal edman, even if you kept the car you have presently.
