Northstar Engine is a xxx
I bought a new 99 Deville, great car, plenty of power, great gas mileage 30+mpg on freeway, rode and handled wonderfully. xxxx started at 85,000 miles when transmission failed and had to be rebuilt. Next the water pumped had to be replaced at about 100K miles, then the electronic dash went out, the catalytic converter failed and at 125,000 miles the head gasket blew. The NorthStar engine is a xxx ... stay away, wish I had.

I am heart broken 💔
As a child I dreamed of this car. I wanted one for years because of how it looked and with modifications like rims and speaker space in the trunk, it looked even greater. I finally got this car for $2,800/80k miles. It drove so smooth!. The heartache started when I had to replace so many parts. The heater core is made of plastic and it broke on me one time when I was driving causing 280° coolant to go thru the firewall located on the gas pedal, burning my foot. I had to go to the hospital and took me 2 months to recover. I fixed the heater core. It took me 8 hours to replace because of how complex the engine layout is. After that discrepancy, more cooling problems occured. I changed the radiator 3x, fans 2x, alternator, coolant reservoir, battery. The oil burns too fast on this car. Finally, at 92k miles, my car started over heating worst due to the head gasket being cracked. I gave up on my beautiful Cadillac because of the headache and heartache I had with it. Tried selling it for $1000 but no one wants to give me the money. I have only been offered $500 for it. Such a beautiful classic car, but I only recommend the car for it's beauty. Other than that, this car is only good for looks and it's aesthetic look.

The Detroit Lean
This has been a GREAT car. I'll miss it.This only reason I'm selling it is, I don't have a need for it any longer. It's got some extras included. Full size spare, car cover, Draw-tite hitch.
