caddyfan16 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks for your help. I'm looking at 86-88 DeVilles. Any recommendations or concerns about these models? I'm finding a lot of nice 87's - not as many 86 or 88 models. The same is true for the Eldorado in these years. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 The 1988 is the first year for the 4.5 liter V8, which is a better design than the 4.1, as well as being 10% larger. The 1987-1988 have better suspensions, with electronically controlled shocks and ABS, and will drive and ride better than the 1986. But the best measure of desirability of a car that old is condition. Get a CarFAX by VIN and have the car looked at by a reputable mechanic, or a service that specifically evaluates used cars for prospective buyers; cost is typically $125 for that service. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.
