jameslwalker Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 I bought my last new car in 1974 - a Chevy Monte Carlo. It was a good family car. Now own a 1999 Deville bought as GM certified vehicle with 32,000 miles, with a warrantee for 6 years (from original service date) or 100,000 miles, wcf. Now has 74,000 mostly road miles. Repairs - something with electronics, cost about 800, and leak fixed for 2000 (they had to remove engine and tranny). Both at no cost to me. Good mileage on hiway, about 24-25 mpg, but 15-17 in town driving. Now needs brakes, as no brake work done in 40k+ miles. Anybody know of pitfalls down the road?

scottshoe Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 3rd owner. Two previous were "seasoned" Florida women. It's my 3rd car so a new one was out of the question! 1997 STS with 75,000 miles. I got it for next to nothing and it's near mint! Gotta love that really bad used car market pricing in Florida (I live in Michigan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphite-sts Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I bought my '01 STS at the end of this past April. I used to drive a '92 RoadMaster as a daily driver. I wanted something just as well optioned, as the RoadMaster, and something quick like my other car, a '71 Buick GS Stage 1. Well, of course it's not nearly as quick as the GS, but it gets over twice the milage, and doesn't rattle like an old convertible either. Twenty years ago, I had a '69 2 door Caddy Calis for a winter car a few years and loved it, but that's another story. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I bought my '93 Fleetwood Brougham brand new - I ordered it in February 1, 1993 and tool delivery on March 25, 1993. It had 15 miles on the odometer when I drove it off the lot....That was one of the best days of my life! It has been one of the best, if not the best cars I have ever owned. In 12 years, the only major repair item has been a starter motor. It gets stored during the winter so it has not been exposed to road salt and therefore looks like a new car. It always turns heads and I always get complements on my car - at the gas station, etc..

acklac7 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 4th owner of my 1995 Eldorado Biaritzz.....Here is a funny story...I ran a carfax report on it....and the original owner was like Tony Scallisio or something close to that, the car was registerd in the Bronx. Well a short time later (1997 I believe) the title changed hands and became property of the State of New York. It was then sold to a private individual, who traded it in on a new car....My guess is that "Tony" was a high roller in the mob, but eventually got nailed, and his car was siezed by the state....who then auctioned it off to the last owner. Everytime I work on the car I wonder if im going to find a .44 or a bag of you know what hidden in some odd area A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gygmy Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Always the second owner. The first was always an old lady, from Pasedena, which I could never understand since we live in CT and this is the third Caddy we have bought from that old bag.

adallak Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I thought I was the second owner, but recently checked out the CarFAX report and it appears there was a second owner for six months and 5.000 miles. It was actually good I did not know about that othrwise I would not buy my car I am pleased with pretty much!

schoney Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 I had a 82 firebird, sold it to buy my wifes wedding ring, then she always got the new car so i always drove the crappy car, we were finally in the position, were i could get a decent car started researching and everybody said do not buy a older caddie to much work, but i loved the style, finally i found one with everything i wanted, and went and test drove it (first time i ever drove a caddie 38yrs old) why it took me so long i will never know. it was a second owner, i will always have a caddie for now on, i love my car it is just to fun to drive.

BigCat83 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Only buy used. I always try to buy them as second owner with between 25,000 and 30,000 miles. The savings in upfront costs such as taxes and insurance are significant so... Last new car was a 1986 Buick POS, my '97 Eldo is my first GM since then (the Buick was THAT bad).

Still have it. Never drive it. Should sell it. 1993 Ford Taurus Bought with 7000 miles on it. traded it in on the 2002 at 175,000 1983 Mark Vl Kept it about 4 months. Sold it. It was not on a par with Cadillac. 1984 Fleetwood Brougham Bought with 4000 miles on it. Sold in 2001 with almost 200,000. 1985 El Dorado Conv. Pearl Red with white int and white top. Beautiful car. A guy offered me more than I had paid for it and I sold it. Should have kept it. 1985 Fleetwood Didn't like it. Sold it in about 2 months. 1980 Sedan deVille Bought new. Sold in 2001 with 250,000 on it. Best car I have ever owned. Very, very little EVER had to be done to it. Put gas in it and go. 20+ mpg all day 1981 Fleetwood Brougham V8-6-4 Bought with 10K on it. Sold a year later with 50K 1981 Seville Diesel. Bought with 5K on it. Put duals on it, had the injector pump turned up so it would run. Put almost 60,000 totally trouble free miles on it.

A 68 chevy pickup with the 390HP 427CID 'vette engine, a 74 Chevy pickup with a 454, a 78 Malibu 2 door with V8 and 4 speed etc etc etc but I have bored you enough.

WarrenJ Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 . . . AND spent WAY too much money on them. :D There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
