My 98 eldo has been a nightmare. Now, the blower motor works when it wants to. Dealer says over $1500 to replace the blower and the computer that runs it. Computer has to come from dealer because its tied to the chip in the key. WTF. I'm gonna run a wire from the battery to a toggle switch I duct tape to the dash and on to the blower motor (been watching too much Red Green show). Cruise control comes and goes. One electronic nightmare after another.

I got a 96 STS, love it. It runs strong.
I agree, buy Cadis used because they depreciate quickly and the Certified Used Program provides an extended warrantee to 100,000. My plan only went to 70,000 but it was basically bumper-bumper with a loaner car from the dealer.

I just love Caddies, probably because I make good money fixing the electrical failures they all seem to suffer from
Other than the known engine problems, I can tell you that the SRS electronic suspension system is prone to shock failure at $700 a shock Canadian and 50% of the shock fails take the SRS module with them at 750 a shot. The body control module which controls everything from power windows to reverse lights are failure prone as well. We replace a lot of a/c evaporater cores and compressors on Caddies too YEP, I lOVE CADDIES

now heres one
my old STS , I cried when I sold it, would not run worth a hoot on cold days. Typical Florida Car. warm or hot weather it ran fantastic and I put 145 K on it. Suspension went several times, it must have been the Railway tracks in Georgia I hit at 85 mph one night. Still a great car
