"I bought a 2000 STS Seville the most beautiful thing I ever laid my eyes on 27% tint black leather inside wood grain accents black outside it was love at first sight I turned it on there was a terrible shake but I ignored it drove it and it was powerful shaky still though but I had to have it I had it maybe two months when the overheating began everyone said headgaskets but I refused to believe that paid the chevy dealer to put it on a machine he said its the water pump I replaced cost me 400 overheating still I put so much money into the car I took it back to the dealer and said I can't pay for what I can't drive they took it back and I had to put more money down and now I'm driving a 2000 buick lesabre with 50k more miles on it and it drives like a dream no issues so far but my lac will always have a special place in my heart"

What a Underrated Vehicle

By White Night (NC) on Wednesday, November 07, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 137,400

Pros: "Great car to drive,good gas mileage,great style"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have had a lot of cars over the years from Lexus GS300,Lexus LS400,Cadillac Fleetwoods,Impala SS's,Honda's you name it I have more than likely had it. Now as for this 2002 Cadillac Seville STS this has to be the most Under Rated Luxury Sports Car I have ever had. This car has 300hp,loaded with options,Mangna Ride suspension which is only avalible on the upper high end of sports cars like Corvettes,Ferriries and so on. The first time I drove this car I had the biggest grin on my face that I have not had in years.I have not found a car on the market that has this power,these options with leather,power sunroof,heated seats and so on for this kind of money. I bought this 2002 STS with 130000 miles for $2800. The body is mint,the interior is almost perfect. I did have to spend a few hundred dollars to repair the ABS/Traction control,a front wheel bearing and the normal manitence.This car will flat out stroll and the Magnetic Ride control is the best thing I have ever riden in. This car will carve the best Mountain roads (which I have done) and still give you a Cadillac ride. I have read a lot of threads about these cars and I feel for the money it is one of the most outstanding values on a vehicle out there. Like always try to find a car with a repair history and one that has been taken care of"

Love the car

By Rick716 (GA) on Thursday, September 20, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 175,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I bought this car used as a program car when it had 27,000 miles on it. I have loved it. With 175,000 miles, it still has no squeaks and rides firm and great. Replaced the starter and battery. Love the touch screen for the radio stations and the CD navigation. Since it was was ahead of the navigation trend, it has a CD nav system, so I only have the CD for the NE part of the US, and haven't been able to find one for the SE. But it works great. I would definately buy another used or new Cadillac. Has been a very solid car. The Northstar engine is great. Love the heated front and rear seats."
