What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Cadillac Seville
"Might last forever!!"
"I have owned this '96 STS for 10 years...only thing to really report is the ride is quite stout if you are't used to a real sports suspension....at 339,000 on the original engine and transmission and runs better than new...no major work done only the usual replacements. I have put on all but 1st 70,000 miles....what a wonderful car it has been....the key is lots of TLC. Good luck to you and lots of carefree miles.THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED IN MY 37 YEARS OF DRIVING HANDS DOWN."
"My “Red Barchetta”"
"The events that lead to me getting this car are way to complicated to go into now but that isn’t important. By some miracle I have it and here are my experiences with it. I’m not a car person by any means but I can tell you this car is exactly what I want in one. First the sound system had to have been made for me, 12 DISC DC PLAYER that’s more than half the rush albums right there, the speakers are the best I’ve ever heard in a car (Neil Peart drum solos never sounded more epic). The seats are so freaking comfortable like it’s almost a bad thing because you could fall asleep in them if your not careful. And the car looks so cool, I can’t tell you how many times people have asked me about it or offered to buy from me, people will definitely stare especially if you got your music turned up really loud it’s really hilarious and I get a kick out of it. Also the car hauls man, if street racing was legal and like safe I’d totally race it or maybe go to a race track or something but man this car gets you from a to b like nothing else. Driving has never been this good. There really aren’t a whole lot of downsides to it except it’s hard to find them in good condition, I was lucky to get one that was in perfect condition so if you find one in good shape and at a good price go for it."
"Fabulous car, repairs are expensive"
"I wouldnt trust repairs to anyone but a Cad dealership, and the cost is outrageous. I bought this car from original owners who had babied it. 20 years old but like new with very low miles. I now have 68,000 miles on it and just love it. Dark red, light leather interior, meticulous. Its a head turner."
