What Owners are Saying About the 1999 Cadillac Seville
"My 3rd great new Cadillac!"
"The car is one owner, garage kept, very few blemishes, washed and waxed often. The car is cashmere exterior color , neutral leather interior and is 99% maintained by the dealership I purchased it from. the auto has always had premium tires. This car is my 3rd new Cadillac in 26 years and each has been a great auto. This car is a reliable great touring auto. It does not have any window or sun roof leaks and no "floor" leaks. It does use a quart of oil every 500 to 1000 miles but no smoke or obvious leak on ground when parked."
"very nice!"
"This car looks great, and if it's in good condition, will drive even better. There is only one thing about this car that I don't particularly care for. It can get quite expensive to pay for the repairs to the sensors and mechanical problems you may have. Keep it in good condition and you'll love this car as much as I do"
"Geat Value"
"I bought a 1998 STS in 2003 everyday driver with over 160k miles and she still rides like a dream and runs strong. Had to recently replace the ignition switch replaced battery twice and coolant tank the plastic cracked, normal maintenance recommend synthetic oil. no other problems. If had to do over would again go with the STS 98 -03 models."
