What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Cadillac DeVille

"Very Nice Road Car"

"I've had this car for 5 years and has been nothing but a joy. Mine has 137,000 miles and just agve it a tune up. It runs and drives great. Highly recomended"

"A Real Cadillac!!!"

"I've had my 98 Deville since April 2005. It was a low mileage (58K) little old lady owned car. I'd never owned a Caddy. This is a REAL Cadillac!! It's quiet as a ghost, rides like a cloud, gets over 25 mpg on the highway, and does it at 75 mph. I've put 45,000 miles on mine, and nothing has gone wrong. No oil use between changes. The Northstar engine makes this car absolutely fly low. Someday, my Caddy will wear out. The paint is still perfect, the seats are holding up the best, but still, everything wears out. When it does, I'm getting another one. The last one they made of this style, complete with tail fins, was 1999. I like it better than the 2000-2006 style Cadillacs. These cars cost over 40,000 dollars ten years ago. You can buy an excellent condition example for a fraction of that, now, but you can't buy mine. It's not for sale."

"Fine Quality & Luxury"

"Purchased the car one year ago with 62K miles, now have 75K+ on it. Great gas mileage @ average 22mpg. Excellent power from the Northstar engine, no mechanical problems. This is my third Cadillac and by far the best. Plenty of room, installed XM radio, can safely and comfortably transport my family of three children around. Love the heated seats, climate control and other standard features of this car. The ride is superb... if you can find one with low mileage and in good condition...buy it."
