After some thinking I decided to sell my maxima. The first person that came to look at it picked her up. There wasn't really a specific reason for the sale since everything was in great condition mechanicaly. It simply felt like a geo metro to me after I drove my new toy. Oh well, I guess I just wanted something different for a change since I've been driving nothing but 3rd gen for the last 7 years. I would like to thank all of you for all the help through out the years. I know I'll be back sooner or later And now the new toy....

mint condition without a single issue except for a couple of broken plastics and missing ornaments which will be replaced soon

 

What a huge change! Congrats

 

you need DUBS now N***A!, clean ride dude. keep it clean!

 

hehe-no dubs for me. i honestly think that the original wire hubcaps look best on this car. Also, there will no tinting of any sort. The color of the factory windows looks just perfect. I am glad you like it...here is a pic I took a few minutes ago(I hope it's not too dark)

 

WOW




as long as ur happy!!!!!!

 

Enloy you're 10-12 miles per gallon..

 

I think I saw that car in the Movie " Escape From New York", when the Government sent in " Snake Plisken", to rescue the President when NY was a huge prison!!!

 

Your not ever allowed to complain about gas prices again.

What is under the hood of that monster?

 

Glad you're happy..just dont tip it over and careful spinning out in the rain or snow

 

wow

I don't know what to say about that one.

Unless you are very large (and need the room), I don't see how that is much of an upgrade.

good luck, though

 

Old guys with no wives come in to the shop I work at with these, complaining about broken wiper motors and regulators.. Then again, I may be mistakin since they all look the same

Sweet ride

 

I used to drive boats like that.
Then I decided I like to turn....

 

I used to have a 1989 Caprice Classic station wagon (63k miles) with an olds engine in it...man that car was solid until tranny went bad, then it we got it fixed and later on got rammed when it was parked

 

hahaha lmao

 

i got a 84 coupe deville they are good solid cars.....i hope you atleast have the 307 olds the 4100's blow or if your really lucky it has a 350 but the 350's are rare...congrats on the new car...

 

NO CAR in 84 got a 350 gas motor from GM.
more than likely its got the 307 guzzler.

 

the car has the 307. Everything works perfect on it inluding the self level suspension plus there isn't a spot of rust. I m getting 17mpg mixed driving right now but I know that the car needs a major tuning because the air filter is probably 5+ years old and it simply seems like the hood hasn't been opened for a while. It is true that I'll be getting a little less mpgs compared to the maxima but in my opinion it's insignificant. In perfect tune the car should get 24mpg highway which is 2 less than my ex 92 ve. What this caddy has though is perfect body,smooth ride and waaaaaaay more style than the maxima will ever have. People talk to me at gas station and "peace" me while I drive. Last but not least an O2 sensor costs $13,knock sensor is at $19, distributer and cap are $20, trannies are $75+ and readily available. I know that it's very different compared to the maxima but so far I couldn't be farther away from having a buyer's remorse(sp?).

 

Personally I hate the way caddys and lincons ride. Your so separated from the road you fell like your riding on ocean. Then again I hate leather seats and drive at a decent speed around corners.

Dude I don't even know what car that is...most of those domestics from then just blend in together....

~Alex

 

you sold your max for that?

 

is in metal gear solid 2... BTW

 

I can see how someone could prefer driving such a vehicle. My first car was an 84 Olds Ninety-Eight Regency, which I loved until the motor exploded. Very comfortable car with not great but livable power output (I thought it had a 305, but maybe it had the 307?). All of my friends loved riding in that car and I felt so cool driving around in it. Definitely something you need to experience to really appreciate. Congratulations to you. Hope it treats you right.

 

Pff thats your opinion..the caddy is nothing but a box to me with lots of luxury..but iono bout style.. oh well, what ever makes you happy and tickles your fancy...GRANPA! Muahahahahaha!!

 

Congratulations on what seems to be an impeccable, unique and rare condition Caddy. Oftentimes it's good to deviate from the "crowd" and youve finally done that after 7 years. Amen to the clacking VTC's, window regulators and the list goes on.

Best of luck and ensure it doesnt get "banged "up.

 

Pop a feather in that hat, Pimpin!!!
They don't call it "Cadillac Pimpin" fo' nuthin!!!

I can see rollin in one of those...driving a Century for the winter and it's way more comfortable than the Max on these rough roads, but forget about any performance driving. I could drive luxury everyday, but I'd need a yin to my yang when the speed freak in me wants out!

How 'bout some more info: how many miles, what year is it, history of the car, cool options, etc???

 

Looks like a really clean car. +1 for more info

 

well, it's a 89 Brougham with 122k(as it turned out). The car is mint in everyway except for a few broken plastics outside and missing ornaments(everything already ordered). The pics that posted do not do the car justice at all. This weekend there will be a major tune up-new plugs,wires,rotor,cap,O2 sensor, knock sensor, pcv valve, oil+filter,fuel filter, grease everything under the car, tranny oil and filter and a few other small items. All this will cost me less than $150 in parts and will probably take all day. What is really nice about this is that the car will be truelly perfect after this wekend-body,interior,mechanically. With all my maximas, I kept sticking in a lot of money and at the end, they never looked good enough enough...oh well.

 

Best thing about a GM is that almost every mechanical part including the control head for the A/C is available NEW through Delco.
That's part of the reason I bought my wife a Montana versus any other van

 

Man talk about a change of pace

 

my first ($200)and second cars were 77' cadillacs sedan devilles with 425ci v-8 10-13 mpg i shoulda hot rodded it a little
monster garage did one like yours into a drag car i think

 

My Grandfather drove one of those Caddy's for at least 20 Yrs., if not more, he used to say, "They don't make them like this anymore." & I would say " That's for sure." LOL good luck with your ride......Pimpin ain't easy!!!

 

Kind of a weird swap there bud, I guess the interior is kinda cool but..hmmm

 

My friend has one much like that. I actually enjoyed driving it for just cruising around town. I wouldn't give up my cars for one, but I definitely wouldn't complain having one to just drive around.

They're definitely boats but damn, it rode very nice.

 

Ya gotta look at the +'s- If ya ever go homeless, you can always live outta that big car+ That car is a rollin "Love Shack on Wheels", lots of room for Babes!!!

 

You must be joking. My VE 5spd outperforms that lead sled in every measurable way.

 

Maybe the boat will float

 

I didn't mean performance but noise and rattles

 

haha, so you people call them boats eh? i don't think i've been in north america long enough to know about them. like some other dude said, it sure would be nice to be able to move into one of these when you go homeless..

float to a nice spot in the mountains and start rocking it with your girl. most of the time you're IN the car you won't see the boxy exterior anyway, not that the 3rd gen is very curvy...

maybe i should pretend i wanna buy one of those and test drive one.

 

Now that I would believe. With my suspension work and low profile tires, there is definitely noise and rattles.

 

What is that black square on the fender by the bumper? And is there supposed to be a hood ornament? It's mod time, baby~! I wanna see it next week with a stillen kit.....


***edit*** nm...I saw that you said you ordered the ornament. But what is that black square section?
