I am planning to buy a 2004 Seville from a local dealer.
The Carfax report shows a clena title and service records. The vehicle was titled in Florida as a lease and was sold at auction. It was purchased by an individual in North carolina and driven till trade at a Cadillac dealer in North Carolina. At reade, the odometer showed 28000.

Is there anything specific I should be concerend about as to relaiblity?

Thank you for your input.

two important items IMO...

1. any Florida car should be inspected for water damaged in view of all the hurricanes and floods
in the past 3 years.

2. additionally, although only 3 years old, it may be a good idea to inspect the coolant system to
assure that there has been no compromising of the coolant and system..

statistically, its probably all fine for that '04 Seville, specially at 28k miles.

once you get it, if you get it, change the coolant. it is its time for a fresh batch.
read our FAQ on dex-cool and headgaskets.

keep us posted ?

Thanks for that info.
I would change all fluids anyway. Tranny, Diff,coolant.

I'm going over to test drive it today.

Thanks again.
