My First Ever Caddy
I've had more cars -- and trucks -- than I care to count and turned a wrench on all but one of them. My introduction to shade trees and wrenches came at a very early age.
I've had a few Fords -- not to disparage Fords, but I never had luck with them. They didn't like me -- but those cars never lasted. i.e. The engine blew three freeze plugs in an old Ford Wagon with a big block engine. In the time it took to stop the car at highway speeds, the engine seized.
I've worked on many a Caddy and generally swore that, while I'd always buy GM, I'd never buy a Caddy. The early -- read 1960's to 1970's -- electrical and eventually electronic headaches were more than I wanted. Yet I've had Oldsmobiles. Yeah, I know, Caddies in another guise.
So, of course I finally need a car, don' have a lot of cash and here's a 1993 Sedan Deville that runs nice, has almost no problems and blemishes with the interior and has a bit of get up and go....
Sigh.... I own a Caddy. Well, what can I say? Hope it proves to be like my other GM products. For 178K plus, it sounds nice. Now if I can find someone to do a good scuff and shoot for a reasonable price.

Fleetwood Broughan with 365,500 miles
My mother-in-law bought new in 1996 and I am now the third owner of this car. The mileage rolled to 365,000 December 28, 2016. Car has some cosmetic damage where a deer tried to jump over it and then there is an occasional vibration when you try to accelerate in a pull, but other than that. It is a car my husband can work on and she rides like a dream. Going to start repairing the cosmetic damage this year. You can't go wrong with a caddi.
