My opinion having worked on all 3: Any used Northstar equipt Cadillac is a Timebomb long term (160,000 miles), especially in Wisconsin (rusty brake &amp; fuel lines,parts are expen$ive,ect) go find another Buick w/low mileage or get the Impala. I just sayin....

I guess that depends on how its taken care of.
I have an 04 Deville I get 26 mpg on the highway goes thru the snow like a tank. and no rust, but I spend $130 every Nov. and have it rust checked before the snow flys.

We have a hemi Chrysler 300 AWD. Its been a great car (125,000) miles now. We've had it 6 years now. No major problems, (knock on wood), even after the extended warranty expired. Lots of interior room, rides nicely, handles well, and is quiet inside (depending on tire brand). Used ones can be purchased really cheap now, gong by what the dealer offered us as trade in value (only $7,000). The rear wheel drive versions are less expensive and they handle and ride even better, and get better gas mileage by around 3 mpg. We get 22mph highway and 17 around town with the AWD and hemi. The hemis have the variable displacement engine which switches from 8 to 4 cylinders when your lead-footed wife isn't at the helm. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
