2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE STS, LOADED WITH ALL AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR THIS MODEL YEAR...DVD NAVIGATION, 17" CHROME WHEELS, ONSTAR, REAR PARK SENSORS, CD CHANGER, XENON LIGHTS AND MORE!!! I WILL BE AS HONEST AND UPFRONT ABOUT THE CAR AS I CAN BE!!! JUST BOUGHT THIS STS LAST WEEK OVER THE INTERNET, SIGHT UNSEEN. HAD IT SHIPPED TO ME FROM UP NORTH. STARTED THE CAR UP AND THE TEMPERATURE BEGAN TO RISE. IMMEDIATELY I'M SCARED OF IT....SO HERE IT IS!!! STARTS RIGHT UP, DOES NOT MISFIRE AT ALL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR MALFUNCTION CODES PRESENT. NO WHITE SMOKE OUT THE BACK, AND NO MIXING OF OIL AND WATER, NO RESIDUE IN THE OIL CAP!!! WHAT I'M SAYING IS, THERE ARE NO "TELL TELL" SIGNS OF IT HAVING A BLOWN HEAD!!! I DID SOME RESEARCH AND EVEN ASKED A FEW MECHANICS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. EVERYONE SAYS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE THE WATER PUMP OR THERMOSTAT. WHEN A NORTHSTAR HAS A BLOWN HEAD, IT WILL NOT BEGIN TO HEAT UP UNLESS IT'S UNDER LOAD, GOING ABOVE 50 MPH. THIS CAR IS HEATING UP AT IDLE, WHICH IS UNCOMMON FOR THESE CARS. I DON'T CARE TO FIX WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS. AFTER DOING THE RESEARCH AND READING SOME OF THE HORROR STORIES, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THE CAR ANYMORE!! I ONLY DROVE IT A SHORT DISTANCE, BUT IT DOES RUN WELL BESIDES THE MAIN ISSUE I DESCRIBED ABOVE. ENGINE SOUNDS STRONG, HAS GOOD ACCELERATION AND THE TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. I DID HEAR A LITTLE RATTLE IN THE FRONT END, MAYBE A BALL JOINT OR TIE ROD. AND I DID NOTICE A SMALL OIL LEAK(IT IS A CADILLAC WITH OVER 200K MILES)!! BODY IS IN GOOD SHAPE. NO VISIBLE DENTS OR LARGE SCRATCHES. NO PREVIOUS SIGNS OF AN ACCIDENT(THAT I CAN SEE). CAR IS FROM UP NORTH, SO THERE ARE A FEW SMALL PAINT BUBBLES, BUT BARELY NOTICEABLE. DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR IS MISSING THE GLASS. INTERIOR IS CLEAN, NO RIPS OR TEARS THROUGHOUT!! EVERYTHING IN THE CAR WORKS, INCLUDING NAVIGATION, SUNROOF, AND ALL POWER OPTIONS. AND YES, IT PLAYS DVD'S ON THE SCREEN!! TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, THERE IS A LITTLE PITTING ON A FEW OF THE WHEELS, BUT THEY STILL SHINE WELL!! NOW YOU KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT THE CAR AS I DO!!! CAR IS AS DESCRIBED. I TRIED TO LIST EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF, BUT KEEP IN MIND I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR MYSELF. SO I COULD HAVE MISSED SOME SMALL DETAIL. CAR IS 8 YEARS AGO WITH 245K MILES, PLEASE EXPECT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK. NO RESERVE AUCTION!!! DISCOUNT SHIPPING TO YOUR DOORSTEP BY A LICENSED, BONDED CARRIER!! ASK FOR A QUOTE!! On Sep-06-10 at 15:34:11 PDT, seller added the following information: TIME STAMP ON CAMERA IS WRONG!!!
