Listings
Cadillac launched the Seville in 1976 as a direct competitor to European luxury imports. It was smaller and more agile than other Cadillacs but retained traditional luxury cues. The first generation was based on a GM rear-wheel-drive platform, but the line shifted to front-wheel drive in 1980 with the controversial "bustle-back" second generation. Later generations evolved into legitimate performance sedans, especially the Seville Touring Sedan (STS) models equipped with the powerful Northstar V8 engine.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust hidden under vinyl tops and in the trunk channels of "bustle-back" models.
- On cars with the Northstar V8 (1993+), scrutinize service records for head gasket repairs, a common and costly failure.
- The HT-4100 V8 (1982-1985) is known for internal coolant leaks; check the oil for a milky appearance.
- Brittle plastic bumper fillers are a frequent cosmetic issue on 1970s and 1980s cars, so check their condition.
- Test all electronic features, from the early EFI systems to the digital dashboards and climate controls on later models.
