Well maybe not so new however it drives great, looks pretty damn good, the interior is the cleanest I've seen for that year and long behold I got it a great price.

What I purchased is a 1993 Cadillac STS with the Northstar v8 4.6 Liter motor in it.
I bought it for $3,000 cash. I plan on keeping this car for awhile.

The body I would give it a 7 out of 10.
The interior I'd give it a 8 and a half out of 10. The only thing that's really wrong with the interior is that it needs music. The stereo is old and pretty much shot to shit. After I start saving again I will put window tint on it, music and maybe rims. But for now I have to save money, I'm so glad I have wheels again. That is actually all paid for.

I purchased the Cadillac from some older guy out in San Jose. I shall try my best to post pics tomorrow.

Congrat's! Watch the oil level in that bad boy cause northstar's are notorious for burning oil. [Wink] I have a 99 STS and I wonder if it's the same engine? Mine run's hard for a heavy ass boat. But just keep that for a cruiser and get another stang for a weekend worrior and You will be happy.

I was going to get a cadillac but the maintenance is so bad on them. Things seem to fall apart. The engines are not good on gas also have problems past 100k. I'm sticking with buicks, v6 better on gas and lasts longer.

I have about 8,000 left on My warranty and the milage is 85,000 so I am getting ready to get rid of mine. I am going to get an X5 BMW I think.

Yeah I know I should have gotten a mustang however, I couldn't find anything for the price that I was looking for that was in decent shape. So that's why I purchased the cadillac and plus I needed a car like asap. I won't be able to register the thing till Monday after school, I was going to do it today but I over slept.
