Does any one have a cadillac catera? |
|
i am looking at buying a used car. every once in a while I run across a cadillac catera that's reasonably priced. does anybody have any advice they could like to offer on this vehicle? I do not know anybody that owns one.

The dealership down the road from us had one for sale,he shipped it out to another state.apparently they're rear wheel drive,not good for Wisconsin.Before we knew that,my boyfriend wanted to purchase it,i read lots of information on the internet about them.they are one of the worst cars cadillac made, and cheaply made.Because they stopped making them,its hard to find parts for them, and the biggest complaint on the cars review was that parts for it are very costly.Look up car reviews for it and read what other people experienced.

my friend had one, I think a 97 ot 98 and it had sooo many recalls she ended up selling it cheap because it was such a lemon. be cautious.

I had one a 1997 back in 2001. It gave me nothing but problems It ran good for about six months, then it nothed but expensive problem after problem. You name it, electrical, engine, etc. I coined mine the "Crap tera". I had to sell the car cheap just to get out of it.
It drove really bad in slick weather rain or snow. I have had rear wheel drive before and never experienced such a terrifying experience.
I believe there were some thoughts of legally calling it a lemon but Cadillac stopped making it Coincidence?. . first, the Catera is a 1994 model year Opel Omega MV6 Opels, I thought were usually good, but this one was a LEMON.

they are nice automobiles. and most are priced relativily cheap,considering cost when new. i'v heard the 99's were prone to electral problems.other than that they're well built. made by "opel" in germany . if you like the soft cadillac ride you may not be too happy although, as it has a sportier ride. I think its a bit under powered, but then again I also drive a 93 z28 camero.when in the caddy I am in cruzin' mode, so its just good. I give it a nine and that is a ten to majority of people, for me a ten could be an "exotic". ferrari, lambo' I have not driven a ten still : one day I'll. mean while. 2000 black cat', 93 black z28, 94 teal chevy p.u., 19?? yellow & white simplicity lawn tractor whopping 10bhp.,

I had a 98 catera and loved it.. except for the cup holder. it's a poor man's cadillac, but still a cadilliac. it's a high end car, so repairs are going to be costly.

The early Cadillac Cateras has issues. If you are going to purchase one, purchase the newest model you may be able to find/afford. Every year, the Catera got better and better more dependable . it is not a bad looking car and you may be able to get them without selling your soul.
The Cadillac Cimarron was really the worst Cadillac ever made.. Many people really love the Catera.. it is a little small for me, but I considered one before.. I like them.
