At the time, I owned a new Mercedes S-Class and GL, but nothing compared to the STS in my mind. I still have a 3,6 RWD, which I love, even though my newer cars are much better on paper. What really stands out, is how ahead of it's time the STS was. Magnetic ride, huge touchscreen, keyless-go etc.
this car with the 1sg package goes fir a really good price now, they also have european parts and drives really well almost audi like def worth the money im buying one for 13,000!!
Ok guys :) So, I just found a beautiful, black on black, V8 / AWD, LOADED for only $7000. My ONLY question ( and the only one that matters... ) is, at this point in the Northstar development, did GM finally fix the oil leak/coolant issues with the engine? Or should I weep openly and walk away because such a wonderful vehicle is so poorly designed? LOL
1970borntorun, as an owner of an 06 Northstar V8 STS, I strongly encourage you to avoid this vehicle at all costs! It's a money pit! I've had leaks, motor mounts breaking off, engine overheating, suspension issues, and a host of other problems I can't think of right now! Even as a relative luxury bargain, it's simply not worth the hassle to maintain!
Jamel Moore Thanks for the info, my friend. I'll take your advice. It IS a shame that a company with the engineering resources of GM COMPLETELY half-assed the engine development.
1970borntorun In addition to what Jamel Moore mentioned to you, I will add to what has already been said.... This car, although really nice, will send you to the dealer every month. Avoid at all cost, oil leaks are still a very big problem unfortunately, and as the engine gets older, burns a lot more oil than expected as well.
This car is really overlooked by to many people because its quite a nice car.
Had one for 3 years.Very nice ride!I had a 2005 V6 RWD model and it never gave me any trouble.Traded in 1/2015 with 62K on the clock

The 1980 Seville was front wheel drive. Last year for rear wheel was 1979.
Love mine. Have the 4.6 North star AWD, can't wait to drive it in the snow.
How is it holding up? I'm thinking about buying one myself
Who knew that when GM and Delphi created magnetic ride suspension back in the day that it would have such an impact on performance cars today.
It actually debuted on 2002.5Cadillac Seville sts!
They were tinkering around with a similar setup back in the Allante days.
my STS has 114 K miles and still runs
Mine has 128,000 miles. Still going strong.
Tim Carnabuci mines has 96,000 everything looks brand new lol
Kory Greene mine has 159,xxx and still going strong.
that's pretty low miles of course they should still be running strong, when you get up in the 250k miles then I would expect issues
Tim's gaming and tech 120xxx still kickin
what I want to know is how the hell did he average 35.7 mpg
35MPH.
5:18 says FWD V-6 but should say RWD lol
Oh the continuity error of it all. It's a rear wheel drive car, but the virtual window sticker at the end says front wheel drive. So hilarious LOL

@@mackfar27 I have an 03 Seville SLS and I could care less about 1 $4.95 bottle of Pennzoil Platinum once every 2 weeks 😂😂
@@1970borntorun Cadillacs require no more maintenance than any Mercedes/BMW... I spend more on fuel than maintenance and I have the older models LoL
Its a six speed automatic
old comment, but for anyone reading this it does have a 5 speed, not 6.
he really meant 1979
