It's not like when you drive around oakville you dont get looks as it is..thats just to much heat in the wrong crowd.

heat...wrong crowd?...are you not allowed to buy certain cars now because they're reserved to gang members.


If you're going to buy a caddy you're going to run into problems eventually and it very costly to replace parts on them, especially the 90 up models. A friends dad had a DeVille, 160xxx on the motor and the piston blew threw it while going up a hill. Most have airride suspension, but it always breaks, thats why they're usually dropped in the back and normal in the front. To fix that it's almost $1000 per shock

and if you're going to get a caddy, dont be cliche with it, for the love of god....and get an early 80's brougham, go big or go home.

I've got a Fleetwood, red leathers, etc. Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeimp. Repairs are pricey, so are parts.

Sounds like you got a solid plan in mind. There is a big fleetwood ive seen in hamilton....cream with gold rockers, daytons and hydraulics. Looks alright, but that damn kid beats the hell out of that car. Do you want to keep it stock looking? I would, just mega clean.

ohh i see where your coming from...although seeing a black guy driving a cadillac is nothing out of the ordinary.

and cynikal if you're going to mexican your car up DO NOT GET 20's! its so played out, seriously. Get some 13 or 14" 100 spoke daytons.

If i was to get myself another boat, it would have to be a fully restored early 80's cadillac brougham with a 1990 front end...mmm mmmm.

my 87' caprice had a 95 liter tank and I could only squeeze 375Km out of it...I heard the newer engines with fuel injection get around 20mpg...still, hope you dont use this car as a daily driver.

I drive 40km a day, so I'm not worried on gas...its gonna be clean and tinted and low on 14" wires, white walls...I dont want big rims for this particular car...and yes, I work for an autoparts place so its cost price for me...and its not that bad

a complete tune up including ecu is 521 shop cost...and I get it cheaper than that, complete first line brakes are 340bucks shop...I get cheaper than that

parts arent much more expensive than honda parts

as for the oakville comments...thats the most rediculous sh.it i've ever heard hahahahaha....oh man!

Make sure if ya get one don't get 14x7 rims, they rub in the back, get the 14x6 rims. those are what most lowriders run on the fleetwoods.

what autoparts place do you work for?

It's funny because I knew you were going to say that. Something along the lines of "oh no way" etc.

Caddy's are pimp. Don't put platinum plugs in it though. My buddy threw platinum's in his 4.9 and one cylinder bank ran rough on start up.
