[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 1018408, member: 61743"] Just buy an extended warranty, at least on the powertrain, because they are pricey suckers to fix and tend to lose head gaskets. My dad's '04 Caddy finally breathed its last about a year ago with 198,000 miles although it got new head gaskets at 130,000. My mom's '99 has exceedingly low miles but lost a head gasket last year. She let it sit for the winter while they were in Florida, didn't want to spend the money to fix it ("I don't drive very far"), it finally died last summer and required an engine rebuild at the dealer for about $6000. Also buy one of the large cookie sheet drip trays to put under it. I got my dad two of them for Christmas a couple years ago. Cadillac hasn't made an engine that didn't leak oil and/or coolant since 1981. [/QUOTE]
