I just traded in a 2003 Cadillac Seville SLS with 179,488 miles on it as no one could easily find why the car was stalling out. I paid $2,950 for it 3 1/2 years ago and got my monies worth out of it.
MAF sensor code kept coming up along with a misfire. Changed MAF sensor TWICE along with all sparkplugs.
So many other issues and I wasn't going down the rabbit hole of endless car repairs by trial and error.
Got $400 for it and bought an incredible 2004 Cadillac SRX with 85,000 miles that is pristine. It looks brand new. 1st owner had it nine years and babied it with low mileage and incredible maintenance. 2nd owner nearly the same.
Paid $5,250 for it and could sell for $8,500+
My Seville cost me $108 a month with purchase price and repairs/tires/brakes.
When I was young and stupid, I pissed away $25,000-$30,000 on new high end cars: 1984 Cadillac Eldorado, 1986 Jaguar XJ8, 1997 Saab
Never again.
