    Wow, I didn't know you could get a 2000 Deville with cloth seats! I'd love to run across one of those, that must be quite rare. The Deville looks like it's a much more comfortable car than my Seville was, not that it was uncomfortable. I've never owned a Deville, however I'd love a DTS with...

    Very unusual to find one with cloth seats, but I have seen one like that on craigslist. I believe that was the last car Cadillac even offered cloth seats in. The LT1 Fleetwood Brougham is a nice car. I remember sitting one as a kid at a local Cadillac dealer that has since been bought out twice...

    Another question for those of you that own 1998-2002 Continentals. Is there any more driver leg room in these cars over that generation Taurus? I was involved in a serious motorcycle crash a couple years ago and it left me with many issues in my left leg, one of which is it's pretty sensitive to...

    I found that to be interesting as well, a good feature. The Northstar is an open deck design, leaving minimal support for the head gaskets. I feel that this is one of the main reasons why the gaskets blow. What actually happens is the coolant seeps past the gaskets and into the head bolt holes...

    That sounds great. How many miles have you put on it? The STS valve cover gaskets were leaking as well, into the spark plug wells. The front was also leaking onto the exhaust manifold, which caused an oil burning smell. Do you need to tilt the engine to replace the gaskets?

    Thanks for the advise. Just out of curiosity, what makes the 1997 more reliable than the newer cars? Yes, I've heard that you should never actually flush an automatic transmission, just do a fluid and filter change. That's what I did with the STS. I started to notice that tcc lockup started to...

    Hey everyone, first post here. I can be a bit long winded, so sorry if this post is long. If you don't feel like reading my spiel, feel free to read a couple paragraphs down :lol: . I'm considering finding a good, clean, well kept 1998-2002 Continental in the nearish future. I've always been...
