From: Calgary, AB. There's a reason why white was the only color offered on every year Corvette. Proud Canadian German Jamaican!

A Benz from 1930 to 2015 would get as much attention from me as Rosie Odonell would if she were surrounded by Kim Kardashian, JLo, Adrianna Lama, Halle Berry, and Scarlett Johanssen and they were offering to engage me in an orgy, if a Cadillac is around.

People really need to do check the history, and on top of that realize that when Cadillac started having issues it was around the same time that Benz and BMW, for that matter, started to improve their vehicles.

For instance this is a 1985 Benz Sclass




and a Same year Cadillac.





Sorry Import fans, Cadillac makes that Benz interior look like an economy car's.
So where's the ABS, SRS, heated front and rear seats, reclining rear seats, etc in the Caddy. You can't compare a mid to late 80's Caddy to an S class and I should know considering I had an '88 sedan DeVille and have an '88 560 SEL.

65k down the drain because your car doesn't get looked at? Sad...very sad.

buying a car to be looked at has be one of the most vain things there is.
I hope the OP is joking.
Every time you strap yourself into this beautiful machine, lighting the fire in the LT1, it coming alive and having control of the beast makes the reason for owning it become very apparent.
Just saying.
