One of the worst cars I ever bought was a 90 Cadillac Sedan De ville from a little old lady. It looked beautiful, but I found out the hard way little old ladies are generally pretty bad when it comes to scheduled maintenace, I thought the weqak brakes wouldn't be too bad, but when we pulled the wheels we found the rotors were all scored because the thing never got a change of pads. The lady must have been pushing that pedal to the floorboard for years That was $400. In addition, I had nothing but problems with the cooling system, which the mechanic said was from the radiator never getting a flush. I finally blew a head gasket on the freeway after the bottom literally fell out of the radiator. I fixed that to the tune of 2 Gs, and it never really ran right after that. I gave it to one of my kids, who had nothing but problems with it, and it now sits parked at his apartment. The car still looks beautiful. Its a beautiful piece of ****.
