I just bought a 2000 Deville with 80K miles on it, and have now driven it about 600 miles. They are truly amazing cars. I'm so impressed with it. this car looks incredible, someone will love this car.

A beauty, and a sweet ride. It’s amazing how well kept that Caddy is.

Beautiful car but Northstar engine a huge risk otherwise I would be highly interested.

@@antoniojmonetti you are absolutely correct. I do watch the Wizard's channel. But with only 37k miles there is no way to know if bolts have been replaced unless it's in the service records. That is a stunning Cadillac though especially coming from West Virginia. Surprised there is no rust. Wish your family good health and please stay safe. You acquire some magnificent vehicles

No one can fix the head gasket unless you put in a complete new or rebuilt engine. I had a 1999 Seville with same engine and died at 100,000 miles. Shame as it was such a beautiful car. Unfortunately would love to have another Caddy from like this, but too risky. Love your vids though.

Hence why you don’t see any of them on the road.

I'n a volunteer driver for a non profit org here in Baltimore. I accompany aged seniors to critical medical appointments and treatments. As well as dreaming of one day being able to own one of your special cars, right from the beginning...as soon as I discovered your channel, I immediately thought how great it would make any of my aged senior clients feel to get a ride to one of their medical appoints in one. They'd feel like a celebrity. These cars a the oscar winners of these folks automotive dreams. Keep being awesome Anthony!

It's great to see a 2001 in such good shape. We just got rid of my mom's 2001, which was pretty much shot. It had come to the end of its life.

Had a beautiful, fast 2001 Cadillac DTS. Ran great without any problems till it went over 100k then the engine overheated then blew up..Gotta love that Northstar! Now driving a CTS Vsport & fell back in love with Cadillac all over again!!!...

I agree with Anthony on how white wall tires look more visually appealing on a Cadillac. White wall tires and a Cadillac are like salt and pepper. You can't have one without the other!

Recently purchased a 2001 Deville with 3k original miles on it. It’s basically a mint condition car but I was confounded by the fact that there were no cup holders!!! Until I watched this video that is 😂😂 thank you! Looks amazing

The engines not problem the head bolts need to be replaced on all these. Cost get work done is what makes people pass on these cars. Car wizard on here explain in detail. He did his but his labor free. He goes in put beefed up head bolts cars good for ever.

It would be a great car if it had a standard engine. I learned from experience about owning a Northstar. I got a great deal on a grandmother’s 06 DTS with 38k miles. Anything done to it you have to drop the motor for more than I could sell it for.

You don't have to drop motor, you can take one motor mount out and roll the engine. Depending on which side you're trying to access.

Beautiful shape. I have an 2006 top trim level. I like the two toned vinyl inside. Mine doesn't have this. Shame this one doesn't have the center console & shifter like mine, also wood steering wheel. I would recommend to anyone considering a used DTS regardless of year, have money because they are very expensive to repair!! Big time !

The North Star engine developed a poor quality reputation early on, some deserved, some not. Most of the problems revolved around engine oiling. Meticulous maintenance, even changing the oil more frequently than Cadillac recommended, would usually mitigate the issue. The other big problem was head gasket related. Cadillac redesigned the problem areas by the 2000 model year, given the maintenance this vehicle appears to have received, should be good indicators that this engine would live a long happy life with continued proper care.

@cadillacguy1890

Zooman X I’ve heard that as well. The explanation is that the head bolts don’t hold the head to the block securely at peak combustion pressure because they don’t have enough thread mating area to prevent stretching of the bolt. Combustion gasses escape the cylinder and burn the head gasket, eventually causing it to fail. I believe there was a new spec for head gasket material, as well as Cadillac changing the OE material. BTW there’s also anecdotal evidence that the same thing is happening to some newer, small displacement turbocharged engines.

@Mark-xh9ne

4 жыл бұрын

Agreed. Always change the oil at 50% life. Keep coolant changed every couple years with proper pellets. Yes I have known of a Northstar to hit 250k but that is a rarity. The head bolts where changed for 00 that lessens the proclivity of head gasket failure but unfortunately was not enough until the 04/05 update.

I am with you on the black wall tires. I do not care for them either. The pin stripping works too. Nice shade of blue. I rode in one of those Devilles from that era several times. I did not like the location of the seat controls. I know they had digital gauges too. Very nice detail. The only thing bad about the car is the Northstar V8. That cup holder and center arm rest is a nice set up. This was a nice Deville on every level. Good price too.

I just bought the exact same car recent same color too it’s wonderful riding car mine has very high miles but it still runs strong

Ive owned or own many northstars. Like any other expensive car, they get pricey at times. The color and the whitewalls set it off. Like my Eldo.

Nice car at a fair price. Not great but fair. 7k USD is 10k CND. As we are in a border lock down situation, and I am in Canada I will cut you a check then just mail the car back to me one piece at a time . Will do the head bolts and gasket upon reassembly. Should be done by the summer.......of 2035 ! I love a good project. FYI,,,that paint code looks black at night. Very nice.

Beautiful Cadillac! But DTS version, as I know, has a more powerful 300 HP engine, more sportive suspension and grille with Cadillac badge, that was situated not on the hood. I'm from Russia. The next DTS model also very beautiful and stylish, he has more acute angles in design, once I saw one black DTS in Saratov.
