1984 Cadillac Deville Sedan. My dad got a really good deal on it, apparently. And since I'm not really a car person, anyone know anything about it? Good? Bad? Anything else?
A 1984 Cadillac is not really worth a 'Holy Crap', in my opinion. A preferable thread title would have been, 'Meh. I'm getting a car.'
No need for arrogance. When I was 15 years old, I would have LOVED to get a car that was older than I was.
Those things are huge cars, but were really nice for the time. Of course, they were marketed toward 85 year-olds, so the are appointed in such a way to appeal to that group. The ride is smooth, engine quiet (or at least these things were true when new), and so on. My step-mother had a Caddy from this time period (a Seville instead of a Deville, though), and it was a very nice car.
My car is worth 300 dollars, I got it for 400. As long as it gets you from point A to B you should add a big
Yep two of my friends each drive a benz and a g35, and then others have eclipse spiders, new Suv's and I've also seen many escalades at school. So its all about who wants to waste their parents money on a vehicle, while I will be spending mine mostly on college room and board.
Congrats on your Caddy! One of my uncles will only drive Cadillacs, this could be the start of a very long relationship with that brand...or, just a first car. Regardless, enjoy, drive safe.
The car is just begging for gold-spoked rims. Ya gotta love the white stripe around the tires. I remember when I was a kid and was forced to wash my parents cars, they had designated a special toothbrush for me to use to get all of the dirt off the "magical white stripe" so that it would look so fresh and so clean. Today, I could just use some Crest White Stripes to finish off that bad boy! Seriously, congrats on the car. I still look back fondly on my first car; a 1990 Volvo 240GL with a hand-crank sunroof.
LOL! I can't help but think of some little kid in his pimp ride. You guys are evil! That being said, there aren't too many cars that exude The Pimp quite like an old Caddy. To finish off your purchase, don't forget the dice man... you gotta have the dice. And then drop that bad boy.
You are a very smart kid. Enjoy your new ride and keep saving your money for the important stuff in life.
