Thoughts on a Cadillac el Dorado (1992)

[Gibber]

Hi,

I was looking at used cars today and spotted a 1992 cadillac el dorado. 1992. It has about 120,000 miles on it. new tires. New battery. Body is in good shape. I took it for a test drive and it drove great, lot of power. 4.9 V8

Now my question is this model a car that can handle more than 120,000 miles?

Asking price is about $3,200. (knocked down some as I'm a freind and climate control is a bit fishy) but that doesnt matter.

I really know nothing about cars, and you have to take what a sale person says with a grain of salt, so I would like to you ask the opinions of the real experts.

Thanks

120,000 miles isn't a whole lot of mileage for those vehicles. They are well built GM's and many average GM vehicles will go a lot more than 120k miles (approximately 190,000km's).

We had a caddilac with a 4.0 V8. It went for 220,000 miles no problem... that is until my brother crashed it.

Thanks again

Hahahaha......caddys are sweet dude. I know a little about caddys, but mostly older models, the 92 El Dorado, should be about 20 ft long? Doesnt fit into conventional parking spaces? Sweet ride dude and 3200 for a 92 is a pretty killer deal....:thumbsup:

Isn't an El Dorado a coupe?

$3200, you can't go wrong... V8s run a long time.

3200=US dollars

[Gibber]

Yep 3200 in American money, I was reading a bit here and see a lot of you are up in Canada. So it is in American Currency.


mustang- the el-dorado is a 2-door coupe. :)

If you are in the us, live in the us, are a us citizen, then what does it matter if it is 3200 cdn or us? It is all relative.

[Gibber]

benyl- I was try trying to clear it up, and make sure everyone knew what currency it was...

Also I can't just go give a guy 3200 in candain money.

[benyl]

Sorry...

If you are a Canadian and pay 3200 CDN the car is a good deal.

If you are an American and pay 3200 USD the car is a good deal.

That was what I was trying to say.

sorry for the mix up

If you are an american and can pay 3200 CDN EVEN BETTER deal!

[Gibber]

Oh. I just really don't know cars and what they should go for. :)

Thanks

The only thing wrong with Caddys is that the parts cost a small fourtune when they break down. Trust me. I work at a Dealer that sells TONS of caddys and caddy parts and they arn'et cheap and most of them ar not interchangeable

Just my $.02

Also just for the record. Im sure he means 120,000 MILES not Kilometres.

So maybe the cars had it ?


Not saying it has but would like some feedback in regards to this.

(sweet car btw)

[Gibber]

Yeah I mean Miles, and I think most people saw that in the thread. As someone even put it in approx KM..


120,000 miles 190,000km's
