    FUDGE

    I went to hop in the Caddy and it will not start. What a great way to start my day. It is times like this that I am glad that I had purchased the best warranty available.

    Road side assistance is on the way. Yayyy! It was fine just the other day when I parked it in the garage. ??????

    Now I guess I am going to have to take one of my other cars to go and get me a bag of those Lay's Tangy Carolina BBQ chips. It is all Hec's fault. NOT! j/k

    Caddy's are great cars

    I used to drive an old junker Caddy back in the late 80's

    Man, that thing was a boat and would go through snow better than any 4 wheel drive vehicles --- as long as I kept the trunk filled with cinder blocks

    My dream car's time ended the first time it needed to get fixed and I found out all Caddy parts are crazy expensive ...

    Oh well, for a year I drove a Caddy

      I did not know there was such a thing as an old junker caddy. That is when they used to really make cars to last in those days.

      Yes, Caddy's are indeed nice cars. Like you mentioned above though there is also a nice price to pay as well when associated with the name brand.

      Still waiting for the roll off to get here so I can head to the dealership to find out what is up. clock is ticking....tick tock tick tock....LOL!

        I had mine around 1989-ish and it was a 1977 Sedan DeVille

        It went through like 4 owners before it got to me.

        I couldn't resist, the last lady wanted $700.00 for it

          Can't beat that price for sure on a Caddy.

            I just got back from the dealership and running around doing a couple of other things in the rental car they supplied me.

            No one said anything about how long it was going to take and I did not even bother to ask. I will just await the dealership to call me whenever they get it fixed.

            I ended up getting a brand spanking new 2010 DHS for a 2009 STS V so I am not complaining too much right now.

              My mom had one until recently. My deceased Uncle gave it to her in his will. It was a really nice car and she used to get a lot of positive compliments on it. Unfortunately, it had run its course and needed repairs worth more than the car.

              She now drives a brand new Ford Taurus and is really happy with it.

                My dad had a 69 Caddy up until last year.That car was smooth man.It was like riding in a soft cloud.
                Navy blue,landau top,472 big block 2 dr hardtop.He had it over 25 years picked it up for $1500.

                I had to use it for my drivers test...
                The car was like 30 feet long.

                Now he cruises around in his 49 chevy or his 67 impala he loves old cars.

                I hope they fix you up soon!!!
                No man should be without his Caddy!!!

                  That happens eventually. At least she enjoyed it while she had it.

                  Nothing wrong with that. The repair cost would definitely be a lot less expensive than a Caddy for sure. That and it still gets her from point A to point B. That is the main thing.

                    Just a quick update to say that I have my baby back. I picked her up today and she is purrrring fine. It turned out that it was just a bad cell in the battery. The battery was replaced and I even received a certificate for a free oil change. Zero cost to me.
