I am quite an unpretentious guy when it comes most worldly items, like cars, clothes, electronics, etc.

I can prove it by saying I've never bought or owned a new car in my 73 ys and currently am driving a 1991 Cadillac Sedan DeVille!

Just turned 130k original miles & still runs quite well. Still has the original muffler & exhaust system!

Only get about 17 mpg, the maroon finish is looking dull & scratchy, the automatic trunk lock is a bit balky at times, but the repairs are modest & it gets me back & forth to the golf course twice a week.

BUT---the BEST thing is---I've NEVER had a car pymt because my sister GAVE it to me several yrs ago when she bought a new Infiniti! She has spent more in maintenance & those damn low-profile tires in a couple of yrs than my Caddy cost brand new!
