I am trying to decide ....

Trying to decide if I should sell my Legend and keep my stepdads 1996 Cadilac STS. The STS has 65,000 miles and my Legend has 87,000 miles and the A/C in the Cadi actually works. I have driven the Cadi for 14 hours (it has a timer !) and I just cant get over how smooth and comfy and quiet it is.

guys, all old cars, out of warranty, will cost $$$ eventually, The only way to avoid repair bills is to your car as soon as the warranty expires ..... and thats even MORE expensive !

Legend!!! the cadi only has about 30k left on her...before she dies(GM )

Not true. My guess is you dont know much about the STS. This car is like new, it runs so smooth ya can hardly feel it. this car is just broken in, not finished !

this car is sweet as hell. And I just got my upgraded wiring harness for my Legend yesterday.

What kind of gas mileage does the STS get?

:2cool:

13.8 mpg .... 23 mpg highway

I didnt expect you to all agree its a "better" car, but to say its junk is pretty narrow minded. Its a sweet car.

One day all of you will be in something other than a Legend.

I had a 94 Eldorado coupe V6 northstar....and trust me...its a pain in the azz...

ok, not 100 percent sure on this but I dont think Cadi had a Northstar engine in 1994, and also never had a V6 Northstar ever ..... so ...... I dont know you are saying

I only want one car, so I have to choose

legend should get better gas mileage, but the cadi does have some sick options, ie, autoleveing suspension, rain sensing wipers, Electrochromatic Exterior Mirrors, autohead lights, Electrochromatic Rear View Mirrors, but it is slower then legend and legend is much much more fun to drive. but it also had a V8 and RWD which is fun as well... me personally i don't like legend sedans but the coupe is nice.

You got some stuff right but this STS is a LOT quicker. I mean the legend is nice but this car is scary fast.

Only the brand new STS is RWD .... man a LOT of u guys are full of misinformation ....

 

[Stu]

is there a Cadi forum ? Some comments were misguided and some very narrow minded. I am not surprised, but that's sort of what I expected.

Since I don't do major " cosmetic or performance mods" to my Legend or have a lot of breakdowns that I try to fix myself, I asked my original question just to hear what the board members thought about my choice.

I would like to thank everyone who posted.
Merry Christmas and Happy Chanuka to everyone !

Its funny, but everyone who rides in the car likes it more than my Legend.

well no one would pay more than $ 6500 for a mint 1996 STS with 64,000 miles so I returned the car to my stepdad and got back into my Legend back today ,,,,, sweet !

That Cadi was nice and comfy, but no way I would choose it over my Legend. I am glad I dont have to drive it anymore ! That Northstar motor sure sucks the gas good, and I won't miss gasoline fill ups that cost $75.00
