Luxury sedan for daily driver...
I'm thinking of picking up a used luxury sedan for a daily driver. I'm looking for reliability, good performance, and style. I was thinking of Lexus LS400's, Caddy Eldorado's and STS's. Anyone have any opinions on these cars? Obviously being used car there might some hidden problems, but overall how are the reliability ratings for these cars? Also, any good Mid 90's Mercedes worth thinking about?

the 99+ STS are nice. and if ya get one most likely all the recalls and bullshit has already been taken care of. Eldos are nice too, but there really isnt much of a back seat. They go pretty damn good too for a big car. Come down to Frost caddy and ill have one of my sales buddies show ya what we got.

My moms winter car is a 93 ETC, it is pretty pimp. it has 18's, a custom cold air, and a set of pipes on it.
befor the exhaust, it went 146 @ 96 mph
its pretty sweet.
rides nice, fast, looks good, good in the snow, GM loyal ect ect ect.
thats my opinion.

I have a '97 Cadillac Deville and a '95 Mercades S500 coupe that I use for daily drivers (go anywhere cars). The Caddy is a very comfortable 4 door with the Northstar motor. As mentioned it goes pretty good for a big car and the trunk is big enough to use it like a small pick-up The Mercades is a nice, solid car. Plenty of options and Mercades quality. Have to get used to the wipers going in the opposite direction.
I might be thinning the heard soon so these two might be for sale. Caddy has 56k on the odometer and the Benz just sent to 60k.

Thanks guys. I know this is an LS1 board, and by extension a pro GM board, but any real problems with any of the Cadillacs? I know of the Northstars head gaskets problems, but any other real common problems?
Also, for those who know, I know Mercedes has taken a hit in its reliability department, but the mid 90's are still good years to get from?
Tbyrne: If you ever put either up for sale, lemme know. They might be out of my price range, but still let me know. Thanks

My mom is selling her 1998 Infiniti I30. Pretty nice car, very reliable, very comfortable. It's black with tan leather, auto, sunroof, fully loaded of course. 3.0L V6, 96k miles. I'll have to call her and ask to be sure, but I think she's asking $8500 obo.
PM me if you're interested.

[QUOTE=tbyrne]I usually say everything is for sale for the right price
Caddy $6500.-
Are you actively shopping it, or just thinking about it? I'm not too sure when/if I'll be buying another car, but when I decide to I'll give you a holler.
