Is it time?
I prefer durability and simplicity over technology and complexity - all I need is a Cadillac with a radio, A/C, nice ride and V8 power. So...in the event that I have to replace my '97 I'm considering a 1989 to 1991 Eldorado - simpler overhead valve V-8 and so on. And they are good looking cars.
