I am thinking about going to have a look at this tomorrow. Any opinions on them? How is the Northstar engine? How are they over all reliability wise? Is 180,000kms (110,000 miles) to many to start with? Is the price too much for that many miles? Keep in mind that is Canadian, and for some reason cars cost more here.
Here is the link
2004 SRX
Thanks.

I was wanting to go look today? Any opinions before I go?

whats the point you "look" at a new car every other week
If I don't look, how will I ever know what I want

its a nice car no doubt, its a cadillac! i know parts aren't cheap for them, and i don't really like the srx.

I actually kinda have some inight. My next door neighbor has a newer one that he has been leasing. I forget what part he said it was but sometime in it went out literally 4 or 5 different times that costed like 600-800 dollars a piece EACH time. Whatever it was that went out made the car really weak and he lost power steering and stuff. He didnt pay for any of it fortunately because of it haveing a warranty on it.
SOOO that is one with less than 30k miles that had problems. I wouldnt even consider it unless it has a warranty or something. It DOES get around alright in the snow.

My dad has a 07 with the V-8 with about 80k and I think he loves it more then life it self.
And hes has no issues or problems with it at all.
Sorry for the double post for whatever reason that happened.... and im just saying what issues HE had. The lease is almost up and he is getting rid of it he got a brand new F150.... he also have a GORGEOUS G6 GTP and a AMAZING 80(something) F350 diesel with big tires and black rims.... he has money.. sooo... lmfao.
I guess if you want some input. My parents have one in the v8 version. SUCKS GAS like no other.. Getting about 12-14 city.
beautiful truck though. Sticker was 56k but they got it used with about 4k miles on it.
Too bad its like any other gm product and its value drops like a bomb. They cant find a single dealer in town willing to give them more then 17k with only 20k miles (its a 07) with every possible option including the rare 2nd sunroof over the 3rd row
good luck
Gas mileage is not really an issue for me. Hell, 12-14 city is better then I get from the Sierra, so it would be a step up, haha
And yes, I know I ask a lot about a lot of different cars. Problem is, I just simply don't know what I want. I just know I want something else. 3 years it about all I can drive the same vehicle for, you know what I mean?
Honestly, it will likely take me a long time, and A LOT of looking to even decide what make and model car I want. Then I have to find one to buy. I have actually had a car search go in excess of a year, so this is nothing new. I just like to hear opinions, and real worth experience of other people.
Thanks guys.

Okay, I drove it, I really, really liked it. It has every possible option except the DVD system. But, I am still concerned about the mileage.
Is it too high? Will there be enough left for some years of reliable driving?
I made an offer, in the lines of $XXXX is the most I will pay. They didn't really like it, but I are humming and hahhing over it, as they know the mileage is high, and most people won't accept that. So, if they get back to me with a yes, should go for it? Or keep looking? Maybe pay more for less miles?

my mom just bought a 07 with the 3.6L in it. its so nice i like driving that car alot. it was a rental we got and she liked it so much my parents ended up buying it. it isint the loaded one with the dvd or navigation or sunroof but it has leather bose sound system and 18inch rims and auto start. 110k isint that many miles if there all highway
Ya, but really, how do you know if it was highway or not?

They are a PITA to fix (and not cheap, either)
If you gotta go Caddy, what about a 03-05 CTS?
