From RON aka CAR DUDE1 on July 16, 2009

ON 6/26/2009, I BOUGHT A 2001 ELDORADO "ETC" WITH 28,000 ACTUAL MILES AND COMPLETE VEHICLE HISTORY. THIS ELDO IS WHITE DIAMOND, AND HAS EVERY OPTION EXCEPT MOON ROOF & CD CHANGER. IT IS LIKE NEW IN EVERY WAY, AND I BOUGHT IT SO I COULD AVOID EXTRA MILES ON MY ESCALADE "EXT" WHICH IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

QUESTION) OTHER THAN SCHEDULED MAINTENENCE & L.O.F., ARE THERE ANY SHORTCOMINGS THIS CAR MAY HAVE IN WHICH I SHOULD BE MADE AWARE? I PAID 11K FOR THE CAR AND IT TRULY DOES APPEAR TO BE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION, BUT AFTERALL, IT'S 8 YEARS OLD, AND NOTHING IS UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE. MY MECHANIC SAID,"DRIVE IT!" "SO WHAT, IT'S A FRACTION OF THE COST OF A NEW ONE TOO!" ANY ADVICE ON THIS SUBJECT WILL BE APPRECIATED, I PLAN TO DRIVE AT LEAST 1,000 MILES PER MO. WITH THE ELDORADO. CAR DUDE 1
