HELLO, I AM CONSIDERING BUYING A ELDORADO. IS THERE ANY PROBLEMS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AND OF THE YEARS 1996 TO 2002, WHICH YEAR IS THE BEST TO BUY?
THANK YOU

Other than usual Northstar head gasket and oil leak issues, the only other problem I noticed regualrly including my 310,000 mile 02 ETC was the door panel clips that break and usually get replaced with self tapping trim screws

Can't go wrong with 2001, as no recalls have happened on that year. My ESC has only 78,000 miles and now that I see from the previous post it can hit 310,000, I may never have to buy another car in my lifetime!
