I had a 2004 DHS for about 10 years and it was flawless. I only spent money on oil, filters, a few bulbs and brake parts. Definitely a mob ride (says the Italian boy). Nicer than my 85 Deville.
My 2003 Caddy is one of a kind in many respects. You have to own one to really appreciate what your driving a V8 and just plain SEXY CAR..I would set it on fire when it dies just because its a Viking Funeral for this car.
By most accounts, GM finally managed to fix that (mostly) by model year 2004 and every 2005+ Northstar is no more susceptible to that problem than any other engine.
The thing is, I don't care about speed or handling in a luxury car. I just want it to be comfy. I loved my Buick 'cause it felt like driving a Lay-Z-Boy.
@@hakeemsd70mthats a rip off lmfao they sell for about $1000-2000 with 60k miles on em cause you never know when the northstar engine will do northstar things ive had them blow out at 30k miles and ive had them blow at 300k miles it does it eventually no matter what doesnt matter how you drive or where your at either
I miss my 02 Deville DTS. I’ve been waiting to find a 2004 Deville DTS in white with night vision, 2004 was the year they added the cooled front seats and heated steering wheel, plus the last year for 300hp Northstar. Hard to find here in Canada. Love this review. Wish this one had night vision! I’ve driven all of them, the DHS handles just fine. The DTS is certainly a bit better on the handling but not really that big of a difference - still lots of body roll and arguably more torque steer with a DTS. You could get night vision in DHS and DTS the entire time, for 2004 they made night vision available on base Deville as well - super rare to find that. These cars are truly great daily drivers. 04 is hit and miss with head gasket issues, most seem to remedied by that time. Even still, once that job is done, these things are reliable tanks that are *planted* in the snow. Deville’s have real Nuance leather made by Eagle Ottawa - they all do. DHS is ruched Nuance leather (door panels only for 04/05, prior models have ruched seats), DTS is perforated Nuance (until 04 when all were perforated when with heated and cooled). Devilles have the zebrano wood appliqués, yes, but DHS and DTS have the real zebrano wood. All my friends loved my DTS (my first car in high school) it was always the car everybody wanted to ride in lol.
Even though this Deville has the lower power output Northstar, it can achieve 27mpg on the highway. If you get the Northstar Performance tune, you can get more than 30mpg out of the 275hp Northstars. I have the 300 horsepower variant in my 1999 STS, but I'm not getting anywhere over 23mpg at 80 mph.
Soooo much leaks.. sometimes pain in the ass to fix but yea looks very cool and oooooo man resonator and muffler delete and straight pipe that .. sounds like a sports car
The 2007-2010 was the era of swag for Cadillac for me it was my childhood 😆 their designs have always been really cold to me and they continue to build good looking cars which can't be said for others. Awesome video especially since this is an affordable car for highschool and college students. I've been looking at the 2004-2009 Cadillac SRX for a first car. I love seeing yoy enjoy cars like this and getting the opportunity to be in some of your favorite cars it's always my favorite partd of your vids
Hey thanks so much for stopping by yea that really is the golden years of swaggy cadillacs haha. Def get a warranty with a Caddy but otherwise amazing car to behold. Hope you have a blessed 2021 my friend!
I have the DTS 07 and I love it , But yes even with only 35k it’s this and that . I wanted this DEVILLE more for it’s more beautiful inside out and sleeker .Mine really doesn’t roll like this one .I was going to keep it , but hit a ladder 3 days ago that fell of a service truck at 80 on the highway . So !!!! Thanks , great as always !!
Very good overall and fair review. I have a 2005 Deville DHS as my primary daily driver that I've had for 6 years now. Since then I've put on almost 90k miles and all trouble free. These are great cars to enjoy with a LOT of options, comfort, safety, room, and so much more. The fuel efficiency for a big 32 valve V8 is great. After driving and so use to the car now, it's very difficult to go back to anything less. My dad had a black Deville DTS that we really enjoy a lot. I know you do a lot of different cars but film another review of an older Cadillac again!
@@Slikk750Blokk Yes, my car has remained trouble free. Besides normal maintenance it has been the best out of all my other cars. Starts up every time and always ran excellent.

I’m potentially buying a 2005 Cadillac DeVille today. I’m not super educated on these potential issues. It’s super cheap though and I love how it looks. I’m nervous haha.
@@marilynmlm3834 Figure a extra 2000 dollars for the headbolt fix, if its still a good deal once you add 2000 dollars in your mind to the price then buy it.
I always been a fan of the older cars. It may not be that reliable but these are unique vehicles. It would be fun to own one of these vehicles and keep them really clean and customize a little. I would just enter it in car shows and cruise in it on Sundays. My favorite older car is a 1988 Buick Rivera or 1991 Oldsmobile Tornado. Both of these vehicles had a touch screen! Amazing technology for that era!
700k miles, god bless good for you LOL. There is something unreasonably attractive about those big body cars that the SUV's these days just don't have!
My heart and head worked together and picked the 01 Town Car as a first car BUT I still love Cadillacs though can’t trust em! Love a town car review as you are an excellent auto critic!
@@MeynMotorGroup That’s probably cause they’re still tucked away in garages right... can’t wait for you to find one eventually in the mean time I’ll stay tuned
I drove an '03 for seven years until 149k. Never had any overheating or head gasket issues. Also, there was only one Deville in the Sopranos and it wasn't this generation.
I was really considering a 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS but I was a little intoxicated by the charm of a Lincoln Town Car. You need to review a Town Car though.
If you find one and you know the history and it did not have major problems by 60,000 miles it will keep going. I've got $140,000 miles and it's still cruises like it is new
If the car has been well maintained and all it’s service done then it’s a perfect car to buy and own. If it hasn’t then I wouldn’t touch it. I love my 05 deville limited.
i had one exactly like yours in 2018 very good cars when you drill out and replace the head studs. did that at 20k miles and its still running today my homies dads put about 300k on it since i had it and i put 240k on it
@@MeynMotorGroup Yes sir I liked the big body caddies growing up one of my uncles would get a new one every year lol and I’m talking about real classic back in the 80s and 90s classics the first SUVs I loved when they first dropped was those Cadillac trucks they looked so big and elegant with style and luxury I was like wow when they first came out like that’s big pumpkin for real 😂🤣 man bro how times have changed
How rare these Northstar Cadillacs are becoming kind of makes it almost worth saving one by having the engine out and thread tap to bulletproof the engine. It’s probably not worth it on a DeVille/DHS but the last of the Eldorados....if you found a flawless one with low miles, all stock, in some triple black color scheme looking 90s Mafia boss then yes it might be worth spending more than the whole car is worth to fix it once and for all. Review a Seville STS from the early 00s if you find one. GM put a lot of money in that model to compete with Lexus but the engine problems doomed it.
I bought my godparents 2001 with 150K on it for $1000 and within 2 days, someone backed into the driverside door. So I found a 2002, same color and interior, for $500. The only thing wrong with it was that sensor in the tranny and it wouldn't stay in overdrive. It was a little worse shape than the 01, but it had 95K on it too. So a good parts car I figured for $500. I drove that 02 till the tags ran out. good car, just no overdrive. not a bad pickup for a driving car for $500 for just parts....lol....a door cost more than that...lol,,,.I like the big bodies. I ran my 01 on the scale and it was 100lbs shy of 5000 lbs. I ran my relitives 4x4 93 chevy on the scale and it was only a couple hundred pounds heavier....lol....all I can say is that the big body rides better than the newer shit out today.
Do not buy this car unless you are rich. A lot of shops don't want to work on a Northstar. Take it to the dealer. I bought one 3 years ago for $375 from a police impound. (Type Deville cleaning and one of my videos will come up) It had 146k miles when I got it. Yes I still own it and it now has 162k miles. Don't let a stupid tech like The Car Wizzard tell you it has a blown head gasket. If it ever run hot. The first thing a less skill person will think is it has a blown head gasket. I wish GM had install a 5 speed automatic transmission because the engine is over geared. The car only seem fast when you floor it. I love the sound of the engine and it will get around 19 mpg in the city.
I had a 2006 DTS. Very comfortable car, but very expensive to fix. High intensity headlamp $1500 plus tax plus 2 hours labour to install. Very poor gas mileage, but lots of mileage. I liked driving it, but would tell anyone on a budget.. stay away for the aforementioned reasons. The dude reviewing this car is soo sexy,& I'm a guy lol.
Lol, $1500 for an HID headlight is ridiculous. Even $150 is a bit steep for an OEM bulb (in fact, a brand new genuine D1S bulb and working OEM ballast together shouldn't set you back much more than 150; 300 for doing both sides). It'll take some time to install though, especially if the car was driven in the rust belt. A lot of modern vehicles have difficult-to-get-at front lighting, so that's not a problem that's necessarily exclusive to DTS. It's got its share of pricey repairs, like with most domestics, but nothing too fatal.
160k miles?!? I don't think people really understand how important changing fluids ON TIME and preventive maintenance really is. 160k miles is not really a lot; with proper maintenance (and I emphasize proper, no extended intervals, cheap fluids, or any "fill for life" c**p) the vast majority of cars will make it at least 250-300k miles with few or no issues. After that, they might need some work like replacing some seals and gaskets, but after that they'll be good for another couple 100k miles. And yes, I know the Northstar engines had head gasket bolt problems, but if it's fixed by a mechanic that knows what they're doing, problem solved. It's called proper and preventive maintenance, people.
Other than the head bolts being too fine and TTC solenoid/seal issue, these things are reliable as hell... I would say even more reliable than an accord/civic. My Deville never ever left me stranded. My civic and accord has.
I owned a dhs like this in a light gold paint, I bought the car off an older couple in pristine condition with only 80k miles for 4-5 thousand dollars a great deal. Sadly it got totaled when a older lady ran a red light and t-boned me 😢
Have you ever driven the third gen Q45? I considered that car to be a Japanese Caddy. All the swagger of the Deville but none of the reliability gremlins. I would recommend that over used caddy any day. Hard to find though due to abysmal sale when new.
Lmao that was hella funny. Forreal man these guys annoy the F out of me with their “I’ve driven it for 2.9 billion miles and never had a problem”. You speaking fax man, you keep doing you. Btw, I do think this car is gorgeous.
Northstar engines are notorious with expensive problems don't take my word for it do your own research if you see a Cadillac with Northstar engine run away
Northstar v8s are so horrible never buy a used one ... or get a warranty and get ready to useeeeeee that warranty! My dad had 2 driends when I was a kid he'd help fix the engines over and over and over again and then just said get rid of it. Its the worst engine ever.
Yes they are awful engines. For people that like these types of cars I recommend a Buick with the 3800 v6, possibly the Buick Lucerne (based off the cadillac dts) or a Ford panther body, like a Grand Marquis/Lincoln towncar. Lexus are the best but not everyone can afford them.
No 2000-05 deville didn’t have MRC it had air shocks. MRC debuted on the 2002.5 Cadillac STS not a Ferrari or corvette or bmw or Benz. That’s right a Cadillac…
😂😂 I couldn’t help but note the chuckling. Really who forced you into that your credibility and reputation hasn’t been put at stake it’s on the stake. What’s next a bespoke converted storage container with engine wheels steering wheel and a hole with window taped on. I’m a subscriber for god sake with notifications switched on.
If you are going to review cars, maybe learn something about them before you film. The DHS isn’t more luxurious then the DTS. Do you know anything about trim levels? Deville is base, dhs then dts the top dog that came with more standard options…
See my 2002 Cadillac Deville DTS Review here: th-cam.com/video/Xoib1iAA3p4/w-d-xo.html
The rear lights are just a piece of art
Very reminiscent of the deville from the 80s, to me its like a nod to retro

These Caddys are absolutely awesome. Still today. Great looking and very comfortable cruise. Only issue was the northstar head bolts.
Agreed!
By most accounts, GM finally managed to fix that (mostly) by model year 2004 and every 2005+ Northstar is no more susceptible to that problem than any other engine.
They also make a stud kit for it to fix the headgasket problem

It's got its share of pricey repairs, like with most domestics, but nothing too fatal.
160k miles?!? I don't think people really understand how important changing fluids ON TIME and preventive maintenance really is. 160k miles is not really a lot; with proper maintenance (and I emphasize proper, no extended intervals, cheap fluids, or any "fill for life" c**p) the vast majority of cars will make it at least 250-300k miles with few or no issues. After that, they might need some work like replacing some seals and gaskets, but after that they'll be good for another couple 100k miles. And yes, I know the Northstar engines had head gasket bolt problems, but if it's fixed by a mechanic that knows what they're doing, problem solved. It's called proper and preventive maintenance, people.
Why would you censor the word crap 😂
@@MeynMotorGroup TH-cam's rules, not mine
@@alc.8415 I think crap passes sh!t not so much but yea proper maintenance always must past 100k miles
Other than the head bolts being too fine and TTC solenoid/seal issue, these things are reliable as hell... I would say even more reliable than an accord/civic. My Deville never ever left me stranded. My civic and accord has.
Should have been named "the 2004 Cadillac them ho's better have my money!"
I owned a dhs like this in a light gold paint, I bought the car off an older couple in pristine condition with only 80k miles for 4-5 thousand dollars a great deal. Sadly it got totaled when a older lady ran a red light and t-boned me 😢
How much to fix the Northstar head gasket 3-4k so its a loss 📉
I recently gotten a Cadillac deville 02.
got mine today as a first car for 2000 lol
have you ever heard of the Pontiac Bonneville GXP with the Northstar engine
No but I did just review a Pontiac G8 GXP lol
Grand prix 1yr also had a model with said motor
found one at 5,800 miles for $8,000.. should i get this??
Damn. That thing will need a lot of things replaced due to all that sitting
Five thousand, eight hundred? Yeah right
I saw one at the side of the road abandoned last month, btw merry christmas bro
Not surprised lol 😆 I saw an old jag broken down in the middle of the road once. But yes Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
Their fun to drive!!!
My best friend has a 2006 DTS, and it is much easier to drive in the city than my 2017 Continental.
Nice!
I wish Cadillac still used actual names.
Yea I miss that too
Hi. Yes I had a 2002 and Oil Leaks. So Many Problem Codes Come up all the time.
Sadly yes that's the reality
Notification squad 🙌🏽
Haha appreciate it my friend happy holidays!
Also my favorite car ever. RIP to the one that I totaled.
Should I get one 2k with 180k mileage
no
Only if the head gaskets have been done and its in good shape
Beautiful car
Sounds like the cars in early GTA games 😂😂 Fun review Kevin!
I can def see this in GTA lol
@@MeynMotorGroup 😂🤣
Better than a crossover dweeb mobile.
Northstar is a great engine just Maintain it
Yea I think it was mainly a bolt on the head gasket that went wrong
After 2004 the face-lifted dts 06 and up are flawless
@@RageHP-RageHorsePower I thought they fixed the problem in 05?
@@zachmasters7397 late 2004 early 05 so yes
@@RageHP-RageHorsePower ok you had me worried, I'm buying an 05 tomorrow.
We got the same taste man
Have you ever driven the third gen Q45? I considered that car to be a Japanese Caddy. All the swagger of the Deville but none of the reliability gremlins. I would recommend that over used caddy any day. Hard to find though due to abysmal sale when new.
I have not! But I do know what car you're talking about those things looked awesome lol
This was the sunday Pastor Pimp's car...
It should be the Pope's car
Do they last as long as lexus. ?
no
If that leather backseat could tell stories
Lmao that was hella funny. Forreal man these guys annoy the F out of me with their “I’ve driven it for 2.9 billion miles and never had a problem”. You speaking fax man, you keep doing you. Btw, I do think this car is gorgeous.
Yea I despise that lol 😆 people be having all sorts of nonsense cars like an S class with 3 million miles on it no issues so annoying these people
I have to admit... it looks good. I had an 06 STS with the Northstar. It looked great but died in Germany.. lol
Oh damn 😆 sorry to hear that but yea that's why I dont suggest some Highschooler to go out and buy one lol
Iv had one before. It was sweet
This car is so you Kevin. Seriously.
Screaming coolant issues, DTS and STS. beautiful cars though.
Def need a warranty or some extra budgeting
Review a new Lincoln Continental!
I'll try to!
LOL you throw around the shade so easiliy!
😆
The DHS has 6 seats, the DTS has only 5.
load up with the vatos and cuchitas`!
I got my 02 dts on the groundddd
Northstar engines are notorious with expensive problems don't take my word for it do your own research if you see a Cadillac with Northstar engine run away
Mines been good 7 years now.
This fool said zucchini wood. 🤣lol
Northstar motor can be big promble i my understanding
yes
Northstar v8s are so horrible never buy a used one ... or get a warranty and get ready to useeeeeee that warranty! My dad had 2 driends when I was a kid he'd help fix the engines over and over and over again and then just said get rid of it. Its the worst engine ever.
I heard after 06 they fixed the head gasket bolt failure
Yes they are awful engines. For people that like these types of cars I recommend a Buick with the 3800 v6, possibly the Buick Lucerne (based off the cadillac dts) or a Ford panther body, like a Grand Marquis/Lincoln towncar. Lexus are the best but not everyone can afford them.
@@Skyman08
People who drive Cadillacs don’t settle for less. Certainly not any of the crap you mentioned. Lol
@@Samuelfish2k lol ok then, whatever you say.
@@Samuelfish2k 😁😁 that was a good one
👍😎
Happy Holidays my friend!
@@MeynMotorGroup Merry Christmas!
Bonneville gxp engine lol yes warranty desperately needed after purchase 😆🤣😂 typical gm product
Big boy warranty 😆
Mysterious over heating problems 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
No 2000-05 deville didn’t have MRC it had air shocks. MRC debuted on the 2002.5 Cadillac STS not a Ferrari or corvette or bmw or Benz. That’s right a Cadillac…
16 inch wheels on that big ass car??
That was the norm back then, not just for Cadillac.
I wanna buy one can anybody help me?
Get a 06-11 dts….if you gotta have this body style..get a 2005
Driving around in a serta mattress 😭🤣
cant like the vid since its at 555 lmk when it has more🙏🏻
😂😂 I couldn’t help but note the chuckling. Really who forced you into that your credibility and reputation hasn’t been put at stake it’s on the stake. What’s next a bespoke converted storage container with engine wheels steering wheel and a hole with window taped on.
I’m a subscriber for god sake with notifications switched on.

Such a nice car they should have never put that trash 4.6 Northstar in it
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
What's up bro happy holidays!
@@MeynMotorGroup Happy Holidays bro 😎🤝👍🏾👍🏾
Northstar
Yep
Welcome to the world of Cadillac, kid. There’s no turning back now. Lol.
If you are going to review cars, maybe learn something about them before you film. The DHS isn’t more luxurious then the DTS. Do you know anything about trim levels? Deville is base, dhs then dts the top dog that came with more standard options…
Top trim level doesn't mean more luxurious. You are incredibly incorrect
