Take a long test drive to get engine and rear end gears to temp and listen for noise
Detailed review:
Drove in 2003 but waited for 3.6 engine in 2004. Great looking car and rides well on trips. Three minor recalls in first 18 months and then did not have parts in stock when I took it in. Loud noise in rear end at low torque between 20 and 40mph. One dealer did not even acknowledge the noise after driving. Another said he heard it but there was no fix from GM. GM extended warranty to 100K. Hey, it's a Cadillac, it shouldn't be noisy! Finally took back to the dealer from whom I purchased and he replaced the entire rear axle and differential assembly. Problem resolved and then got rear ended and car was totaled. Will not buy another GM. I gave them a another chance but the quality is just not there. I'm glad I kept the '97 BMW convertable. It still runs great!
