Avoid them! I tried it, twice('95 sts in 98-00, 99 STS in '17). I bailed. Way too many issues. Check out some cadillac forums and see all the problem threads. Those northstar cars have like 20+ computer modules, and they don't age well. I fixed the headgasket issue with a top end build involving drilling and tapping, and adding head studs. Between that, the liquid cooled alternator, failure prone engine mounts, and unavailable exhaust parts, just not worth it. Oh and then there are the common water leaks. Plus, my friend has a '00 deville and the sunroof is stuck open 3-4 inches, for the past year or so, and he just ignores it. he keeps the sunshade closed and ignores it.
