My dad had a used 1959 Cadillac during the early 1970s. It was in excellent shape and fun to drive.

That’s why I never take my wife when buying cars. Because she’s smarter than I am, and usually talks me out of what I “want.” 😂

The "nickel-and-dimeing" are, in fact, small potatoes, compared to the 25%-30% a new car's value falls the instant the buyer drives it off the lot.

That's only relevant if you plan on selling it as soon as you drive it off the lot.

Back then, new cars were redesigned every year , so that owner s current car would look old fashioned and care worn.

Back then, the rule of thumb was, if you can’t pay for a car in 3 years, you can’t afford that car. Now, cars are priced so far beyond that, that most people can’t afford to pay for any car in less than 6 years. That means, most people are driving cars they literally can’t afford. I understood that years ago. So I never buy new. Always buy at least 2 years old.

Keep the 55 Cadillac it's much better looking than the 57. Keep it in the garage till 1980 and it will be worth twice what you paid for it new.

Given Cadillac owners are theoretically great businessmen, it's surprising this film treats the first customer like he's an idiot. For example, it never dawned on the guy to sell the car privately given 'Cadillacs have such great resale value"? And why would he ever go back to the same dealer if they keep trying to gouge him each sale?

I agree. The smart choice was a loaded Oldsmobile 98. It was even called the poor man's Cadillac. Olds was also Cadillac's experimental division.

Cadillac is no longer the champion in holding their resale value. I bought a used Lexus five years ago. I priced similar used Cadillacs with the same mileage. The Lexus was more expensive but it has been very reliable. There is a guy I work with that wants to buy it from me but I am not selling at any price.
