Re: Any major caddy faults to look out for when buying?
The faults are more down to owning a caddy and seeing things on ebay and thinking il buy that and that. It becomes very obsessive.
Only main thing I would look out for is the clutch as they have a dual mass flywheel and these are prone to going.

Check your ABS lights on dash.
If there's any on approach with caution!
It could be something as simple as a sensor but could possibly be abs pump or damaged PCB under fusebox = €€€
And just another reminder about the flywheel, if it has over 80'000 miles chances are it's been replaced which is a good thing!!
