* Smooth ride: Cadillac was renowned for its comfortable ride, and the '98 DeVille continued that tradition with its sophisticated suspension.
* Spacious interior: It offered ample room for passengers and cargo.
* Powerful engine options: Typically featuring a Northstar V8 engine (though some might have had other options depending on trim level), providing decent power and performance. The Northstar was known for its smooth operation, but also had some reliability issues in its early years.
* Luxurious features: Standard features varied across trim levels but typically included leather seating, climate control, and premium sound systems. Options could include things like navigation and heated seats.
* Classic Cadillac styling: While evolving, the '98 DeVille still maintained a distinctly Cadillac design language, embodying the brand's image at the time.
However, it's important to note that the 1998 model year was near the end of the Northstar engine's early production run, so some of the reliability issues associated with that engine are more likely to be found in this generation of DeVille than later years. Any potential buyer should carefully check maintenance records.
