What are some common problems with the Cadillac STS?

I have a friend who’s willing to sell me their 2010 Cadillac STS for a great price, but I want to make sure I don’t end up with more repair costs than it’s worth. What are some of the common problems with the Cadillac STS?

It’s important to balance the pros and cons of buying a used car, as a cheaper price up front may be negated by expensive repairs down the road.
Common problems with the
Cadillac STS
include battery and electrical issues, and those seem primarily to be found in the 2005-2006 model years.
Sold between 2005 and 2011, the
Cadillac STS
has a 3/5 rating on RepairPal, which puts it squarely in the average category. Repair costs are listed at an annual average of $669, which is also middle of the road as far as comparable models go.
A wise addition to a used car purchase is a
roadside assistance policy
. This add-on coverage will ensure that you can always get a jumpstart, tire change, tow, and more if you have car trouble.
