If I had 20-24K to spend it would be an '05 Deville. Great in snow. If I had 10-18k to spend it would be a 2000-2004 Deville. I've had them and for that matter any FWD Caddy can handle Upstate snow of up to 120" annually that we get here in UPSTATE NY. Have been taking those rides down the Thruway for years.
