This man got himself a pretty sweet deal by paying merely $275 for a 1999 Cadillac DeVille Golden Anniversary Edition from Facebook Marketplace.
Let’s just say that the car had immense potential — had it been taken care of without thinking about the cost.
Its new owner, however, let his intrusive thoughts decide what to do with the Cadillac.
After ‘playing’ with it for a while, he ‘sold’ it to someone else, but little did the next owner know what had been done to the car.

Man bought 1999 Cadillac DeVille from Facebook Marketplace
YouTuber Keller Moore posted a video about him getting the 1999 Cadillac DeVille for a bargain and also showed what he did with it.
You see, he wasn’t happy with the DeVille’s insanely high coolant temperatures.
It was mostly due to a damaged radiator, but the Northstar V8 inside was known for running too hot.
That’s when a series of incidents, courtesy of Moore, started a chain reaction — so to say.
First off, he mixed a can of what looked like a caffeinated beverage with the existing coolant.
As weird as it sounds, it didn’t look like it did much damage.
Further, he replaced the coolant with actual coolant this time and sprayed the DeVille’s tires with engine enamel.
Why did he do that? Well, because why not?
There was more to come
After a series of vigorous tests — which also involved him cutting down the Cadillac steering in half to make it look like a knockoff Tesla yoke — began the durability tests.
That involved several people kicking, pushing, and using the car as a trampoline.
Moreover, Moore later accidentally rammed the vehicle into a tree, but it wasn’t anything a repair couldn’t fix.
In all fairness, the car wasn’t expensive — so the damage didn’t hurt him as much as it could.
When the YouTuber was done having fun, he posted a story on his Instagram where he invited his followers to a specific location.
Whoever got there first could own the ‘special’ Cadillac DeVille without paying a penny.
It took only four minutes for the first person to show up, and the DeVille had a new owner.
Moore ensured its new owner would be liable for everything, and the two signed the deed.
