To all my 2013 Caprice owners

Post by Johnny6speed »

Hey guys. I recently purchased 2013 Caprice PPV. I haven’t really had time to do anything with the weather and work blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.. I specifically picked the 2013 because I like the center council shift and my research showed 2013 is the best year.
With that being said, are there any common issues with the 2013 specifically? Thanks for all your help

I have been driving 11-13’s for the last 6 years. The biggest problems I have had with them are speed sensors, TPMS and miscellaneous water leaks. They seem to be solid cars if they have not been butchered up by civilian owners. I prefer the 12’s due to the matching rear door panels and radio’s that have rear speaker output.

I bought my 2013 in May of 2015 with 53 miles on it. By the time I had it shipped to me it ended up with 125 miles on the odometer. So, it hasn't been subjected to "duty" type use, but aside from TPMS issues (which may be because they are 10 years old) my '13 (37,000 miles) runs like a champ!

I will say the head light covers get pretty rough and need to be polished as they turn yellow, I don't like that there isn't a gauge to check battery voltage, and that I can't check trans fluid level.
