Is it hard to find parts for a '95 Chevy Caprice?

Both companies cared nothing about engine endurance back in those years. They hung on to there ancient engine designs and weren't yet good at them. Ford with it's weak head gaskets and GM with it's horrible intake coolant leaking issues. You need to be a mechanic to want to own any of these. Open your mind to some newer Japanese brands and your repair costs should shrink.

THEY WERE OLD POLICE CARS,THERE ARE MANY AROUND

So its a 95 Caprice or 02 Park Ave? Park Ave is going to be easier to support long term. Its similar to several other models and still has a great engine, the 3800. I like the Caprice too. In the past I had owned a few Roadmasters and a Cadillac Fleetwood which were the same platform and they were great cars. Even when I owned mine 10+ years ago parts were not as common as other models because by the time of those cars they just were not that popular and like I said it was just those 3 models or maybe like 6 if you consider the wagons and SS their own models. The engine in the 95 is the LT1 which is a fairly expensive engine to maintain. I really hated it. Sure it had a little more power than the 91-93 models that were basically truck motors but it sure came at an expense when it came to being odd and complicated also worse MPG than previous models. The Park ave has the same number of close relatives but is way more similar to many other GM cars than the Caprice was.

i always found cars like caprices you could get parts easy. they are the same for so many different models and even some truck parts are the same. the only things that might be hard are things like grills or tail lights or door handles or any body parts unless you get used parts.

you can still find parts. all auto parts stores still sell them. if you need body parts might not be able to get original parts but aftermarket still have them go ahead and buy them. crown vic's are a good car. the caprice can give you headaches just like the fords. go with your gut. grand dad will still love ya

make your own decision and don't let anyone pressure you into it. if you're in love with the caprice, get the caprice. OEM parts are hard to find for old cars. Aftermarket, there is an abundance... the thing is, the aftermarket parts oftentimes are inferior quality to the original (unless they're performance parts), such as new reproduction sheet metal versus original factory sheet metal. If you need body panel parts for that vehicle, always go with an original rather than brand new, if you can find one in good shape.

GM parts are a little easier to find, and the parts store can order anything they don't have.
