1988 Cadillac Allante, Dark Grey Metallic, Both Tops on 2040-cars
Dry Ridge, Kentucky, United States
This car has been stored for the last 14 years and is in above average condition. Has 103,680 miles, 4.1L V-8, removable aluminium hard top and stowed soft top. This car was last driven in 1999, and was stored in a garage for 10 years, then pulled out and maintenance started to get it up and running. The project was put on the back burner again and now must be sold. Items I know to be an issue are info center says anti-lock brakes are off, the right front brake is dragging (probably related to the anti-lock and most likely has a corroded slider pin or piston). The info center also says that the center brake light is out, but it works fine. The battery will go dead in about 10 days if left connected, it draws 500 miliamps while sitting. This has always been an issue because a battery disconnect was installed by the last driver. It has a JVC CD disc changer installed. Power windows and antenna work fine, Eagle VR60 tires have good tread but are over 15 years old. The front lower air dam is cracked in the center, has small tear in the bumper cover just above the tail pipe. The soft top has on small rub trough hole from the bows, and a 1/4"X 3" hole from what looks like a mouse. Runs and drives good but has old gas in it and skips every once in a while at idle, trans shifts good. Leather seats and trim have normal wear, no holes. This car belonged to my step father and went to my brother/sister when he passed away, so we have limited info on exact history but ask questions and I will try to answer. Zero rust and kept in the garage all winter.
I have sold my house and have to be moved out in two weeks so the car has to be paid for and removed by June 22nd. Paypal or certified funds only. I have sold two other cars on ebay and have good feedback on them and 100% overall. No reserve, so bid away. |

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k
Fri, 08 Aug 2014General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.

Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
Cadillac boss: We will have diesels
Tue, Aug 18 2015Johan de Nysschen doesn't usually mince words about his plans, and the Cadillac boss says that diesel-fueled models are on the horizon for the luxury brand in the US by the early 2020s. The four- and six-cylinder engines under development would launch first in Europe about 2019. "We will definitely bring them to the US," de Nysschen said during a press event, according to Automotive News. Unfortunately, the Cadillac president isn't saying which models would get the diesels, yet. This plan has been in the works for at least several months, and Cadillac made mention of the two oil-burners earlier this year during the unveiling of its new V6 engine. De Nysschen broached the possibility during an interview at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, and he also referred to the inclusion of hybrids and plug-ins into the company's lineup at that time. Last year, a rumor suggested the addition of a V6 turbodiesel into the Escalade range. There were also rumblings of an oil-burning ATS during that model's launch. While Cadillac is no stranger to offering diesels in Europe, the decision to develop these new ones could come at an inopportune time. Governments there are rapidly moving against the fuel in favor of electrification. Tighter emissions regulations could also be on the way for the EU. Related Video:
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
