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. |

2014 Cadillac XTS gets 410-hp twin-turbo V6
Tue, 14 May 2013General Motors told us so back in March, but it is now official: The twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 announced for the 2014 Cadillac CTS will also join the options list for the 2014 Cadillac XTS. The LF3 engine puts out 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque in the XTS, however, which is 10 hp and 61 lb-ft down from its application in the CTS. It will be identifiable from the outside by a specific grille treatment and a badge on the decklid. The 3.6-liter V6 with 304 hp and 264 lb-ft holds steady as the standard engine, and both will be yoked to a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Also new for the front-wheel drive model for 2014 are updates that include electric power steering and optional Automatic Parking Assist that can maneuver the sedan into parallel parking spots. The three trims above standard - Luxury, Premium and Platinum - get Intellibeam headlights that automatically switch between high- and low-beam,
The four current trim levels remain but the list of optional extras for the higher specs grows with a rear-seat entertainment system equipped with DVD screens in the front seatbacks, memory settings for the front passenger seat and an armrest in the back seat fitted with radio and sunshade controls. The press release below has more info on all of the changes.
2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere
Sun, 24 Mar 2013The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders. They're similar to the lighting design first shown on the XTS and ATS, except the lower portions are much taller.
There are also views of the rear end and one of the taillights, as well as an interior shot of the front passenger door. The latter image has us most intrigued, as it shows some very high end materials being used in the new CTS interior. The low-gloss wood trim, in particular, looks very premium.
Cadillac recalls 17,500 SRX CUVs in Canada
Fri, 03 Oct 2014When reporting on recalls, Autoblog generally tries to focus on the US market. However, a recent campaign in Canada seems important enough to be worth mentioning because it could eventually affect American drivers. General Motors is repairing 17,481 Canadian examples of the Cadillac SRX from the 2010-2015 model years because of the possibility of a loose nut in the rear suspension. For the moment, the automaker hasn't yet announced whether the CUV in the US would require a similar campaign.
The notice was dated September 18, 2014, on the website for Transport Canada, similar to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the US. It says, "the rear suspension toe link jam nuts" might not have been sufficiency tightened, which could allow a rear wheel to turn "inboard or outboard" while driving. If this happens, it could cause a sudden change in handling. Canadian Cadillac dealers are inspecting the parts and replacing the toe link if necessary.
This campaign isn't listed on the GM's running recall tally from September, which includes exported models, but it does list four other campaigns for the SRX this year - three in this range of years and one for the 2004-2006 model. Autoblog reached out to the company to ask about the possibility of this recall expanding to the US and were told "We have not publicly announced US recalls" for the issues affecting the SRX. The New York Times was given a similar quote. Scroll down to read the notice from Transport Canada.
