1988 Cadillac Allante White Pearl Convertible Soft And Hard Top W/red Leather on 2040-cars
Edinburg, Texas, United States
|
This automobile is in very good shape for its age. The engine, transmission and brakes are all very strong. The car was repainted in 2011. A guy hit the left fender in the parking lot at my mechanic. The paint could not be matched so it had to be repainted. It has centerline wheels which will buff to a mirror shine. The car was purchased in San Luis Obispo, Ca and lived in CA until 2005. The leather is soft and shows very little wear. No scuffs or tears. The soft top is serviceable and does not leak, but not very attractive. The air conditioning works but shuts off with the error message "needs refrigerant charge" after about 15 minutes of operation. It is an unconverted R-12 system and cools very well when fully charged. The car has some eccentricities. You cannot lock the car with the electric locks without triggering the alarm system. The passenger door window switch doesn't work, driver's side opens both windows does but switch is reversed. Trunk pulldown doesn't work. Tape deck doesn't work. There is a small chip on the front bumper and a scratch on the driver's side of the rear bumper. Neither photographed well enough to show in pictures. The car has always been garaged and there is only a little surface rust on the undercarriage. Only 2569 of them were made.
I've bought several cars on ebay and was always disappointed in the car when it arrived. I don't want the buyer of this car to be similarly disappointed, so I have tried to list all of this car's frailties as I know them. It is not a show car, but one you can be proud to drive. This car is sold without warranty express or implied, strictly an "as is, where is" sale. I will help the buyer with arranging shipping, or he can pick it up. Sales on ebay form a contract, are final, and should be taken seriously. Membership privileges are always at stake for the non-paying bidder. $500 non-refundable deposit is due 24 hours after closing of the auction with balance in 3 days. Payment accepted by wire transfer (EFT) or Paypal. |

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
Recharge Wrap-up: Free chargers for Canadian ELR buyers, Renovo gets funding for EV supercar
Thu, Sep 18 2014Chevrolet offers versions of its Express passenger van with B20 biodiesel and E85 capability. Customers can buy the van with the Duramax turbodiesel V8, which is compatible with the 20-percent biodiesel blend. There is also a FlexFuel V8, which can use the 85-percent ethanol gasoline blend. It's a great option for shuttling the whole soccer team to practice using renewable fuels. Read more at Domestic Fuels. Early buyers of the Cadillac ELR in Canada will get a 240-volt charger installed at their home for free. It should help convince some buyers to adopt the range extended luxury EV. Cadillac's Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus says, "Professional installation of the fastest home-charging unit is a natural way to mark the introduction of ELR to the luxury market." Read more in the press release below. Renovo has received venture capital funding from California-based True Ventures to build its Coupe electric supercar. The impressive EV, with its 500 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque, is an inspiring vehicle built by a promising company, according to its financial backers. Toni Schneider of True Ventures says that Renovo has "created incredibly advanced technology and a beautiful machine that is well positioned to disrupt the automotive market." Read more in the press release below. Renault says it will build its Fluence ZE electric car in China for an unnamed brand, pending government approval. Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn announced the plan at a test drive event in France on Monday. Renault has a partnership with Dongfeng Motors to build and sell its cars in China. Read more at Reuters. Germany has lifted its ban on Uber. While the German court believes the ride-hailing service is operating illegally without proper licensing for drivers, it says Taxi Deutschland waited too long to file the case against Uber. The taxi association plans to appeal the decision soon. See more in the video below, and read more at The New York Times. A new report from UC Davis claims that a global expansion of public transit could save 1,700 megatons of carbon dioxide yearly and over $100 trillion by 2050. A "high-shift scenario" would be necessary, wherein governments invest in rail and clean buses, expand biking and walking infrastructure and shift focus away from projects that encourage car use. This shift to public transit would especially be important in the US, China and India. Read more in the press release below.
Cadillac to vie for Secret Service armored car contract, new Beast?
Wed, 03 Jul 2013President Obama has used the same armored limo since his inauguration in 2008. Known by many as The Beast, the Presidential Limo was provided by Cadillac and earned its nickname in large part because of its massive size, which isn't surprising considering that its Caddy-shaped bodywork is said to sit atop a heavy-duty truck chassis.
It seems the Secret Service may be in the market for a Beast replacement, having issued a request for proposals for a new armored limo. According to Motor Trend, Obama's backup limo is a leftover from the Bush Administration, so it will be interesting to see if this new machine will serve as a replacement for The Beast or for its backup. The contract is to be awarded by September 29, 2013.
The boys from MT contacted Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler, and Chrysler is the only one that would confirm that it is not pursuing the contract. Cadillac may have the inside track, as it has provided Presidential limos since 1993, but Lincoln also has a long and storied history of chauffeuring the President.
