Here is the story on this Allante.  If you see my large positive feedback I know how to describe things.  This cadillac was purchased at bellevue cadillac in wa state where it has been its whole lift.  In 1990 it was sold for $41,000 to the second owner who always had it serviced at cadillac dealerships expect for oil changes.  All the receipts (seems to be everything ever done) were crammed in the glove box along with several of the original sales persons business cards.  It seems he past away and left the car to his wife in 1998.  Car had 79,000 at that point.  It had 79500 when I acquired it from the estate.  Amazingly the car started right up.  I have driven it about 2000 miles so far and have had the following done at the dealer or a well established shop.  Front brakes are resurfaced and new pads $150 .  New rear calipers and rotors and pads.  $475...Cleaned fuel injectors $150 new AC Delco pugs and wires $175 and a new fuel filter $185.  New power source $100 (these fail causing light to flicker in instrument panel)  New pioneer blue tooth radio with pioneer three way speakers (way way better than stock without the expensive head aches of all the mini amps)  $300. New Airtex fuel pump $200. New AC compressor and belt $200.  Just today had the new accumulator and new refrigerant put in.  Way cheaper than the old expensive kind.  $400.  New drivers side window motor $100 and car was professionally buffed, waxed and the door handles and mirrors were autobody shop painted.  So about $2200 put in.  And these prices are me buying the parts online and using Autozone 20% specials and my mechanic puts them in.  If you went to a typical shop it would cost much more,  I did in the beginning have the GMC dealership inspect the Cadillac and that cost me about $200.  I have all paper work and all parts are still under warranty. I have original manual and even the Motorola manual for the $1295 option cell phone in the glove box.  I see many Allantes on here in the same price range but none have as much current maintenance work as mine. 

It leaks nothing at all, Runs fine all day in Seattle's current 90 degree weather and never runs hot,  AC system is completely new, Has the cool old $1200 Vogue tires that aren't weathered and have plenty of good tread 80%, All power functions in the seats work, as do the headlight washers, cruise control and all lights in visors and thru out the car. No rust, no scratches or chips anywhere in any of the glass.  Power mirrors function, Convertible top is like brand new and hard top is perfect.  No stains in carpet or tears.  Headliners  in both tops are 100% perfect and rear defrosters work.  Car starts perfectly ever time and never smokes anything even after sitting for a week. 

Only issues are the automatic trunk closer motor doesn't power on, the twilight sensor doesn't work and the brake light on dash is stuck on for some reason.  There are dark spot in the information center screen but all Allantes seem to have this issue.  Those are only issues in the whole car..

Canada opens probe into 250,000 GM pickups, SUVs over brake performance

Sun, Jun 23 2019

Transport Canada, the auto safety regulator, has opened a probe into braking issues in nearly 250,000 General Motors full-size pickups and SUVs after U.S. officials launched a similar probe last year, the agency said on its website. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in November into 2.73 million U.S. 2014-2016 model year SUVs and pickups after receiving 487 reports of hard brake pedal effort accompanied by extended stopping distance that were attributed to deterioration of the engine-driven brake assist vacuum pump. Transport Canada's probe covers 249,700 2015 through 2017 model year vehicles including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon as well as 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado LD and GMC Sierra LD vehicles. The U.S. agency said it had reports of nine incidents of vehicles incurring damage as a result of colliding with another vehicle or fixed object at low speeds and reports of two injuries. NHTSA said if the pump fails to operate, the amount of brake power assist can be significantly reduced, extending vehicle stopping distance. The NHTSA sent GM an information request in a Feb. 7 letter. A GM spokesman said he had no update on the investigation. Reporting by David Shepardson; editing by Jonathan Oatis

Cadillac planning more Vsport models

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

There's a new intermediate class of luxury performance cars emerging. Audi has been doing it for years with its S-line bridging the gap, in many cases, between the standard fare and the full-on RS performance range. BMW's getting in on it with the M Sport line slotting in below the full M models. And now Cadillac is joining the fun with its Vsport offerings.
Models like the CTS Vsport and XTS Vsport are packing a new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 410 or more horsepower (along with bigger wheels and brakes) to slot in between the standard model and any impending V variant. Well, it appears Cadillac isn't about to stop there.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Cadillac product chief Hampden Tener revealed that, based on the response to the XTS Vsport, the brand is planning more Vsport models. He did not, however, indicate which would be the next to get the slightly sportier treatment. With the full ATS-V expected to pack a version of the same engine powering the aforementioned XTS and CTS Vsport models, an ATS Vsport would have to pack a smaller engine to fit in below. That only leaves the SRX crossover, Escalade SUV and the upcoming ELR hybrid. Food for thought.

GM will expand Super Cruise to entire U.S. lineup after 2020

Wed, Jun 6 2018

General Motors plans to bring its Super Cruise semi- autonomous highway driving technology to its entire U.S. lineup after it rolls it out to all Cadillac vehicles in 2020. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president for global product development, made the announcement at the Intelligent Transportation Society of America conference in Detroit. Automotive News reports he also announced plans to offer vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in a high-volume Cadillac crossover by 2023 — technology that will also eventually spread across the luxury brand's portfolio. Super Cruise is GM's semi-autonomous, lane-centering driving system that uses lidar mapping, GPS, cameras and sensors. The system offers hands-free driving on the highway, with an infrared camera and lights that track the driver's head position to make sure the driver is paying attention, ready to take over when needed, and not nodding off. If it senses the driver is unresponsive, it can bring the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder and activate OnStar. Super Cruise is already an option on the 2018 CT6 and standard on the Platinum trim model. You can read our First Drive review of the technology here. Meanwhile, Cadillac launched vehicle-to-vehicle technology in the 2017 CTS sedan, allowing equipped Cadillacs to share information regarding speed, direction and location at distances of up to 980 feet to help avoid collisions. By going one step further with V2X, Cadillac can tip off drivers to hazardous road conditions, the status of traffic lights, work zones and threats of crashes. It's the first major announcement from the luxury brand since the departure of former CEO Johan de Nysschen and his replacement by Steve Carlisle in April.
