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..

Cadillac logo losing its wreath?

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

The easily recognizable Cadillac logo dates back to the company's founding in the early 1900s, but over the last 110 years, there has been an on-again, off-again love affair with the wreath surrounding the crest. Cadillac's current badge design has used the wreath since the 1980s, but Automotive News is reporting that GM's luxury division is planning to ditch the laurel wreath for a cleaner-looking logo.
The new logo could make its debut as early as next month on a new concept car that will be revealed at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, although the report also says that it might be until 2015 before it makes its way to a production car. Even then, it doesn't like anything has been finalized yet, as the article also says that plans could still change.
As Cadillac looks to improve its global presence as a luxury automaker, the report says that a simpler logo could make it easier for designers to incorporate the badge onto the car - either in the grille or above the grille (possibly in a fashion similar to Mercedes-Benz). Head on over to the AN article, which shows the Cadillac logo dating back to its earliest design.

GM adds 1,200 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck plant

Thu, Oct 22 2015

General Motors is making a big move at its Hamtramck, MI, factory, announcing it will add a second shift and hire over 1,200 workers within the next several months. It's expected that by early 2016, the factory will employ over 2,800 workers to build the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, Malibu, Cadillac ELR, and by early next year, the new CT6. According to GM Hamtramck spokesperson Courtney Zemke, 40 of the 1,200 positions are for salaried employees, while the remainder will be hourly positions. As for where these employees will go, positions are being made available across the factory, so GM isn't focusing on any particular area for its new hires. It's a similar story behind the hiring surge itself. GM said in its press release that the "second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand," a position Zemke reiterated. It's a matter of demand across the plant's portfolio, rather than any one particular product seriously outstripping supply. Naturally, the United Auto Workers is happy with the move. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest said in the attached release. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." Hiring is going on now, with the second shift slated to get underway in early 2016. GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly to Add Second Shift and More Than 1,200 Jobs Plant will nearly double its workforce by early 2016 2015-10-22 DETROIT – General Motors is nearly doubling its workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly by adding a second shift and more than 1,200 hourly and salaried jobs. The addition of a second shift will increase the plant's workforce to approximately 2,800 people when hiring is completed. The second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand for the five cars produced at Detroit-Hamtramck. "This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Detroit-Hamtramck produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers," said Plant Manager Gary West. Second shift hiring is underway, and the shift is scheduled to begin operations in early 2016. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," said UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." The 4.1 million-square-foot Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly opened in 1985. GM has invested $1 billion in the plant over the last six years, making it one of the company's most-agile manufacturing facilities in North America.

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year

Sat, Dec 27 2014

It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change.
