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.. |

Ghostbusters director tweets first photos of new Ecto-1
Wed, Jul 8 2015Ghostbusters is heading back to theaters next year with a new look. Rather than bringing back the original's aging comedic actors, four actresses are taking over the starring roles, including Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. Although, one of the movie's major highlights is missing from that list – the Ecto-1. Originally based on a 1959 Cadillac ambulance, we're now getting the first glimpses of the decked-out, ghost-hunting wagon from the new version thanks to director Paul Feig on Twitter. Purists might like that the Ghostbusters are sticking with a Caddy, but the producers are going for a slightly newer, more macabre approach, as well. Rather than an ambulance conversion, the latest one starts as a hearse. Feig also has his Twitter profile picture of a ghost taking over as the hood ornament, and he even tweeted a shot of the rear. @szewcik_james Okay. pic.twitter.com/sHkx1Soj6p — Paul Feig (@paulfeig) July 8, 2015 Being the Internet, Feig is being deluged both with hyperbolic vitriol for changing things, and praise for the switch. He has politely tweeted about the situation. Not blocking or deleting. I hear you all and appreciate all your input, good or bad. Thanks. https://t.co/pxZsWGeNyL — Paul Feig (@paulfeig) July 8, 2015 Keep in mind this Caddy hearse is about as old today as the original Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters' release in 1984. Having the ladies driving a '50s Caddy might stretch the imagination too far even in a movie about fighting the undead. This approach seems like a perfect compromise between old and new.
6 luxury car brands to watch in 2024
Tue, Jan 30 20242023 was a healthy year for the auto industry, and even with incentives returning and dealer lots filling up, there's plenty to like about the market if you build luxury automobiles, and we expect 2024 to be more of the same, which makes luxury-segment rivalries all the more interesting. Top luxury car brand rivalries? Well, that sounds downright uncivilized. But we know better, don't we? And when every quarterly sales update is an opportunity to remind somebody else that they bought the wrong status symbol, well, who can resist? Certainly not the diehard customers who fly their favorite brands' banners high. Read more: Auto sales: Industry records best year since 2019 Read more: 2023 auto sales and 2024 preview: Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler This is a tricky segment to define, but essentially, we're looking at luxury car brands with depth to their portfolios and dealerships that exist to attract real-world customers. The Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and McLarens of the world are luxury cars, certainly, but we're more concerned with brands that have a bit more mass appeal — manufacturers who treat supply constraints as fiascos rather than features. If you disagree with our selections, feel free to let us know in the comments. And since we're mostly concerned with finishing order, the luxury brands and totals featured here may change as new data come in throughout 2024. Due to the wild swings of the past several years, we're treating 2023 as the baseline by which we'll measure sales performance. And rather than rank brands vs. their finishing order in 2022, when supply-chain and inflationary issues still played havoc with sales figures, we're starting 2024 off with a clean slate. The mainstream luxury segment is always a dogfight, but with their varied approaches to electrification all of the major luxury brands are in the midst of reshaping the premium landscape. Who is doing it right? Well, according to U.S. shoppers, the usual suspects are up to their old tricks.
2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport
Mon, 30 Sep 2013Not long after bombing around the Milford Road Course in the new CTS Vsport, Cadillac invited me to try out its other new-for-2014 Vsport model: the XTS. And despite using the same twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS, the Vsport package takes on a whole new meaning here in Cadillac's softer flagship.
In the CTS, this trim perfectly bridges the gap between the standard models and the hardcore CTS-V, and is focused on being the best-driving version of the range without a standalone V badge. The XTS, however, has no proper V model, so the Vsport becomes the new range-topper for that line by default. But unlike the CTS Vsport, which uses rear-wheel-drive architecture and is focused on driving dynamics above all, the XTS is geared toward a much different customer.
The entire XTS experience is far more concerned with plush comfort than handling prowess, and while this Vsport model certainly ups the ante with more power and some mild suspension and steering tweaks, it's not exactly what we'd call a particularly engaging experience. But that doesn't mean it isn't good.
