Sanford, Maine, United States
|
Up for auction is this 1989 Cadillac Allante Convertible with removable hard top. 4.5 LTR V-8, auto fully loaded. Pearl white with burgandy leather interior. It has a little over 220 thousand miles. Body is in nice shape with the exception of a ding on the hood and a small dent on the bottom front of the drivers door. Here is the story. A friend of ours purchased this car in early 2003 for his wifes personal driver. She drove it regularly in the good months up until late 2009. She needed a car with more room so she bought a Lincoln and put this car up. We recently aquired this car in a trade. Battery was low so we jumped the car and drove it home. The only thing we noticed was the brakes were a little hard when applied and we figured it was from just sitting so long without use. Planned on going thru it anyway. Motor ran great, trans shifted fine, car handled nice. We let the car sit for aprox a month, brought it in the garage to install a new battery, do a tune up and clean the car. I figured this would be a good spring and summer driver. Then the nightmare began. We installed the new battery, cleaned the car, went to drive it out and it started but only ran for about 10 seconds. On the second try it almost started but acted like it was out of fuel. I didnt bother with it until the next day. It started instantly, ran for the 10 seconds and wouldnt start again. I figured maybe the fuel pump was acting up or the fuel guage wasnt right. So the next day I put a couple of gallons of fuel in, jacked up the car to tap on the fuel tank to try to jar the fuel pump to kick in. Went to turn the car over and it wouldnt. All lights came on etc but no turn over. I had my son in law come over that night to try and diagnose the problem. He jumped the starter wires and the starter turns over fine, just not turning by the key which worked all the other times until now. He tested all the relays he could find and they checked out ok. He checked the fuse panel in the console and that was fine. He said there were bigger fuses in the trunk area but the key doesnt work the trunk and the power button isnt working for the release. He figures it could be a relay to the starter but doesnt know where its located. Also could be theft deterient lock out. All I know is I dont have time or the patience to deal with this. I got a lot more money in the car then I should so I am going to sell it as is with no reserve and take my lumps. If you are handy at electrical problems or dealing with issues like this then go for it. Only bid if your willing to follow through with the sale.

2013 Cadillac ATS Premium 2.0T 6MT
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The new Cadillac ATS is an impressive sport sedan, often considered one of the most serious threats to the BMW 3 Series. Unlike GM's previous attempts, this four door brings aggressive styling, commendable chassis dynamics and class-leading handling to the highly competitive battle. And, like its daunting German foe, Cadillac offer several powertrain choices.
I recently spent time with the ATS 2.0T Premium on my home California turf. Fitted with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited-slip rear differential, my tester was lightly optioned, with only a paint upgrade and a cold weather package. That brought the as-tested price to $46,305, configured the way I imagine most enthusiasts would prefer. This meant I fully expected to enjoy a week with a tossable sport sedan that boasted "fun-to-drive" as its middle name, but all was not well...
Driving Notes
2015 Cadillac Escalade on sale in April priced at $71,695*
Thu, 23 Jan 2014With the fourth-generation Cadillac Escalade set to go on sale in April, Cadillac has released the pricing data for its fullsize luxury SUV. While there's no retail configurator yet, the data posted on AOL Autos - and confirmed by Cadillac - shows that the 2015 Escalade will have a starting price of $71,695 (*not including $995 for destination).
This new starting price is about $8,000 more than the outgoing model, but Cadillac is quick to point out that the latest 'Slade is packed with more standard equipment in the new base Standard trim that actually puts it more on par with the midlevel Premium trim on the 2014 model (currently priced at $73,245). These new standard features include Magnetic Ride Control, LED headlights and taillights and 20-inch wheels.
Stepping up to the 2015 Escalade Luxury, the price increases to $75,695 and includes added equipment like 22-inch wheels, head-up display, power fold-and-tumble second-row seats and safety systems such as forward collision warning and lane departure warning. The top-rung 2015 Escalade Premium will start at $80,195 adding features such as a rear-seat entertainment system, illuminated exterior door handles and the Driver Assist Package consisting of front and rear automatic braking and adaptive cruise control.
Cadillac to add small sedan, crossover as part of major product blitz
Tue, Jan 13 2015Cadillac will add a small sedan and a compact crossover to its lineup in the next several years as part of an ambitious product blitz that will remake its lineup. The sedan will slot below the ATS, which is currently Cadillac's smallest four-door car. It's scheduled to arrive in 2017, Cadillac president Johan de Nysschen told Autoblog at the Detroit Auto Show. The sedan will be followed late that year or in early 2018 by a compact crossover, which will be positioned below the SRX. The crucial redesign of the SRX – Cadillac's top seller – arrives in 2016. It will switch to the brand's new naming system and change to an "XT" prefix followed by a number. The naming scheme debuts on the CT6, which launches in late 2015 and will be positioned above the CTS and XTS sedans. Cadillac also wants to add another crossover that sits between the SRX and its flagship SUV, the Escalade, at some point. Further out, Cadillac's long-awaited Mercedes-Benz S-Class fighter could arrive around 2020, and it would serve as the flagship or "showcase of the brand," de Nysschen said. Cadillac is also looking to expand its powertrain portfolio and is contemplating a wide range of options, including hybrids, plug-in electric vehicles and diesel engines. The new cars and crossovers are part of a $12-billion investment in Cadillac, which de Nysschen described as "an unheard level of capital" from General Motors. In total, the brand will receive eight new products through 2020. "Our product offensive will provide the substance for our ambitions," he said. De Nysschen has set high goals – and made major changes – at Cadillac since he took over the 113-year-old luxury brand in September. The brand moves to a separate headquarters in New York this year, away from GM's base in Detroit, and it has switched advertising agencies in a bid to elevate its image. Cadillac's sales declined 6.5 percent in the United States in 2014 to 170,750 units, and it has the smallest volume of GM's four brands. "Here in the US we continue to make progress, but we also face challenges," de Nysschen said. He added the brand's lineup "clearly limits our growth opportunities in the US market." Still, de Nysschen is taking the long view for Cadillac, noting it took years to turn around Audi, where he was president of its US operations for eight years. Cadillac's global sales have inched up five percent globally this year, spurred by a 47-percent surge in China.
