I got this beautiful Cadillac from the original owner a little over a year ago. At that time, the mileage was 18K. It was not driven for five years and was stored properly in his garage. The paint is perfect - showroom original as is the leather interior. There are no dings, dents or body damage of any kind. The only wear visible is to the original top and that was from storing it folded down. There was a small rip that was repaired on the driver's side from getting pinched when folded down. I have a brand new, factory original top still in the box for when the current top isn't serviceable. The dash is perfect, the dash cover is just protection from the sun and is easily removed. There are no issues with the digital dash and the heater and AC work perfectly. I added brand new chrome Allante wheels and brand new tires when I got it and had everything serviced. The brake system was gone through at great expense and the master cylinder was replaced. The BOSE stereo system radio CDM and the four speaker amps were rebuilt and it sounds fantastic. The car has won first place trophies in local car shows and it is a pleasure to drive. The car is mechanically excellent, very well maintained by a master mechanic who is very meticulous, like me. It gets polished every two months and the leather gets treated weekly to maintain its showroom condition. You can buy an Allante for around 6-12K in good condition, then be very surprised when you have to spend many thousands more repairing the stereo system, brakes, etc. I have already done this and have $22K invested. My buy it now price is quite reasonable for this very fine example of a roadster climbing up in desirability and price. The usual disclaimers apply. The car is sold as is where is with no warranty of any kind, expressed or implied. It is not perfect, but what is? It resides in Palm Springs, California and you are welcome to see, drive, inspect and ogle this car if you wish. I welcome any inspection by you or a professional inspector/appraiser, all you need to do is call me to set it up. I will entertain offers, but I am fairly firm on the buy it now price. I can be reached at 702 400-3749 |

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
GM recalls 2014 Cadillac CTS recall
Wed, 02 Jul 2014No, that headline isn't a typo - General Motors has reportedly issued a recall for one of its own recalls. The recall of a recall affects the recall of the 2014 Cadillac CTS, which wasn't supposed to be recalled. Except that the 2014 CTS was supposed to be recalled. Oh no, now we've gone cross-eyed.
Allow us to explain. The redesigned, third-generation CTS Sedan does not feature a faulty ignition switch, while the 2014 CTS Coupe and Wagon, which are based on the second-gen car, do. And as it turns out, there are only 264 of those vehicles included in last week's 8.2-million-unit, ignition-switch recall. Model year 2003 to 2013 CTS Sedans, Coupes and Wagons are still covered.
It's not entirely clear how this, frankly, colossal mistake was made, although we're betting GM is rapidly trying to get to the bottom of this embarrassing issue. Regardless, let's just take what solace we can in there being one less vehicle that GM has recalled this year.
GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."
