I recently purchased this Allante but am now moving to downtown Detroit, where I will not have the room to keep the extra car. My loss, your gain. Terrible time of year to sell a convertible - so act on this deal now!

The Good:
Pinninfarina style! American V8!
The paint looks good for the most part, other than the few issues listed below. The color is vibrant and clear coat is solid and shiny.
This is driver, it's got the miles to prove it. 151,xxx. I bought the car in Green Bay, WI and drove it back to Ann Arbor, MI with no problems at all.
The interior is not perfect, but is nice for the age. The leather has it's worn spots, but is not torn anywhere. The carpet is clean and undamaged. 
The convertible top is clean, works perfectly, and has no tears.
The A/C blows cold! I have never touched the freon, but the computer keeps saying it should be charged. It works great though!
This car has a pretty sophisticated computer monitoring system. It can be accessed with a certain combination of keys. I'm no mechanic, but I am a curious sort so I flipped through all of the options. It seems to report that the engine is healthy. You might be a better judge than I, but it certainly starts and runs like it!
She's a cheap stylish convertible for the summer!

The Bad:
Perfect Allantes go for $10,000. (Can you believe they were $60,000 twenty years ago?) Why is this one so cheap? I'll put the cards on the table and you can decide if the price is right. I'm going to pick apart this car, so you know what you're buying. Please notice none of what is listed below prevents you from putting the top down and cruising! Again, she got me back from WI and hundreds of miles since then.
The WI title was a salvage. I challenge you find evidence of what happened. I could not see where it might have been hit. According to the carfax it happened years ago and the owner continued to drive it for years afterward. Strangely, MI did not issue a salvage title.
The exhaust rattles a bit at idle.
The transmission works fine, but is getting old and shifts slightly rough from time to time.
The suspension too has seen some years. It's floatier than it should be. 
She'll need new tires next season.
The cruise control does not work.
The CD player does not work - on the bright side you get a free CD if you can get it out of the deck.
The passenger window needs help to get up and down.
The front of hood has some big chips in the paint. 
A cable from the latch inside the drivers door frame that actuates the convertible top's boot is broken. It is very easy to actuate manually, you just have to reach inside the car. 
The antenna is stuck up

Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.

2020 Cadillac CT5 finally appears, hopes you think it's a Charger

Thu, Jan 11 2018

This is our first look at what we expect to be the 2 020 Cadillac CT5 sport sedan, a one-to-rule-them-all replacement for the ATS, CTS and XTS. The name follows the scheme set by the CT6 and XT5. The first thing that jumps out about the CT5 is the big hood scoop. We sincerely doubt that scoop will make it to production, and when combined with the scalloped shapes on the car's flanks, we and the spy photographer feel they're probably there to dupe people into thinking it's a weird Dodge Charger. The disguise isn't working, but the scoop surprisingly looks pretty good. Maybe Cadillac should consider putting one on an inevitable V model. Moving past the fake bodywork, we can see that this CT5 takes inspiration from the Cadillac Escala concept. It has the long, almost fastback cabin and extra rear quarter window of that concept. The headlights are slim horizontal units, too, though they still sweep back a bit to bridge the gap between current models and the Escala. We also see that there's a decent amount of distance between the front axle and the base of the A-pillar, so we suspect that the sedan will retain rear-drive and optional all-wheel-drive drivetrains. We don't have any other cars in the image to compare it to, but considering the cars the Cadillac CT5 will replace, we expect it's roughly the size of a CTS, maybe even a touch smaller to satisfy those who want a 3 Series/A4/C-Class size luxury sedan. It will also probably use one or more of the existing powertrains in the Cadillac sedan fleet, which include a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder, naturally aspirated 3.6-liter V6, and a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. We'll also probably see the production model sometime in 2019 since that's when the CTS and ATS will go to the big garage in the sky.

2018 Lincoln Navigator vs luxury SUV rivals: How it compares on paper

Wed, Nov 8 2017

The all-new 2018 Lincoln Navigator is an impressive, luxury-lined beast. However, while its Black Label interior stood out most during our first drive of the new Navigator, it also seemed pretty clear that much of this full-size SUV was superior to the competition in a number of fundamental ways. Its Raptor-sourced 3.5-liter V6 had class-leading power for one, and its third-row seat seemed as spacious and comfortable as its rivals' are cramped and barely usable. To search for your next new vehicle, try Autoblog' s Car Finder. Yet, I wanted to take a closer look at how the Navigator fully compares on paper to its competitors - especially the Cadillac Escalade with which it most directly competes. The below spreadsheet should tell the whole story, but as you can see, there's an awful lot of class-leading green highlighter in the Navigator's column. The cargo volume and third-row legroom numbers are particularly telling, with the latter actually going up to 42.3 inches when you slide the second-row fully forward. Now, a few things to note about the above spreadsheet. The GLS-Class is also available as the GLS 550, which boasts a 4.7-liter V8 that just comes up short to the Navigator with 449 horsepower but has to deal with only 5,578 pounds. Its $94,950 price tag is comparable to the Navigator Black Label. Much of the LX 570's information is also applicable to the Toyota Land Cruiser, which, badge aside, could certainly be considered a member of this segment given its feature content and still-hefty price tag. It has better ground clearance and approach/departure angles than its Lexus sibling, along with an as-indicated lower price. Much of the Escalade's information also applies to the GMC Yukon Denali, while the Infiniti QX80 is applicable to the Nissan Armada.
