1992 Cadillac Allante Base Convertible 2-door 4.5l on 2040-cars
Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
|
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 2014When 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.
Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k
Fri, 08 Aug 2014General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.

Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
Cadillac boss: Don't ask why we have so many sedans
Tue, Dec 1 2015Ugh, crossovers. Car-based, high-riding station wagons, for some reason, sell in absurd numbers and make automakers lots and lots of money. That's why automakers with a strong lineup of CUVs are running strong, while sedan-heavy brands are struggling. Cadillac is all too aware of this fact. While the company is preparing to launch the new CT6 luxury sedan, it's also realizing four sedans, a coupe, a crossover, and a $73,000, old-school, body-on-frame SUV does not a healthy lineup make. Worse, though, as Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen rued during the LA Auto Show, is that the new CT6 is joining a segment already oversaturated. While it's a big, expensive vehicle, it's not much bigger or more expensive than the CTS and XTS sedans. "Please don't ask me why we have three cars in the same segment," de Nysschen said, stopping midway through an interview with Automotive News on the CT6's market placement to make the crack. "That's a whole different subject." As for those CUVs, the new XT5 debuted in LA, and it will eventually be joined by another much-needed CUV in 2018, AN reports. Related Video:
