     I continue to keep all types of cool cars her at my store in Charleston S.C. and about 3 times a year I get an Allante in stock.  Over the years I have learned what to pay attention to on these vehicles!  The abs pump, the pull down system for the both the front and rear of the top, the instrument cluster lights and fitting of doors and door panels and I'm sure I've forgotten a few items but these have always been the most common.   All of those items are great and the only fault I can give the car is I think the amp for the radio is starting to go, The radio works when it wants to and clicks when the car radio has been on for awhile, The area around the amps and wiring is dry so I know it isn't a moisture issue.   I will give it some attention this week and i'm pretty sure I can figure it out.   Both windows operate very well, The cruise works, power locks are fine and don't buzz, A.C. is very cold and has had a recent service here in town at the dealer, tires are pretty much new, no curb rash on the wheels, heat works well, dash lights up better than any one of these I've ever had and all lights come on when you crank the car and then go off after start up is complete.  Abs and anti-lock system works well,  Info display reads clearly and works.


  Car has had 2 owners and it has lived in Charleston since new.  No rust or leaks to speak of, car has plenty of power and transmission shifts as it should.  All fluids where clean before I received the car and all I did was check them.  The  soft pull on the trunk works correctly and all tools and spare with the wire running through it are all there..Car seems to have repainted some years back and it was a high quality job.  Not sure why it was repainted as it is the original color and there is not any signs of an accident that would require a respray.  The body has about 7 or eight light nicks from time that I have fine brush touched but nothing major and they weren't that noticeable to start with.  Soft top is in nice shape and doesn't seem to need attention. I do have the quarter sections that go on the vehicle when the top is down.  They had some nicks on them so I am having them resprayed.   Seats are in superb shape and they are in no way on the dry side, they are still supple and still carry a nice leather smell.  The dash has a very slight bit of warping in each corner but nothing even close to make it worth tending to.   I do not have the hardtop but if the previous owner gets back to me and lets me purchase it from him you are welcome to it.  He has not contacted me back and the dealership is doing what they can to help.  I might get it for free so I am being patient.  I wonder how many of these hardtops are sitting in garages across the country ?


   There are not any warning lights on once car is ready to drive and other than the items I have mentioned I feel confident that at my reserve and buy it now (both of which will be very fair for seller and buyer ) I have covered all important areas of this car.   I sell quite a few special cars on E-bay and I enjoy the process so please know I am not going to waste my time incorrectly describing a car only to then receive bad feedback.  We ship cars to all over the world to customers at least 3 times a month so if you need assistance please email me your zipcode and I can get you a quote.  Please feel free to call me also 1 843 568 0547 Chris.

2019 Cadillac XT4 interior has actual buttons, no more touch-sensitive panel

Thu, Feb 22 2018

Cadillac makes some highly stylish cars that are excellent to drive. In the realm of infotainment, there was room for improvement. The CUE infotainment system is infamous for being complex and annoying. One particular sore point was the touch-sensitive panels used for basic functions and their unrefined, "haptic feedback" clunk. Thankfully, spy photos show that Cadillac is changing tack both with buttons and infotainment controls in general. As seen above, there don't appear to be any capacitive buttons in sight. Instead, the XT4 has the "piano-key" buttons that are in vogue now. The most prominent are metal-finish buttons that control climate settings indicated by corresponding symbols above the buttons. Below that are additional buttons for seat controls and at least one safety feature, the parking warning. These should be vastly easier to manipulate than tapping and hoping you've engaged the correct function. This doesn't mean there won't be any touch-sensitive controls available, but they've at least been minimized. Other physical controls we spotted are down on the center console near the shifter. It looks as though the CT6's odd touchpad won't be making an appearance in the XT4 as there seems to be a more conventional knob instead. If it's indeed for the infotainment system, it would be a redundant controller as the upper screen's home button and fingerprints would indicate it's very much touch-operated. Like other Cadillacs and GM products in general, it's safe to say that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will be available and possibly standard. There are a couple other interesting additions besides the physical controls. There's a Near Field Communications (NFC) logo embossed in the dashboard, indicating the car will support NFC pairing of phones. The XT4 also dispatches the more traditional mechanical shifter for a more modern monostable joystick like the found in some Buicks, but with a different shape. We're currently expecting the XT4 to be revealed late in 2018. It will be based on the Chevy Malibu platform, it'll probably stick with turbocharged four-cylinder power, and offer front- and all-wheel drive.

Here's your chance to own a 7.0-liter V8-powered, stick-shifted Cadillac Catera

Wed, Jul 22 2020

Cadillac never stuffed a V8 engine into the Catera, the entry-level model it sold in the United States from 1997 to 2001, so American tuner Lingenfelter stepped in and offered to perform the conversion. One of the few cars it dropped an eight-cylinder into is for sale, and the bigger engine is just one of many modifications performed on it. Listed on auction site Bring a Trailer, this 2001 Catera lost its V6 soon after it was leased to its first owner in Warren, Michigan. Lingenfelter replaced the 3.0-liter V6 with a 5.7-liter V8 and ditched the automatic transmission in favor of a six-speed manual, but that wasn't enough; the owner sent it back for more. It left the shop again with a custom-built, 7.0-liter V8 between its fenders. It's essentially a Chevrolet Corvette C5.R-based block topped with LS6 heads, an LS6 intake, and a less restrictive exhaust. Its horsepower and torque outputs aren't available, unfortunately, but we assume the V8 easily doubles the stock Catera's 200-horse output. Cadillac marketed the Opel-built Catera as the Caddy that zigs, not as the Caddy that humiliates hot rods on a drag strip, so additional modifications were required to keep the V8's power in check. Highlights include a limited-slip differential, a lowered suspension with bigger sway bars, and beefier brakes all around. At one point in its life, this Catera also received 17-inch alloy wheels, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a sprinkling of V emblems. Although engine swaps are often hit or miss, this Catera has spent approximately 18 years and 40,000 miles with a V8 under its hood, so it's apparently a solid, well-thought-out build. It currently has 42,000 miles on its odometer, and it's located in Michigan. Bidding stands at $6,250 as of this writing, with five days left in the auction. It won't stay in the four-digit range for long, and it might end up costing as much as a late-model ATS-V, but when are you going to find another one like it?
