     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.

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue

Sun, Jan 4 2015

General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.

Such Sweet Sorrow: Cadillac's CTS-V gets an Irish wake

Wed, Nov 26 2014

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The honkin', stonkin' second-generation CTS-V, powered by Cadillac's brawny supercharged 6.2-liter V8 has been a very good thing. And now that the 500 final coupes – the only CTS-Vs designated 2015 models – have been built (just five remain unsold as of this writing), it is indeed a good thing that's come to an end. But Cadillac is not letting 2009–2015 CTS-V go gently into that good night, even as its replacement is poised to debut in just in just two months at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Instead, Cadillac invited us to Austin's Circuit of the Americas racetrack for what it called an "Irish wake" for the model that has proven to be one of the quickest and most charismatic models in General Motors' history. If you don't know what an Irish wake is, if you envision storytelling, songs, debauchery and more than a little liquor, you'll be in the ballpark. In this case, though, adrenaline substituted in for the booze, with squealing tires and shrieking V8s providing the singing. The debauchery took the form of an all-you-can-drive lapping of COTA in all three bodystyles – coupe, sedan and wagon – and the stories were told by the grins plastered on our faces all day. First and foremost, we'll miss the CTS-V's perfect balance of luxury and sportiness. Even after six years with no major changes, the CTS-V is surprisingly spry. Certainly, you never forget that it's a heavy thing, weighing in anywhere between 4217 pounds for the manual-equipped coupe to 4424 for an automatic wagon, but with 0-60 times of about four seconds and the ability to hit about 150 mph on COTA's back straight, the Vs remain an absolute hoot on the track. Sure, some of its details – the blocky front fascia shapes and the spoiler on the sedan and coupe models, for example – look a bit dated, but the overall design still looks sufficiently badass. The interior design has worn pretty well, too, and however Cadillac may feel about center stack buttons being so last decade, we favor them over the capacitive-touch madness of today's CUE system. We're not going to bother doing another full review of the car here, but suffice it to say, there is plenty we will miss. First and foremost, will be the CTS-V's perfect balance of luxury and sportiness. Rumor has it that Cadillac will offer the 6.2-liter LT4 V8 in the next generation (we predict about 600 hp), but we hear that the new car will skew more toward luxury than balls-out performance.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe priced from $37,995*

Thu, 15 May 2014

Cadillac has released pricing details on its new-for-2014 ATS Coupe. The new model, which will be available with buyer's choice of a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V6 (the ATS Sedan's base 2.5 won't be making the trip) can be had with optional all-wheel-drive in place of the standard rear-wheel setup, while customers can also snag a six-speed manual or six-speed auto.
Prices start at $37,995, which represents a $2,900 premium over the 2014 ATS Sedan (pricing on the 2015 four-door isn't available yet) with the same 2.0-liter engine. Still, the ATS Coupe starts at just over $2,500 less than a base BMW 428i, which is also less powerful and offers less standard equipment. The Caddy is also less costly than the Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe, although only by about $200. It's even cheaper than the Audi A5, which starts at $38,105, but that model includes all-wheel drive as standard. It should be noted that these prices are without their respective destination charges (*$995 for the Caddy, $925 each for the BMW and the Mercedes and $895 for the Audi).
Unfortunately, Cadillac hasn't released any additional pricing information beyond what we have here, so we can't tell you how much things like all-wheel drive, an automatic transmission or the 321-horsepower V6 will cost. That makes it difficult to figure out just how reasonable the ATS Coupe will be relative to its challengers, but so far, the value equation looks to be in the car's favor. When those full details roll in, though, you know where to look. Scroll down for the official press release from Cadillac.
