I won't go into all the fluff other postings have about the 1993 Allante, if you've read one you've read them all.
In addition to this, not a scratch, dent, chip or ding.
Premium Bose symphonic speaker system, but a great speaker system in a convertible, well, you know.
The previous owner put new Michelins on the aluminum wheels.   I replaced them with the Vogues 1-1/4" width whitewall and chrome wheels.  If you can, you should take these almost new tires.  I also have one extra matching Vogue tire, gold ring.   It is really Yellow but saying "Gold" sounds so much more classier.
The A/C has been converted from the old R12 to the new R134 system.  Keep that in mind if you are buying any older car.   Most (including me) did not think of it until I went in for a recharge, and then "SURPRISE".   The CD will not give the disc back, but the car comes with a new still in the box Alpine 6-disc changer.   The right side tailight lense has a small acceptable crack, see photo....the left side curve of the right lense by the license plate.  I also have another less acceptable cracked left tail light lense, which for what these costs (even cracked ones) I can't bring myself to throw away after I replaced it.  I am told it can be repaired, but I don't know how to get to the inside and separate the plastic lense from the housing.
Dash pad, Windblocker, fitted full car cover, extra chrome trim, chrome lower rocker panels, manuals, extra keys.  No Tag, Title, Registration and document fees.  No oil or any other kind of leakage.
I live in the extreme lower SE corner of Missouri.  
$500 deposit into my Pay Pal account, 50% refundable within 10 days of deposit for any or no reason.
The car is not insured, you must show ID and proof of your current insurance if you will be driving it off.
The car is in private storage, so if you want to see it, buy it and drive it off on a weekend, let me know by 3pm Friday.
I don't know exactly what to do about the license plates, as in Missouri the seller keeps the plates. 
I don't want to sell the car but I want to beef up my bucket list account and already have too many cars for one person.
If you want other specific photos of any area of the car, please respond thru eBay with your email address.

Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:

2014 Cadillac ELR leases for $699 a month

Mon, Jan 20 2014

Most Autoblog readers thought the $75,000 price tag on the 2014 Cadillac ELR was too high. If you can't swing the MSRP all in one go, how does a lease price of $699 a month sound? That's the amount that Cadillac is offering on the official ELR website, with some caveats, of course. First off, it appears that this lease price is for just for "current owners and lessees of all 1999 or newer GM vehicles." They will also have to pony up $4,999 at signing (all others will need $5,999). Second, the $699-a-month price is for a 39-month lease. Then, of course, "tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment [are] extra" and "each dealer sets own price." Also, it appears that this lease deal is only good until the end of January. Cadillac started shipping the ELR plug-in hybrid coupe to dealers last month. There are two things to note in the fine print. The most surprising is that the payments are based on "a 2014 Cadillac ELR with an MSRP of $76,000." That's $1,000 more than the official MSRP announced in October. Then we get to the real kicker: The lease limits you to a mere 32,500 miles, which is just 833.3 miles a month. Well, 'limit' isn't the exact word, since you can certainly drive more. All you have to do is pay 25 cents per mile for each mile over 32,500. Drive the national average of 13,476 miles in a year? That comes to 43,797 miles over 39 months, which is 11,297 extra miles and an extra $2,824.25.

Cadillac's de Nysschen won't budge on raised pricing

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

According to new Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen, it will take between 10 and 15 years to elevate GM's top brand, which was once hailed as "The Standard Of The World," back to prominence in the minds of American customers. And to hear the executive talk of it, the brand is going to have to be willing to see sales falter in the near-term before they recover:
"Either you have to bring your volume aspirations into alignment with reality and accept that you will sell fewer cars... Or you have to drop the price and continue to transact at the prices where you were historically... I think the logical conclusion is that it's better to build off a very solid base in terms of [product] credibility, charge a fair price for the car and realize you have to wait until the volume comes."
In other words, sales will fall before they rise, and the brand has to be okay with that. Notice, too, that de Nysschen speaks of "a fair price" for Cadillac cars and utility vehicles. In this case, "fair" means more than many of the brand's traditional buyers are accustomed to, and roughly in line with the brands and machines Cadillac believes it is competing against. For instance, the newly enlarged 2014 CTS carries a suggested retail price that is over $6,000 higher than it was in 2013, and some trim levels boast an even higher price premium over the models they replace.
