I've been listing cars for the past 12 years for friends, family and other clients who accept my approach. I have 40 yrs experience as a mechanical engineer in the automobile after market. I describe vehicles carefully and accurately, reveal any defects, provide buyers with all available service records and a full set of high resolution photos (link to my photo server will be provided below) including many of the underside of the vehicle--something 99% of eBay sellers would rather you not know about apparently. Thats where a lot of the money gets spent on a used car--especially a 50 yr old one! 1965 Cadillac DeVille base convertible I'm listing this impressively maintained '65 DeVille for a car-enthusiast client for whom I've sold several other spectacular vehicles including a Maserati and a 7-series BMW. This gentleman maintains his cars to an extremely high standard as you will see from the photos. He bought this one to use at his FL residence where it has been kept for the past 10 yrs. It's always been garaged and kept very current on service since it was his daily driver in FL. Service work for past 10 yrs has been performed by Anchor Rd. Auto Care in Naples. The underside of the car shown in many photos shows completely corrosion free with new brake lines, fittings, brake cables, the bottom has been carefully sealed and undercoated. The paint is exceptional--note not even a chip can be found in the leading edge of the hood. The top has been replaced and sports a spotless glass rear window. It's not been up much as this car has been driven 'open' on nice days in Naples and stored in a climate controlled garage. Additional high-resolution photos available at:

There is classic push-button AM-FM radio which works fine, a GM original climate control system which blows very cold air. The power seat controlled by the driver works fine. The door mirrors are manually adjustable. The trunk opens with the ignition key. The hood opens directly from outside--I guess people were more trustworthy in the 60's? Things like cruise control, adjustable steering wheels, even headlight dimmers were still a ways off on the horizon apparently.
Hagarty Notes For 1965, Cadillac announced a new De Ville series — now with a capital “D” —that included a convertible and pillared sedan for the first time. This full slate of new De Ville models effectively replaced the former Series 62 line. Subtly but superbly detailed, the 1965 Cadillacs utilized a new perimeter-frame chassis while retaining a 129.5-inch wheelbase. At the front, dual stacked headlamps were featured; at the rear, only a suggestion of fins remained. About the seller I make a living by providing accurate descriptions of the vehicles I list for family, friends and estates. I am not a dealer but I do have have clear title to the vehicle and the authority from the owner to complete the transaction. I will gladly provide any additional details you may require to make an informed bidding decision. 3rd party inspections are welcome. Note that I include pictures of the underside of the car--where much the money gets spent on used cars--information that most sellers apparently would rather not share with you. I am a mechanical engineer with 40 yrs experience in the vehicle industry aftermarket. I’ve raced, toured, modified, repaired and restored motorcycles and cars as a lifetime hobby. I sell vehicles for friends and family. I take full responsibility for my descriptions and enjoy a good reputation by making sure there are no surprises at delivery. I am not a dealer so there are no junk fees, no free TV’s, and no suspenseful consultations with “the sales manager” (that’s me)! Fly into Cleveland (CLE) or Akron Canton (CAK) and I’ll pick you up in your new airport limo! Scammers? Don’t even think about it! I do not do bundled shipping. I don’t care if you are in the merchant marine or your late dad was the president of Sri Lanka--if you don’t have a PayPal account we aren’t doing business, period. And furthermore, please practice your English on more gullible sellers. The boiler rooms you guys call from are so noisy these days I can hear your buddies in the background asking the same stupid scammer questions: “So why are you selling your... ‘item’…” The last scammer who tried to snag my e-mail is probably still trying to figure out how he got 250,000 messages about aluminum siding and free ginzu knives back in his mail. (It helps having a friend with a pHd in computer security). Bidders' Qualifications: Feedback less than 10? You must me an e-mail with your phone number so we can discuss my terms and conditions. I welcome legitimate international bidders and have sent vehicles to Europe and the middle east but please contact me before bidding to discuss your shipping plans. |

2017 Cadillac XT5 will debut in Dubai
Tue, Sep 8 2015Cadillac confirmed the 2017 XT5 crossover – the replacement for the SRX – will officially debut at the Dubai Motor Show in November. The XT5 will then make its first North American appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show later that month. The current SRX is a hugely important vehicle for Cadillac – it's still the company's best-selling product worldwide. But it's pretty old now, having launched in 2009 as a 2010 model. The XT5 will bolster all of the good things about the SRX while finally bringing that product up to date. Above, you can see a spy shot of what looks to be the new XT5, caught during a photo shoot. "The XT5 will be the cornerstone of a series of crossovers bearing the 'XT' designation," Cadillac said in a statement. We've long known that Cadillac wants to add a CUV between the XT5 and its flagship Escalade. But we think there's also room for something smaller – a proper fighter to the expanding entry-level luxury crossover segment that includes the Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, upcoming Infiniti QX30, and more. We'll have more information on the 2017 XT5 this week. In addition to the auto show news, Cadillac confirmed it will have a few photos and details to share in the coming days. Stay tuned.
No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan
Sat, Jul 22 2017Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

GM extending warranties on Cadillac CTS-V and Chevy Camaro ZL1 for supercharger issue
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Okay General Motors, we've sat by and watched you recall the compact cars, crossovers and pickup trucks, and aside from reporting on it, we've been fairly quiet. This, though, this will not do. We can almost tolerate the recalls on the bread-and-butter cars, but leave the performance vehicles alone.
According to a report from The Car Connection, GM has discovered a problem with the superchargers of the 6.2-liter V8s found in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and the Cadillac CTS-V. Apparently, the issue rests around the internal bearing shaft grease, which can become contaminated (we aren't sure with what). If left unchecked, it'll first lead to a rattle at idle, which goes away under slight throttle. The real warning stage is when a high-pitched squeal develops, signaling that the bearing shaft has failed. Naturally, severe engine damage is the next step (although it's possible that the engine will also just refuse to turnover, although neither case is desirable).
According to TCC, GM will replace the superchargers on vehicles that have exhibited symptoms of bearing shaft failure free of charge. It will also, allegedly, be extending the warranty on all supercharged ZL1s and CTS-Vs to 10 years or 120,000 miles (whichever comes first), from the date of purchase. Officially, only 2009 to 2013 CTS-Vs and 2012 to 2013 ZL1s are suffering from this issue.
