You are bidding on a really nice shape 1991 Cadillac Deville with a leak from a crack in the engine block a real crying shame as the car is otherwise in very nice overall shape with very  low mileage(less than 70,000 original ). The car was recently purchased  from the original owner by myself in Florida  for my son  who lives in South Carolina. It was driven from Florida to South Carolina and then shortly the leak occurred.   The mechanics who diagnosed the problem in South Carolina said it happened more than likely because the car sat so much over the years and apparently  this can happen to these 4.9 engines because of that.The car runs and drives great other than the leak which is now getting worse now to the point it shouldn't be driven. Before taking it to my son I had a new headliner put in it (it was sagging due to Florida heat ) .replaced the trunk pull down motor ,replaced the fuel data module ,installed new speakers (4); my son is keeping the aftermarket stereo that is in the car  and the  original radio will go with the car  .the tires are really good  and it has no other leaks (fluid or exhaust ). Everything worked well on the car other than the power antenna ,the A/C had been serviced  and blows cold  the power windows and seats work as they should ,the cruise control worked great as well on the trip from Florida . The interior is in really nice shape with only the drivers seat needing the cover repaired (cracks/seams) and crack in drivers door panel. The car belong to a 90 yr old lady who had to quit driving .If you are mechanically inclined this would make a great car to fix , the engine we were told could possibly be repaired as the crack is only in a water jacket area and not getting into the engine internally to affect how the engine runs,but the engine would have to be removed and this is something my son is not able to do and the cost to do so in a shop is not really practical so he is buying another car instead. The car can be seen at my son's in Bluffton SC  He can be reached at 843 304 1053 or 843 540 2332 his name is Todd.

2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.
Hop on over to Cadillac's consumer page and take a look.

2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
