This 1998 Cadillac DeVille D'Elegance is from the estate of a lifelong friend who passed away in January 2014.  Purchased brand new in late 1997 from the local Cadillac dealer, this one-owner beauty has been meticulously maintained by the same owner and same dealer since new.  It is a non-smoker car that has been garage kept its entire life, and it shows.  When I pulled it out of the garage, I rinsed the light dust off of it and that's all I did.  She was so particular about her car that she has rubber mats over the carpeted mats.  The interior is immaculate.  Close inspection shows some very slight wear on the driver's seat bolsters (outside edge) from getting in and out, but you've got to look close.  There is no interior odor and, again, I didn't touch the interior prior to taking the photos.  

On the outside, it's unbelievable for a '98 model car.  There are a few slight pecks and dings, but hardly noticeable.  That's the beauty of a White car.  Curiously, the thin bright silver trim that circles the car within the side molding has some spots on some of the pieces, most noticeable on the left rear door, but I really don't think it's a distraction to the otherwise stunning appearance.  The Michelin tires look nearly brand new and the thin White stripe really sets off the dazzling chrome aluminum wheels.  Unlike the faux chrome wheels that automakers use today, these are genuine chromed aluminum wheels, exclusive to the d'Elegance model, and none have any curb damage.

Mechanically, it starts and runs perfectly.  The battery looks fairly new, but I can't be sure how old it is.  I only drove it a few miles, but checked everything out that I could.  The HVAC system operates great, all of the instrumentation is bright and functioning properly, the radio and CD player sound beautiful.  I didn't have a cassette to try, however, but would guess it works fine, too.  The d'Elegance model has rear seat sun visors and I did notice that the vanity mirror light didn't work on the left rear one.

There could be other things wrong with the car, as would be the case with any used vehicle, but you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer 1998 model car of any description, in my opinion.  Automakers don't make roomy, great riding, comfortable cars like these anymore.  For the money, this is a lot of car!

Of course, it is being sold As Is, Without Warranty.  Buyer assumes all risks.  It is impossible to know everything about a used car, or what might happen to it in the future, but from what I know about this one, who owned it, and how it was taken care of, I would not hesitate to load my family in it and go anywhere.

You are welcome to have it inspected by anyone you choose.  It has a clear, open title.  The title shows the previous title number to be the MSO.  The title was issued on 12/04/1997 and it had 89 miles on the odometer.  It has all of the original owner's manuals and glove box materials.  It has the two original ignition keys (one gold) with built in chip and several door keys (one gold).  It has one remote fob, and it works fine (the family could only find one fob).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I would like to be paid within 3 days of auction close.   Cash,  cashiers check or wire transfer preferred.  Buyer is responsible to pick up the car.  It is located in Stuttgart, Arkansas 72160.

Thanks so much for looking!

Cadillac XT3 caught covered in copious camouflage

Wed, Feb 15 2017

While a bit difficult to tell thanks to the impressive camouflage used, what we're looking at here is likely the upcoming Cadillac XT3. There are a few details that stand out to lend credence to this prediction. There are a handful of sharp angles scattered throughout that are in line with Cadillac's modern design language. Specifically in the LED running lights and on the side mirrors. The rear profile also is reminiscent of the current, and slightly larger XT5. The rear lights extend into the D-pillars, which would match the current Escalade. We get a pretty clear picture of the rear suspension on this XT3. It's clearly an independent rear suspension using coil springs. While General Motors uses independent suspension on some of its crossovers, we can't quite match it to a particular model. We believe that if the XT3 is based on an existing model (which it almost certainly is), the platform and suspension have been substantially modified. The XT3 could use a version of the D2XX platform that underpins the Buick Envision. However, we know from a previous report that the XT3 will likely be built at the factory that produces the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Malibu. The XT5 uses a modified version of the LaCrosse/Malibu platform, so it's possible the XT3 could use a shorter version of the XT5 chassis. Depending on how small the XT3 ends up being, it might even share a platform with the Chevy Trax and Buick Encore. However, considering their economy car roots and torsion-bar rear suspension, we think that's the least likely. Regardless of what chassis is underneath its crisp bodywork, we expect the XT3 to be released sometime next year. Related Video:

Here are all the cars GM is axing as part of its restructuring

Tue, Nov 27 2018

GM plans to kill off a couple of great and a few meh cars as part of its restructuring. Here's a rundown of all the cars being phased out of production. None of the vehicles GM axed were SUVs or crossovers. Instead, it was an action reminiscent of what Ford recently decided to do by discontinuing U.S. sales every Blue Oval sedan. GM just didn't explicitly say, "We're killing our cars," like Ford did — probably a smart move by GM. Keep scrolling down to see the full list of deceased GM models. Chevrolet Volt This one was the most surprising of all the cars GM decided to can, primarily because cars with plugs are supposed to be our future. However, maybe consumer demand just isn't quite there yet for a plug-in like the Volt. We came up with all sorts of ideas for what was to blame for the untimely demise of the Volt, so go check that out for a full breakdown of the situation. Cadillac CT6 Here's another car we'll be sad to see go. Cadillac's flagship sedan was such a joy to drive, and it served as the conduit to deliver GM's semi-autonomous Super Cruise system, which still hasn't been surpassed by any other company's technology in our books, even Tesla's Autopilot. That being said, GM does plan to produce the CT6 until March, with the last cars coming off the line set to be twin-turbo V8 V-Series models. If it's going to go, this seems like a pretty great way to make an exit. We'll be patiently awaiting the next flagship Cadillac once this one finally fades away. Chevrolet Impala The Impala is actually a pretty good car. It doesn't sell terribly, and we think it's a completely satisfactory car to drive. However, people would rather have a Traverse or Equinox these days, making the Impala one of the vehicles to find itself on this list. Chevrolet is keeping its smaller brother, the Malibu, but a big, full-size sedan just isn't what people are ordering up these days. It's unfortunate to see it go, but we won't be broken up over it. Chevrolet Cruze We wouldn't rank the Cruze at the top of the compact car class, but if you were looking for a small, cheap American car, it was either this or the Focus. The Cruze had the potential to be a true small performance car if Chevy had ever wanted to make it into one. But sadly, we're seeing it bow out before Chevy ever tried to slot a hot engine and suspension in there to make it competitive with other hot hatches. A Cruze SS would have made enthusiasts take notice.

GM will likely build PHEV batteries in China soon

Wed, Jul 27 2016

It's a big week for batteries. Friday, Tesla will hold a big event at its Gigafactory in Reno, NV. But even in Michigan, there are things happening on the electrified automotive front. This was proven when GM invited journalists to its Brownstown Battery Assembly Plant today, highlighting the six different battery packs it makes for nine vehicles around the world (plus a tenth, coming to Asia, that has not yet been announced). During our tour, we learned a few interesting tidbits that we thought readers would like to hear: The Cadillac CT6 plug-in hybrid launches in China this fall before coming to the US next year. GM builds the battery packs in Michigan and ships them to China for final assembly in the PHEV. For now, this is all fine for GM to qualify for China's incentives for building green cars in the country. But, as Bill Wallace, GM's director of global battery systems, told AutoblogGreen, this could change thanks to the country's 'Made in China 2025' plan. The situation is "evolving," he said, and it's a safe assumption that GM will need to build packs in China some day. For the CT6 PHEVs that will be sold in the US, the batteries will make a round trip, since GM will only build the plug-in version in China. As for the range of the CT6 PHEV, that hasn't been announced, but since China offers incentives for vehicles that get at least 50 kilometers (31 miles), that's a likely target (the US range (UPDATE: GM did announce an expected range for the CT6 PHEV in the US at the LA Auto Show last fall, saying it would "travel approximately 30 miles on a full electric charge"). The battery pack in the CT6 is also a clunky box-type thing, totally unlike the near-elegant T-shape used in the Volt. This despite the fact that the guts of the two packs are similar. Both have 192 li-ion cells and weigh almost the same, but GM tuned the CT6 pack for acceleration instead of range, the way it did with the Volt's pack. Still, the main reason the packs are different is because the CT6 is a rear-wheel drive vehicle, and the tunnel that the Volt's pack uses is occupied by the driveshaft. Despite the highly touted second-gen Chevy Volt going on sale last year, GM still has the capacity to build battery packs for the old, first-gen model. This is because the company is legally required to be able to provide replacement packs for warrantied vehicles (for up to 10 years), and the second-gen packs don't fit into the first-gen vehicles.
