Here's a beautiful 2001 DeVille that's perfect for the right buyer. It has some issues, but let's start with the good points:

- Excellent paint, especially for a 2001. It hasn't been washed for two weeks in the photos and still looks that good. No dents or even significant scratches.

- Excellent interior, again especially for a 2001.  No rips, tears, or significant stains. Driver's seat does show some wear, but much less than normal for the age of the car.

- ALL power accessories work. All windows, mirrors, power seats, seat heaters, stereo, you name it. 

- ICE COLD air conditioning, works like new.

- Brand new tires (Sumitomo HTR Z II), new brakes (including fluid flush), new alternator, new battery, new front engine mount. And when I say new, I mean less than 1,000 miles on all of the above.

Now for the bad:

- At least one, possibly both head gaskets are blown. Car runs fine for a short time, but overheats soon thereafter.  I've been told by a Caddy dealer it's a head gasket failure, but I didn't authorize a full tear down, so I don't know what you'll find when you get the engine apart. But the engine's going to need to come apart, so don't by the car unless you have a donor engine, need this car for donor body/interior parts, or have your own shop to do the work. It will run for a few minutes - easily long enough to get it on and off a transporter - but don't think you can drive it home. Come with a trailer or send a transporter.

Also, YOU MUST MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK UP THE CAR WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION END. I've bought myself some time at the dealership where it's sitting but they've said no more than that, so if you buy the car, you need to get it from me quickly. If you need to let it sit longer I'm okay with having it towed to my house, but transportation has to be at buyer's expense.

Consumer Reports loves the 2014 Cadillac CTS

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Our first drive of the 2014 Cadillac CTS was just published today... we really liked the Vsport version. And Consumer Reports has some even stronger words of praise for the all-new luxury sedan. We already knew that Cadillac had stepped up its game with the third-gen CTS, but CR bluntly states that the sedan drives better than its German luxury counterparts.
While CR shows plenty of love for the new CTS, the outlet still takes issue with some of the in-car technology including the CUE infotainment system - no surprise there. The testers' offer all manner of positive comments where the impressive handling capabilities of the sedan are concerned, with lots of drifting around CR's private test facility in evidence to bear them out. Scroll down to watch the CTS get put through its paces.

GM extends production at Detroit factory until early 2020

Fri, Feb 22 2019

General Motors Co said on Friday it had extended the production at its Detroit Hamtramck plant until January 2020, against an earlier plan to discontinue production in June this year. The No.1 U.S. automaker is revamping its operations, which include plant closures and thousands of job cuts, as it looks to boost profitability in the wake of declining U.S. auto sales. The Hamtramck plant will continue to produce the Chevrolet Impala and Cadillac CT6 sedans until early next year, the company said. "We are balancing production timing while continuing the availability of Cadillac advanced technology features currently included in the CT6-V — the Blackwing Twin-Turbo V-8 (engine) and Super Cruise (driver assistance system)," GM said. The plant has already discontinued production of the Buick LaCrosse sedan and Chevrolet Volt electric hybrid car. Detroit-based union United Auto Workers' President Gary Jones said GM's decision to continue production at the plant was a relief for the workers as well as their families. "We commend GM for today's decision and we reiterate the importance of a collective bargaining process in times like these," Jones said. Reporting by Ankit Ajmera. Related Video:

GM is training more first responders for EV emergencies in the U.S. and Canada

Mon, Jul 4 2022

GM is training more first responders to be able to handle emergencies involving electric vehicles. The automaker is "significantly expanding" its EV First Responder Training program in the United States and Canada as electric vehicle sales continue to grow. Its initiative will primarily focus on training firefighters and equipping them with the necessary knowledge about full electric vehicle technologies. GM says it's hoping to dispel misconceptions when it comes to handling EVs in emergency situations. One of those misconceptions is that water is dangerous around EV batteries — turns out the recommended way to put out lithium-ion battery fires is by using copious amounts of water.  Andrew Klock, a senior manager of education and development at the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), said: "The best way for the public and private vehicle fleet owners to rapidly adopt EVs is to train firefighters and emergency responders on how to handle incidents involving battery powered vehicles. The fire service has had more than 100 years to gain the knowledge needed to respond to internal combustion engine fires, and it is critical that they are now educated on EV safety." The NFPA held trainings of its own that had benefited 300,000 first responders, but it believes more than 800,000 members of the community still need further training.   GM previously piloted the program in southeast Michigan, but now it's conducting training events across Michigan and in Fort Worth, Texas, as well. Later this summer, it's bringing the program to metro New York City and Southern California. Participants will have to attend four-hour sessions, with up to two per day, held in various venues, such as fire houses and dealerships. Interested first and second responders can register through the program's dedicated website and earn a certificate from the Illinois Fire Service Institute if they score higher than 70 percent on the learning assessment by the end of their training.  The automaker already has a few EV models on the market, including the Chevy Bolts, the GMC Hummer EV and the Cadillac Lyriq. It has huge electrification plans for the future, though, and training responders could help make potential customers more receptive to the idea of switching to electric vehicles. GM aims to launch 30 EV models by 2025 and to exclusively sell EVs ten years after that. Related video: Green Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Safety Electric
