If you've been waiting for the sharpest 2002 DTS, look no further.

THE GOOD:

I bought this in 2003 with less than 2000 miles (two thousand) so it's virtually a one-owner car (first owner bought it as as surprise for is wife, who then announced "I wanted a Lincoln Navigator!"). It's been the best car we ever owned, and we have a previous long history of Mercedes-Benz ownership. It has every option available at the time- including navigation, sunroof, night vision, hands-free phone, leather, heated seats (all 4), lumbar seats (front), top-of-the-line Bose sound with CD changer, premium 3-stage paint, and far more- too much to list here. Cost new was $65,000 and there are several post-factory upgrades such as custom billet grille, gold emblem package, stainless steel fender trim, additional luxury wood interior trim, trailer hitch, etc. Senior owned, never smoke in. Looks, runs, drives, and rides like the true luxury car it is.

Maintenance- dealer maintained for the first 100,000 miles. Oil has been changed very 3000 miles from new. New struts (all 4, original electronic front and air rear struts), major brake rebuild (pads & rotors), new air pump for rear struts, and new tires- all this within the past 10,000 miles. Also new alloy wheels less than 2 years ago. Super clean, the only time it spent nights out of a garage was during winters in Florida where it was in a carport.

Accident history- One low speed deer hit- minor damage (to the car, another story for the deer), also some idiot with a pickup backed into me in a parking lot with his tailgate down and dented the deck lid, which was replaced and once got kissed in the rear while stopped at a traffic light- very minor hit- only a one inch crack in the rear bumper, which was replaced. No other accidents.

THE BAD:

Known defects- driver's seat heater is inoperative, oil leak at crankcase pan gasket, and "Service Engine Soon" light comes on occasionally. This began to happen a few years ago and at first I panicked. Took it to dealership where they checked it out. Code showed exhaust system anomaly but car ran just fine so they reset the code and told me to not worry about it. A while later, light came on again. Took it to 2 other shops for opinions with same result- "ignore it" as long as car is running OK. Now the light comes on intermittently. Sometimes it goes off by itself after a few days, sometimes I get tired of looking at the light and take it in to have the code reset- always the same thing ("check exhaust system"). I've been told by several mechanics that the sensors that trigger these warnings get cranky after a few years and can't be trusted for accuracy.

THE UGLY:

There is no ugly- this car is beautiful. Paint is still bright and shiny, upholstery is cean and only shows minor wear. Same is true for carpeting.

Although she's "experienced", this one still has lots of miles and years of good service left. You might find cheaper, but I doubt you can find a better one. Amazingly, it still has the original battery but it must be getting tired so I will install a new one for the new owner.

Reserve price is less than 1/10 the original cost. If reserve is not met, I may accept a near offer, so bid accordingly and be prepared to honor your bid- I will relist it with "Buy It Now" at your high bid price.

Cadillac recalls ELR coupe over stability control problems

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Cadillac is recalling about 656 2014 ELR models made between September 26, 2013 and February 14, 2014, because of a fault with the electronic stability control system. On cars without adaptive cruise control, it's possible that diagnostics could prevent the system from telling the driver if ESC is on or off.
Cadillac has a software fix ready and repairs begin on April 17. Alan Adler, General Motors' recall and legal spokesperson, tells Autoblog that only about 55 of the affected cars are in the hands of owners. The rest are either on dealer lots or still at the factory. There have been no reported injuries or crashes caused by the fault.
The correction for the stability control system involves a software recalibration of the electronic brake control module that takes around 20 minutes to perform. While they use the same platform, the Chevrolet Volt isn't involved in this recall because it "uses a different a brake control module," said Adler.

GM winding down Chevrolet brand in Europe

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

If you've taken even a cursory look at GM's European strategy and wondered how it can target the market there with both Chevrolet and Opel/Vauxhall, you're not alone. In fact General Motors itself has found it difficult to justify the two-pronged approach. That's why it's essentially pulling Chevy from the European marketplace.
Instead of trying to ply European buyers with what are mostly former Daewoo products rebadged as Chevys, GM will now let Opel (or Vauxhall in the UK) represent its mass-market aspirations. Chevrolet will keep its presence in Russia and other former Soviet markets, and will continue selling certain niche products in Eastern and Western Europe. The Corvette, for example, has long been sold in Europe through Cadillac dealerships, which for its part is currently "finalizing plans for expanding in the European market".
While the shift in strategy is expected to help GM get a stronger foothold in the European market in the long run, in the short term the restructuring will cost it dearly: between $700 million and $1 billion, according to its own estimates, split between the last quarter of this year and the first half of the next.
