1989 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Pearl White/tan Show Quality on 2040-cars
Auburn, Massachusetts, United States
Up for auction is my 1989 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, the car is pearl white, (white diamond) with a tan leather (antelope) interior, all original, un-restored, with only 42,300 miles. This is a southern CA car and has never seen a northern winter. Garage kept, and in "show quality" condition. No rust anywhere, original paint and body panels, no accident history, non smoker. The leather interior is perfect as are the door panels and dash. Even the spark plug wires and exhaust system are original. This Biarritz has the rare Teves ABS option which is in good working condition. There were less than 7500 Biarritz models produced in 1989 and few left in this condition today. The 89 Eldorado has a Cadillac 4.5L V8 with throttle body fuel injection so it only requires regular fuel and averages 22-24MPG on the highway. I have recently changed the oil and filter, changed the coolant and thermostat, changed the transmission fluid and filter, replaced the air filter, fuel filter, PCV valve and installed new front sway bar bushings and end links. The AC system has been converted to 134A and blows ice cold. The rear leveling shocks have been replaced with the correct AC Delco shocks and the leveling system works as designed. Also has new rear brake pads. The car rides on Hankook touring tires with 90% tread remaining. The car rides smooth with no rattles or unusual noises. Mechanically the only item the next owner may want to address would be the front struts as they are the originals and have an extra bounce or two when going over an uneven road surface. I am a member of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club and the AACA, I have owned a 91 Allante, a 90 Eldorado and a 91 Seville of the (4) cars this 89 Biarritz is the nicest and would present well at any national or regional collector/classic car show. Please see my feedback as a seller to view the comments left for me regarding the sale of my 90 Eldorado and a 93 Allante. This is a reserve auction and I will not disclose the reserve price however, it is below certain collector car value guides for a "Condition" 1 or 2 89 Eldorado Biarritz. I would say this car is closer to a number 2 car only because there are two hair line scratches about 2 inches long in the right front fender not visable in the photos, both have been filled in with touch-up paint but visable when standing next to the car. Also (2) of the wire wheel covers show some curb damage not visable in the photos. Thank you for considering my Eldorado and please e-mail me or call 774-633-0683 with any questions. |

Cadillac's semi-autonomous Super Cruise pushed back to 2017
Thu, Jan 14 2016It looks like General Motors is discovering just how difficult it is to bring autonomous vehicle technology fit for public consumption to market. The company has pushed back the launch of its semi-autonomous Super Cruise technology by several months. Originally promised by CEO Mary Barra for a fall 2016 debut, Super Cruise was supposed to be offered first on the new CT6 sedan. Automotive News is reporting that won't be the case, following a statement from GM confirming that the new system would be pushed to sometime in 2017. At the very least, that's a several month delay. GM cited the need to get the system right and keep owners safe, which prevented a firm date for Super Cruise's debut. Product boss Mark Reuss was more blunt, though, telling AN, "It will come out when it is ready." Super Cruise would be one of the earliest examples of driverless tech to be put into public hands, following the introduction of Tesla's semi-autonomous AutoPilot system in 2015. Most other automakers experimenting with the autonomous vehicles don't foresee public sales until early in the next decade, including Toyota, Renault-Nissan, and Volvo. Before Barra suggested a 2016 debut, GM originally aimed to introduce its semi-autonomous system in 2020. Related Video:
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
2016 Cadillac ELR gets more power, $9,000 price drop
Wed, Apr 15 2015Cadillac has announced a series of updates to the ELR for 2016 that promises to make the plug-in hybrid luxury coupe a more desirable proposition. Perhaps chief among them is a price drop of $9,005 compared to the slow-selling 2014 model. The news follows an announcement yesterday that the Chevy Spark would get a $1,500 price drop. Cadillac is quoting a net price for the updated ELR at $58,495, which is obviously substantially less than the $75k it was asking for the previous version. But it's important to note that the new price is listed after US federal tax credits. The 2014 model came in at $67,500 after the full $7,500 tax credit, so math tells us that Cadillac has slashed the price on the 2016 ELR rather dramatically by about nine grand with a new MSRP of $65,995. One big upgrade on the performance front is a 25-percent boost in output from the hybrid powertrain that marries a pair of electric motors to a 1.4-liter inline-four gasoline-burning generator. The increase is said to be enough to drop 1.5 seconds off the 0-60 time, now quoted at 6.4 seconds. It'll travel for up to 39 miles on electric mode alone, but with the generator spooled up will go up to 330 miles before needing to stop. The engine management software has also been updated and the regenerative braking system reconfigured as well, but GM's luxury division didn't stop at the powertrain, fitting the 2016 ELR with a raft of other enhancements. Visually there's a new grille with the marque's latest emblem embedded. The suspension has been stiffened, the steering recalibrated and the brakes optimized for better feel. Cadillac is also throwing in the previously optional Driver Assistance package of active safety systems as standard, with adaptive cruise control available as an option. And the infotainment system comes with OnStar, 4G LTE connectivity and on-board Wi-Fi. There's even a Performance Package available with 20-inch performance tires offering 10-percent better lateral grip, four-piston Brembo brake calipers up front to help reducing stopping distances by 12 percent, recalibrated dampers and steering and a thicker-rimmed steering wheel. Because of the higher rolling resistance tires, however, the Performance Package kills four miles off of the electric driving range.
