Up for auction is my 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.  I purchased this car in 2009 and drove it daily for my short commute of 5 miles a day.  I got a new car so this one has to go.  Overall I think it would be a nice "doorslammer" car to run around in or restore it.  It has the powerful LT1 motor made famous for its use in corvettes.  With a little work this might be a nice car for someone.  This is a true auction someone will win this auction NO RESERVE bidding starts at a penny do not bid if you don't want it.  The car is located in Springwater NY 14560 no shipping you pick up.  This car is nearly 20 years old absolutely as is no warranty expressed or implied.


Mechanically: It needs a new electronic distributor (electrospark) module.  It is the box that the spark plugs come out of on the front of the motor.  There is a large amount of white corrosion residue on the box and the car is starting hard especially after it rains.  I cannot guarantee it will start or run well upon arrival due to this.  You will most likely need to have this car transported to your location.   The motor always has run strong (except for what I have stated) and consumes no oil.  My mechanic is confident that replacing this part will bring the motor back to running strong.  I guess it is like a $250 part.  Also the transmission will shift hard from first into second gear when the car is cold, when it is warmed up it shifts nice.  Also on the transmission when you shift you have to wait about 3 seconds then the transmission will engage it always does this regardless of car being hot or cold.  It has done this since I have owned it.  This has been this way since I bought it.  The air conditioner stopped blowing cold and I have detected green spew on the bottom of the a/c compressor so it probably puked its seals and will need a new a/c compressor.  The windshield wiper motor will stop working intermittently (may need a wiper motor or it may be a wire gremlin).  The air ride system is currently not working probably has holes in the air bags as the compressor motor would run incessantly so the motor was disabled.  Has nice all weather tires that are better than 50% It has a heavy duty napa legend battery replaced new in november 2012

Exterior:  The exterior paint appears to be original overall not bad looking from 20 feet away just my opinion.  There is heavy fade to plastic bumper covers and some fade overall.  Lots of scratches and a dime sized surface rust spot on driver side of hood.  The soft top is presentable in my opinion but is really showing its age with small uv cracks really starting to open up.  Some window seal trim is starting to peel away some small general trim pieces missing here and there.  Some of the chrome is hanging on by a thread.  Some surface corrosion spots forming on the chrome trim.  Very low amount of corrosion overall. The underside of this car is pretty darn clean in my opinion seen very few winter miles.

Interior:  The interior shows some wear but is very presentable in my opinion for the age of the car.  The transmission shift indicator on column stopped working so I count the clicks when shifting to make sure I am in the right spot.  Below the steering column the trim piece is broken.  The dash pad is heavily cracked.  The heated leather seat on the driver side has stopped getting hot but the passenger one works like a champ.  Cigarette lighter works when it wants to.  The back windows do not go up or down might be unplugged might be worse been this way since I owned it.  

It also has nearly a full tank of gas nearly $100 worth of gas in it.

Cadillac sales chief fired over policy violation

Sun, 21 Jul 2013

Amidst a good year for Cadillac, which is experiencing higher sales gains than any other US brand this year, the US sales chief has been fired over a policy violation, Automotive News reports.
The sales chief, Chase Hawkins, "has left effective immediately," GM spokesman David Caldwell told Automotive News. Caldwell went on to say that Hawkins' replacement would be chosen soon.
Hawkins became the US sales chief in June 2012, and before that was the regional sales director for Cadillac in the Northeast US, overseeing 168 dealerships.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services

Fri, Aug 24 2018

Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.
