Last of the big boy RWD V8’s! LT-1 “Vette” engine, only 76k original miles. Adriatic Blue with matching interior. All the typical Caddy options – digital dash, power seats with a million settings, lumbar, heated seats, rear vanity mirrors, twilight sentinel, power trunk, nice dual exhaust, auto-leveling, power antenna…and it goes on and on. It is stock minus an in-dash DVD and HID headlights. I always wanted one of these and looked for a ’94-’96 in blue for over a year. This car is actually more rare because it does NOT have leather or a vinyl roof! I actually bought this as my winter car but after I got it home and realized how nice it was I parked it and bought a truck instead. Having said that I’ve driven it from MI to see friends in NH three times, and up to Midland ON for work a few times and it performed flawlessly! 23mpg all day long and all the power you could want. Originally from Virginia and brought to MI a few years ago where the last owner kept it in a garage, as did I. Car has new (from previous owner): water pump and thermostat, power steering pump, A/C compressor, plugs and wires Car has brand new (from me): battery, tires, all front end parts – steering stabilizer, center link, end links, rod ends….etc. “Major” disclosures about the car (even though they’re not): -some wear on the driver’s seat (shown in photo) -plastic cover for hood release is missing (just the cover, handle works great) -little knob on power seat switch is broken (shown in photo, seat motor still functions perfect) -my wife says the power lumbar on the passenger seat isn’t working, but the motor functions so I’m not sure the issue -car has factory alarm, but previous owner put in an aftermarket alarm as well. After I replaced the cars’ battery I now can’t get the key fob reprogrammed to lock/unlock the doors….maybe an easy fix if you know more about alarms than me? -the remote for the DVD player was either stolen or lost. The unit still works great (about $30 to replace) -the brakes work good, too good! I know nothing about drum brakes but I’m thinking they might need to be adjusted. When the car sits for awhile the brakes become very ‘sensitive’ until you pump the pedal a few times. -there are some scratches around the car, most notably around the drivers’ door handle (where an elderly person would have trouble finding the keyhole). Also some on the drivers’ tail, I’m guessing the car was either bumped in a parking lot by a grocery cart or possibly a car. Neither of these things detract from the overall beauty and condition of this 17yo car. No rust showing, no damage in the form of dents or major dings, and nothing major happening with the body. When the car is cleaned up it still looks fantastic, even the original wheels and stainless rockers look great. I'll have the car fully detailed prior to transfer. Very minor things to fix if you wanted the car to be ‘perfect’…or drive it the way it is! Low miles and will last a long time. Although I love these cars some of the prices I see being asked for them are a little ridiculous imo. I’ve priced mine LOW and FAIR for everyone. Also, I obviously need the standard “no guarantee or warranty” clause thrown in here….as assumed with any used car. If you needed to have the car picked up and shipped I will accommodate as best as possible. So that’s it! Not much else to say except “it’s a Caddy”….purrs like a kitten and it definitely floats down the road as an older Caddy should.

Update - I apologize for the double description...I just wanted to clarify that the vehicle has lower than average wear. Not sure why it reposted everything and Ebay is working on it, although they haven't been any help. Thx

2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Tue, 10 Dec 2013The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:
2014 North American Car of the Year:
Cadillac partners with Saks Fifth Avenue for limited-edition ELR
Fri, 08 Nov 2013There's no softening the blow with this one - this is the limited edition 2014 Cadillac ELR Saks Fifth Avenue Edition, and it costs $89,500, including $995 for destination. The special model, limited to just 100 units, is part of a holiday season collaboration between Cadillac and luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue. In addition to the ELR, there will also be a special "Frozen Escalade" window display at the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store near Rockefeller Center in New York City, which will feature the 2015 Escalade with functioning LED running lamps that, as the automaker says, "appear embedded and breaking through a wall of ice."
But back to that ELR. This Saks edition plug-in hybrid coupe commands a surcharge of $14,500 over the $75,000 base model that over 85-percent of Autoblog readers polled already feel is overpriced. For that extra coin, you get an ELR wearing exclusive (to this car) White Diamond paint matched with either a jet black or light cashmere interior. Buyers will also receive an upgraded 240-volt charging station complete with professional installation, and the cars come with Cadillac's ELR Concierge service - representatives "trained in white-glove customer care" that serve as an additional point of contact beyond the dealership when it comes to topics like like battery care, charging, service scheduling and news updates.
Folks who order the Saks Fifth Avenue ELR are expected to receive their cars in March of next year. Price aside, we're sure it'll look great parked alongside the Neiman Marcus Aston Martin Vanquish Volante in owners' garages. Scroll down for Cadillac's official press blast.
Autoblog's ultimate holiday rides
Tue, Dec 16 2014Over the hills and through the woods, it's the time of year when many of us visit family and friends for the holidays. But getting there can be a chore. It's cold and snowy across much of the United States, and even if the climate is favorable, the drive to grandmother's house often is not. Think back to holiday road trips of yore: They probably included crying babies, antsy children, hungover adults and frequent bathrooms stops all around. Now, we're all at different life stages here at Autoblog, and the perfect car for one staffer might be as useful as a team of Budweiser Clydesdales to another. Some of us bounce from family event to family event with children and a labrador in tow, while others prefer a quieter, simpler holiday. But whatever the endeavor, we all need wheels. With that in mind, here is the unofficial Autoblog list of the ultimate cars in which to tackle the holiday season. 2015 Ferrari FF To borrow a chestnut from Top Gear presenter James May, "As you'd expect, I've done this properly." That oddly voluptuous ruby bolide in the photo above? It's a 2015 Ferrari FF – all 652 all-wheel-driven horsepower of it. What makes a Ferrari the ideal for holiday time in PaukertLand? My Midwestern winter breaks are wonderful, but they're typically frenetic and slushy, involving a lot of schlepping from house to house and even city to city, not to mention inevitable last-minute runs for forgotten presents and dinner ingredients. Needless to say, a powerful V12 is a welcome ally for such duties. And this one isn't just a friend when the road is clear. The FF has been gifted Ferrari's novel 4RM AWD system, and despite sitting lower to the ground than, say, an SUV, it's a pretty effective tool for real winter driving, especially when outfitted with a set of snow tires. Unlike other Ferraris, it's also a rather practical thing, with legitimate seating for four adults and 15.9 cubic feet of cargo space – that's precisely as much room as a Mercedes E-Class – and you can fold the rear chairs and cram 28.2 cubes-worth of holiday cheer in the back. Okay, so it's far from cheap and fuel economy isn't that great, but who cares? Just drop a paddle-shifted gear or two, bury the throttle and Repeat The Sounding Joy. Ain't the holidays grand? – Chris Paukert Executive Editor 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe My Mom gives out more presents than any other human being I've ever encountered.
