We were going to get this vehicle repaired completely and decided to sell it as is; quite honestly, we simply cannot afford to bring it up to shape at this time (we are retired), so, you get it at a great discount and get to bring it up to your specifications.

When we parked it, it was looking, and running, great, so, what you see has pretty much happened just by being parked, in the garage, for those years. 

You will need to haul it home and all freight and shipping arrangements are for you to make - I am merely listing it to sell.  I would like cash, but you may mail a certified check, and when it clears our bank you may pick up the vehicle.  Upon your win, a $1,000.00 deposit is requested.  The engine will run, but needs some tweaking; my husband thinks there are some bad lines on it; the brakes do not work either, he "thinks" that too is mostly lines, but we do not know for sure.  The air conditioning is not working.

The interior leather looks to be in very good condition, as well as the headliner, doors, dash, etc.  It does not have the original radio, but if we ever come across, and it is a big "if", we will keep your address and mail it to you.  The steering wheel is slightly damaged, and was that way when we purchased it.  A flaw that has shown up that was not there when we parked it in the garage, is a small tear in the roof, maybe 1-1/4" or so.  I am showing that in the pictures.

The inside of the trunk looks great, and the carpeting in both the car, and the trunk, looks new yet. 

The body needs minimal repair work, and would look okay with just a good buffing, but should have some painting done, and a new plastic part on top of the rear bumper. 

I've listed at a very low price so you can do the repairs yourself.

There are 67,294 miles on this car.  The tires were new when we parked it, with probably no more than 100 miles on them, so while they are still new, they are now old (probably still good, just trying to do full disclosure).

If you would like to see the car, please contact me and we can arrange a viewing.

Diesel engine will be a no-cost option on 2021 Cadillac Escalade

Thu, Apr 16 2020

Pricing for the redesigned 2021 Cadillac Escalade was revealed yesterday, with the various trim levels ranging from $77,490 to $101,290 including $1,295 destination. And while we also learned that all-wheel drive will be a $3,000 option, what's surprising is that the optional 3.0-liter inline-six diesel engine will cost $0, this according to official pricing info released by Cadillac. The diesel is one of two engine choices for the new 2021 Escalade, the other being a 6.2-liter V8. The engine also is coming to the 2021 Chevrolet and GMC full-size SUVs, but it's not yet known what the upcharge will be there, if any. Already, the 3.0-liter I6 diesel is offered in the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups, where it is currently a $2,500 option over the 6.2-liter V8. The Duramax inline-six turbodiesel is an aluminum-block design with dual overhead camshafts and a single, variable-geometry turbocharger. Cadillac quotes preliminary outputs of 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The 6.2-liter V8, meanwhile, musters 420 horses and the same torque output. The primary draw for the diesel is expected to be fuel economy. EPA estimates for the diesel engine in the Escalade (and in the GMC and Chevrolet full-size utes) have not yet been released. But in the pickup trucks, the engine returns 23 city/33 highway miles per gallon with rear-wheel drive and 23/29 mpg with four-wheel drive. The 2021 Cadillac Escalade had been scheduled to reach dealerships this summer, but it's not known whether that date might slip due to the current shutdown at GM's assembly plants. Related Video:

Driving the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V at the old Elkhart Lake road course

Wed, Jun 24 2015

The placid community around Elkart Lake, WI, looks about as far removed from a glorious motorsport venue as you can imagine. A turn of the century downtown gives way to old-school resorts, beaches, and boat launches around the picturesque lake, with farms framing the rolling hills all around. But it was those very same meandering country lanes that gave birth to one of America's greatest racing circuits, some 65 years ago. Between the first race in 1950 and the opening of the dedicated Road America track in 1956, the roads around Elkhart Lake provided the setting for some great post-war racing. Competing on public streets was ultimately outlawed across the country, but not before drivers risked life and limb in the name of glory in the Wisconsin summer. Cadillac asked us out to the area recently, not to talk racing history, but to look forward at one of the most track capable cars the company has ever offered: the 2016 CTS-V. We got to drive the 640-horsepower beastie for an entire morning of hot laps at Road America, but unfortunately, we're not allowed to tell you about all of that right now. You'll have to wait until the embargo lifts on August 3, at which point we promise a full recounting of our adventure. Having the CTS-V for a full two days though, and in the spirit of the motorsport that imbues the air in Elkhart Lake, we took the Cadillac on a drive around the old 6.5-mile road course. Come for the new Caddy, but stick around to find out what the hell Wacker's Wend is. Cadillac Luxury Performance Videos

About 150 Cadillac dealers would rather leave the brand than sell EVs

Mon, Dec 7 2020

Dealerships might hamper GM’s plans to electrify its cars. Wall Street Journal tipsters claim that roughly 150 GM dealerships in the United States have decided to drop the Cadillac brand and accept a buyout (ranging from $300,000 to over $1 million) rather than spend about $200,000 to upgrade the dealerships with charging stations, repair hardware and other equipment needed to sell EVs. Many of these dealerships only sell a few Cadillacs per month versus more for Buick, Chevrolet and GMC, but itÂ’s still a significant blow when GM has 880 Cadillac dealers in the country. Cadillac brand leader Rory Harvey confirmed to the WSJ that GM was offering buyouts, but didnÂ’t say how many dealers took them or how much they were worth. The exodus underscores the challenges for conventional car brands as well as the potential advantages for alternatives like Tesla. As brands like GM are heavily dependent on dealerships, they have to please owners to have a chance of strong sales — and thatÂ’s difficult when theyÂ’re not certain about demand, even without the pandemic. Tesla and other direct-to-customer EV makers arenÂ’t bound by physical stores and already have the infrastructure in place for service centers. Dealers might not have much choice in the future. California is banning sales of new gas-powered cars by 2035, and that will likely force automakers to electrify no matter how dealership owners feel. The buyouts now arenÂ’t necessarily temporary, but we wouldnÂ’t rule out some shops having a change of heart as the effective EV deadline approaches. Related video:
