1980 Diesel Cadillac Seville In Excellent Condition For Sale! on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
Even though this car is nearly as old as I am it’s been my
most loved car of all the cars I’ve owned!
With that said it’s killing me that I have to part with it but I’m in
the process of relocating overseas and there isn’t an easy way to take it with
me. So, up for sale it goes, along with
pretty much everything else I own (keep watching for more items to be listed in
addition to what’s already listed, including a 1985 Audi 5000 wagon). This is everything I can think to tell you about it: GENERAL 1.
It was purchased in early 2010 from a dealer in
Pennsylvania and it was shipped to Phoenix CONDITION 2.
Numerous repairs have been made to it since I’ve
owned it and I prepared a spreadsheet outlining not only the repairs that have
made but also the condition of everything I can think of including all the
options and their respective functionality.
It also outlines everything included in the sale including
documentation, parts and accessories. If
you would like a copy of the spreadsheet, send me a note through eBay and it
will be sent to you 3.
Overall it is in very good condition 4.
It has the diesel engine which is largely what
motivated me to buy it (always loved diesels) 5.
It is my daily driver so as of the time of the
listing it has 100,701 miles (there will be more miles on it before the auction
ends but I travel 100% for business so it’s usually parked in covered parking
at the airport for days at a time so it doesn’t get driven a whole lot) 6.
It was repainted at some point and is currently
white but I believe the original color was dark blue as there is an area of the
door jam of the rear driver’s side where the original color appears to be
revealed (not 100% sure on the original color though) 7.
It has no visible rust except in one place where
the fender/hood/windshield come together (pointed out in the photos) 8.
It is a monster on the highway…keeping it at or
below the speed limit can be a challenge because it’s so quiet and it just
keeps pulling 9.
I’m not a lead-footed driver and have enjoyed
pretty good gas mileage which I estimate to be 25 in the city and 30 on the
highway 10. It
has passed every annual smog test with the exception of the first one which was
caused by the timing being off and has since been fixed 11. In
a strange twist of fate, it was rear-ended on Friday, May 16, 2014 while I was
running errands (it’s still my daily driver and the estimate from the insurance
company outlining parts and labor to repair it is included in the photos). The photos show the condition and I am happy
to include the information for the place I’ve gotten any parts my mechanic has
not been able to get on his own (the parts prices in the estimate are all from
this place) 12. It
also has the moon roof that is fully functional and is another reason that
motivated me to buy this particular car 13. If
you’d like to speak with my mechanic I’ll be happy to provide his name/phone
number (just send me a note through eBay) 14. There
are no leaks, noises, or other mechanical issues me or my mechanic is aware of
as of the time of this listing (my mechanic has mentioned a few times how good
the mechanical condition of the car is) and it always starts with barely a full
turn of the key once the Wait light goes off 15. I’ve
driven it on a few long trips (200 miles each way) through the Arizona
mountains and never had any issues 16. Things
I know need to be repaired: INCLUDED IN THE SALE 17. Included
in the sale is the original owner’s manual (see photos) 18. ALSO

included are most of the original receipts for all the work that has been done to
the car since I’ve owned it CONDITION/FEATURE/REPAIR
SPREADSHEET LOGISTICS/SHIPPING/TEST
DRIVE/INSPECTION 46. Since
I’m in the process of relocating overseas, I don’t care what it sells for as
long as it goes to a good home 47. I’m
happy to work directly with a shipper should you choose to use one (I’ll
provide all my contact information following the conclusion of the auction) and
all costs/responsibility/damage related to shipping are the responsibility of
the buyer. And for what it’s worth, this
is the second car I’ve had shipped and I found the process to be relatively
simple as there are numerous shipping services and from Pennsylvania to Phoenix
was $750.00 for this car 48. The
car must be picked up by the buyer/shipper/designated agent within seven business days following the conclusion of the auction unless my travel schedule
requires it to be longer, in which case I will let the buyer know as soon as I
know, because I do not want to be responsible for anything that could happen to
it while it’s still in my possession 49. I
travel 100% for business so I apologize in advance as my responses to inquiries
may be slow 50. Also
because I travel 100% for business it may take a bit of effort to arrange
pick-up/shipping logistics and I apologize for that in advance as well. However, my intention is to make the process
as simple as possible 51. If
you live close enough and would like to stop by and see it and/or take it for a
test drive, you are more than welcome keeping in mind the following: 52. My
license plate(s) will be removed prior to releasing it to the buyer/shipper 53. The
car is for sale locally so the eBay listing may be ended at any time PAYMENT 54. Payment
is via cashier's check or cash in-person. I'm also willing to allow a wire transfer into my bank account. If this option is desired the information needed will be provided following the conclusion of the auction, in which case let me know. 55. Payment
in full must be received within seven business days (same timeframe for pick-up) following the conclusion of
the auction and the $500.00 deposit be cleared/approved through PayPal and/or my bank prior to release to the
buyer/shipper/designated agent 56. Should
a fail-to-pay situation arise, in order to have my eBay/PayPal commission fees
refunded, an unpaid case must be opened which will result in an automatic
negative mark on the buyers account from eBay ADDITIONAL PHOTOS 57. Here
is a link to additional photos and documents: http://s1312.photobucket.com/user/seville3/media/Cadillac%20Seville/IMG_2258_zpse9d44881.jpg.html 58. I’m
not sure what people may want photos of so if there is something you’d like a
photo of and isn’t included in the current photos, let me know. I’ll take the photos if it’s something I’m
able to capture in a photo and upload it to the photos link above (the night
time photos are to show the functioning of the lights, both interior and
exterior) DISCLAIMER 59. It
is being sold as-is and where-is 60. Also,
keep in mind that any car can have something stop working, especially vintage
cars and I’m guessing if you’re looking at this type of car you are more than
likely already aware of that QUESTIONS 61. If
there are any questions not already answered, by all means let me know.
Happy bidding! |

Cadillac considering ultra-luxe, $100k+ Escalade
Tue, Sep 22 2015The Cadillac Escalade has pushed incrementally up-market over the years. From its humble Chevy/GMC truck underpinnings, the latest Escalade starts at $72,970 and tops out at $96,940. But according to the latest reports, Cadillac is weighing an even more upscale version. Though the exact nature of the upgrades that would push the Escalade further up-market remain unknown – and perhaps undecided at this point – the impetus for such a move is crystal clear. European luxury SUVs keep getting more and more expensive, both from established players and new challengers. Bentley just launched the Bentayga, and other luxury marques like Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Maserati, and Lamborghini are all getting into the game. All the while manufacturers like Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz keep rolling out ever more expensive offerings, like the Range Rover Autobiography and anticipating forthcoming Maybach sport-ute. To challenge those European imports with their astronomic price tags, Cadillac could go with an even higher trim level than its existing Platinum spec – or it could go with a more powerful, performance-oriented Escalade V or Vsport. Getting that big a vehicle to hustle would require a lot of power, but then General Motors has never been one to shy away from slotting a bigger engine into its vehicles. One thing's for certain though, and that's that Cadillac isn't quite done with pushing the Escalade higher up the market.
Cadillac Elmiraj Concept brings big coupe style to Pebble Beach [w/videos]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Two years ago, Cadillac absolutely floored us with the debut of its gorgeous Ciel concept at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. And since that droptop four-door's debut, we've seen plenty of its design language worked into the latest Cadillac products. Now, we're seriously hoping that history will repeat itself with this stunning new Elmiraj coupe concept, which makes its first public appearance in Monterey this week.
Cadillac states that the Elmiraj concept simply showcases the next step forward for the brand's Art & Science design DNA, and doesn't necessarily preview an upcoming model. But if you told us the Elmiraj was a conceptual look at the next-generation CTS Coupe, or a smaller, two-door version of a new flagship, we'd believe you. At 207 inches long, 76 inches wide and 55 inches tall, its dimensions are only slightly larger than the current two-door CTS.
Regardless of what the Elmiraj does or does not become, it's certainly a fantastic modern interpretation of the classic GT formula with its short front overhang, long hood, rakish roofline and petite rear deck. The strong character lines running along the sides and exaggerated 22-inch wheels round out the beautiful coupe, and Cadillac's signature vertical LED lighting elements are found at the front and rear. Also take note: the badge on the grille is a crest without a wreath, basically confirming our earlier report.
GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits
Tue, Apr 25 2023General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion. GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday. North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million. The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
