Up for your consideration is a beautiful 1985 Cadillac Seville. This is a low mileage car with only 74522 miles on it. To the best of my knowledge this is the correct mileage. The car is in great shape, and runs and drives well. Transmission shifts beautifully with no jerking. The car is equipped with all of the Cadillac options for 1985 except for the sunroof. It does have the factory installed faux convertible top on it which was recently replaced. It is also equipped with the optional Kelsey Hayes spoke wheels offered by Cadillac at the time. These wheels are in fair shape with a little discoloration of the chrome on a couple of them, but all in all look really great considering they are about 28 yrs. old. Another option it has that I had installed is a remote 12 disk CD player located in the trunk. This system works great and is controlled from a controller attached to the dash. The A/C is climate control as in all Cadillac's and works fine both heating and cooling. The car is finished in Firethorn Blue and had a repaint about 4 yrs. ago. The paint still looks really good. Chrome is in great shape also. it is equipped with semi-wide white wall tires which have about 60% of their tread left on them. The interior is all original with the exception of the headliner which was replaced four years ago with the original type material. The seats are all leather and in excellent shape with no tears or major scuffs. The door panels also in great shape with no cracks or tears in the vinyl. One thing that does not work on the car is the auto leveling system. About a year ago the compressor, although it still runs, does not put out enough air pressure to raise the car. I have been unable to find a replacement compressor, therefore that system is now controlled manually by a valve stem near the gas tank filler under the rear license plate.
For anyone who is a fan of the so called "hump back" design of this generation of Seville this is a great example of a great auto. This design was used on the Seville from 1980 thru 1985. One of the complaints about this car was the 4.1 Liter engine not having enough power. It is true it is a little under powered but it was not meant to be used as a race or drag race car and performs beautifully on the highway.
I drove this car for several years as my daily driver and now in the last several months it has only been out for an occasional car show.
I am listing this with no reserve with what I feel is a low starting bid. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Cadillac has got big plans in place to revitalize its lineup, with new sedans, coupes and crossovers. And it all starts with this, the replacement for the SRX.
Expected to be called XT5 in line with the brand's new naming scheme, the crossover will be based on a scalable new platform called C1XX - or Chi, for short. In its shorter form, Chi is anticipated to underpin the XT5 as well as a new Chevy crossover and the next-gen GMC Acadia. In long-wheelbase form, the platform is slated to give us a larger Cadillac crossover as well as a new Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.
Power in the XT5 will be provided by a choice of turbo four or atmospheric six, potentially to be transmitted through GM's new nine-speed automatic.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
