The La Grange Illinois (Cook County) Police Department is offering the following vehicle for sale:

1993 Cadillac Seville Sedan V8, 4.9L, Brown Chameleon Custom Paint with a mileage of 175,094 miles

This is a seized/forfeited vehicle and MUST be sold according to Illinois law; it MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is no Buy-It-Now option.  We will NOT accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with no warranty.  All sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  The vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the initial starting price has been satisfied.  There is no reserve on this item.

The vehicle (again) has a mileage of 175,094 miles and has a brown custom "Chameleon" paint.  The vehicle has only been driven by us approximately 2-3 miles but appears to drive/run well and sounds good.  The vehicle has been in inside storage since 2005, but periodically run.  All lights, lamps, signals, wipers, and horn are in working order.  The vehicle has other numerous electronic controls on the dashboard, however, we did not try all of them and do not know if they are all in working order.  The vehicle shows normal wear-n-tear about the vehicle such as normal scratches, scuffs, minor scrapes, etc.  The vehicle has tires in good shape (quite a bit of tread left).  The vehicle has A/C (unknown if cold, but fan working) with front and rear seat controls.  The vehicle has power locks, power windows, power mirrors, power lumbar controls for both front seats (we did not try all of these controls).  The vehicle has cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, Pioneer AM/FM stereo with CD player, and a DVD player in the front passenger-seat (P/S) area under dashboard (we did not try any of these items).  Housed in the trunk, the vehicle has a Rockford Fosgate 400 watt speaker, a 600 watt Kenwood amplifier, and a Lanzar 6-disc CD changer (again, we did not try any of these items).  Lastly, the vehicle has leather seating in fair to good condition.

Notable minor damage/scratches/dents/imperfections/items that don't work or need replacement:  During the storage period, the vehicle's parking brake "froze up" and was disengaged by our village mechanic.  There were two TV screens in the headrests for the back seat that have been removed (one is lying in the back seat and the other is missing).  There was a larger TV screen mounted on the roof that was removed (the bracket was left behind).  The P/S airbag cover is not down tight.  The arm rest/center console is damaged.  There are a few wires hanging from the inside roof and around the car, presumably from extra accessories in the vehicle.  The vehicle has a "rag top" with some cracking in several places-see photographs.  It will eventually need a new top (unknown if leaking due to being in inside storage).  There is a small rust spot on the D/S rear under the rear door.  There is a small crack in the windshield (P/S).  There is minor crash damage to the D/S front bumper.  The front license plate cover is cracked.  There are scratches on the P/S front bumper, molding and 1/4.  The P/S rear wheel well trim is loose.  The P/S rear 1/4 and bumper has minor crash damage.  The rear bumper has several scratches, scuffs, etc.  The rear P/S plastic taillight housing has a small crack.  The trunk does not close all the way, up just a fraction and not flush.  The vehicle will need a new battery, as we had to jump start the vehicle (vehicle started right up upon jump start).  Due to the vehicle not being consistently run, we would also recommend a tune up for the vehicle.  Overall, the vehicle seems to be in pretty good shape for it's age and mileage!!

DISCLAIMER:  The vehicle (again) is a seized/forfeited vehicle and MUST be sold according to Illinois law; it MUST be sold in an auction-type setting such as eBay.  There is no Buy-It-Now option.  We will not accept any trades for this vehicle.  The vehicle is being sold AS IS and with NO warranty, neither express nor implied.  All sales are FINAL, NO returns will be accepted, and NO price adjustments will be given.  BUYER BEWARE:  Due to this vehicle being a seized/forfeited vehicle and having not driven it a great deal, we do not know a great deal about it's condition, it's history, prior damage, or prior maintenance record.  potential bidders are encouraged to view the vehicle in person prior to the bidding process, as there may be defects, damage, or undetected problems we are unaware of.  Potential bidders may have an independent inspection completed on the vehicle at their own expense prior to the bidding process.  The winning bidder is responsible for the pick up of the vehicle or making arrangements with a private shipping service at their own expense; we will NOT deliver the vehicle.  We have described the vehicle as completely and accurately as possible, however, we will not be responsible for undetected problems, unknown damage, incorrect specs, etc.

Should you have any questions or would like to view the vehicle in person, please contact me through eBay email, ask a question through the auction site, or telephone Sgt. Cimbalista at 708-579-2334 and follow the prompt.  I am currently working 7:00am-3:00pm (CST).  If I am unavailable at the time of your call, please leave me a voice mail and I will return your call as soon as I become available.  The winning bidder may pay in full upon pick up of the vehicle with either cash or a certified bank check only, at which time a bill of sale and clear title will be provided.  We gladly accept PayPal payments as well.  pick up of the vehicle should be completed within seven days OR please contact me to make arrangements for more time if additional time is needed.  GOOD LUCK!!

Additional:  The vehicle has an alarm system in which our village mechanic disconnected the audible alarm.  The purchaser of this vehicle should get the alarm repaired because it is still partially active.  The interior dash lights flash as well as the taillights (again, we believe this is due to the alarm).

Facelifted Cadillac ATS spied completely uncovered

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

The Cadillac ATS makes for a pretty svelte little coupe, and General Motors appears to know it, because multiple, completely undisguised prototype sedans have been spotted testing wearing what look like many of the forthcoming coupe's body parts.
Not only does it wear at least the outline of the brand's new, broader crest, it has the same front air dam with continuous chrome strip found on the coupe. The only real difference is that it has the somewhat taller side view mirrors from the sedan, rather than the narrower, longer ones from the coupe. Around back, the changes are harder to spot because the test car is outfitted with an unpainted lower bumper. However, it seems to lack the chrome strip that offsets the lower portion of the coupe from the sedan.
The ATS sedan is already a looker, but it is good to see Cadillac is taking a second pass using what it learned on the coupe. There's no word yet on when this revised sedan is going to hit the streets - let alone what changes will take place beneath the skin - but we're thinking it looks about right for 2015.

Cool car technology is cool until it breaks

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Ah, technology – the beautiful date that impresses all your friends but costs you a fortune to keep happy, up-to-date, and working. Automotive News puts some numbers to the economic toll we're paying to jockey this technological Trojan horse, an analysis it sums up with "Technology is great - until you have to replace it." Back in 2000, for instance, you could replace a Cadillac Escalade taillight lens for $56.08, or replace the entire unit for $220.49. Crack the rear lens on your 2015 Escalade and you have to buy a new unit for $795 - there's no such thing as just replacing a lens anymore. What about headlights? It was $210 for an Escalade headlight in 2000, it's $1,650 for the current unit (pictured). This is nothing we didn't know, these are just hard numbers to demonstrate it. Edmunds recently provided the same with its sledgehammer-bashing of the 2015 Ford F-150, Tesla Model S buyers have been shrieking about repair costs to their electric sedan's all-aluminum bodywork, and used-car sites are full of articles about which expensive-to-repair features to steer clear of if you want to avoid big repair bills. Those expensive bits increase the price of a car - Kelley Blue Book says the average price of a car is now more than $33,000 - and that raises rates for repairs and insurance. This comes in spite of some carmakers that have been collaborating with insurance companies and repair shops at the design stage in order to engineer parts that are easier and less expensive to replace. But the tech can have its cost-saving benefits: a 2011 study by the Highway Loss Data Institute found that Volvos fitted with that company's City Safety feature "filed 27 percent fewer property-damage liability claims" than luxury SUVs without it, and just last month the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety called adaptive headlights one of the top four crash-preventing technologies on cars today (after coming out against them in 2006). So yes, the technology costs a mint when it needs to be fixed - but being able to avoid an accident in the first place might make it worth it.

SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Cadillac 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.
