I have done a full tune up on this car with new Delco plugs and boots. Valve cover gaskets have been replaced as well. The front tires are new with around 2k miles on them. I can include the receipt from Town Fair tire for warranty. New Monroe shocks/struts on the front and rear. All the interior lights have been replaced, everything works.
The car does need a few things, but nothing that needs to be done right away:
Power steering line has a slow leak
Coolant leak- Looks to be the coolant crossover pipes. It is not burning coolant!
Transmission: The check engine light comes on with P0741. This only affects the car by 1mpg and the light comes on. I have read that this can be ignored indefinitely and the transmission will keep going. I never noticed any performance issues. This is a very common issue on the transmissions found in this car and many Cadillacs (4T80e). The issue is an internal seal that starts to seep and won't allow enough pressure to build to lock the torque converter. After clearing the code it comes back usually between 100 and 200 miles of driving.
Oil leak-can smell oil when idling and see a few drops here and there. Oil pan probably needs gasket replaced.
Will need crank sensors replaced, stalled a couple times since I owned it because of them.
That is all that I can think of. I believe these are the only problems which I have been driving the car with since I bought it. This is a real nice driving and handling car, but I'm more comfortable in a huge RWD car, so this one has to go.
Body is in good shape, has some scratches and a scrape above the rear passenger wheel well. No big dents or rust, paint looks good.
I have a clear CT title for the car. Cash only sale, won't ship it, must meet in person, I will not ship this! If you would like to see the car before bidding please message me to arrange a time. A non-refundable $250 deposit is required within 48hrs of auction end by paypal. Vehicle is sold as is with no warranty, please bid accordingly!

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]
Thu, 09 Oct 2014The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
