For your consideration is a 1988 Cadillac Allante that I recently inherited from my father. He purchased the car about three years ago as a daily driver and has put approximately 9,000 miles on the car in that time - the car has a little more than 48,000 total miles. I took the car out for a spin a few times before the snow hit, just to see what kind of shape its in. It looks great and drives great and comes with both the soft and hard tops. I am simply not a Cadillac fan, so I am offering the car for sale with no reserve.

Here's what I have been able to determine...

While the car drives great and has very low miles, it needs a tune-up. Pulling the codes shows a throttle control adjustment need, borne out by the fact that the car does hesitate every once in a while while excelerating.
The car stops just fine, but without the assistance of antilock brakes, as these have been disabled. There are no yellow or red brake warning lights.
The car is outfitted with an aftermarket stereo remote by Pioneer, connected to a tuner and cd changer mounted in the trunk of the car. The radio antenna will need to be replaced.
The driver's seat back leans slightly to the right. All seat adjustments appear to work just fine on both the driver and passenger sides.
The led bulb for the tachometer does not always stay on.
The lower front bumper has been damaged.

This car would make for an easy, drivable restoration, although as you can see from the pictures, it can be driven simply as it is. The paint and interior is all original. Its that special Cadillac pearl white color and it shines and looks great. I did not take a picture of the hardtop, but it is in excellent condition, without flaw. I have tried to list everything that I could find wrong with the car - oh, the driver's seat belt receptacle has seen better days, but works just fine.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions. I will take PayPal for the entire purchase of the car, but there will be a surcharge to do so. I can also accept credit card via Square if that is easier. Of course, cash is king. I will accept a check, but it must clear first before I release the car.

I have a clear title in hand. Thanks.

GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.

Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."

Weekly Recap: GM scales back as Russian auto market teeters

Sat, Mar 21 2015

General Motors' extensive plans to scale back its Russian operations are the latest sign the automotive market in the former superpower is collapsing – and there are few signs of recovery. GM said Wednesday it will stop selling mainstream Chevrolets and shutter the entire Opel brand in Russia. The moves leave GM with a luxury-focused presence consisting of Cadillac and Chevrolet's Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The cutbacks will be completed by the end of the year. The automaker will also idle its factory in St. Petersburg and end a contract-assembly agreement with Russian manufacturer GAZ. "We had to take decisive action in Russia to protect our business," Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement. "We confirm our outlook to return the European business to profitability in 2016 and stick to our long-term goals." GM is the latest automaker to scale back in Russia as the economic conditions, volatile currency and uncertainty over the conflict in the Ukraine all have sandbagged new car sales. Last month, vehicle sales collapsed 38 percent in Russia to 128,298 units, according to the Association of European Business, which records sales. Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers committee, didn't even feign optimism in a statement announcing the figures. "The market is entering a very difficult phase now, and February is only the beginning," he said. "Industry sentiment is the next few months will be extremely difficult and the market bottom has yet to be found." The dovetails with industry experts, who predict the Russian auto sector will remain in the doldrums. IHS said earlier this year it expects Russia's sales to slip to just 1.8 million units in 2015, which is a 40-percent drop from 2012. Other News & Notes Chief leads Jeep's Easter Safari stable Jeep is bringing seven attention-getting concepts to Moab for its annual Easter Safari off-roading celebration in Utah, but the Chief is perhaps the standout of the group. It salutes the 1970s Cherokee with a throwback appearance and surfer styling cues. The Chief has a custom modified razor grille made famous by the Wagoneer, and it rolls on 17-inch slotted mag wheels. The surf theme comes in with ocean blue paint, floral cloth and leather seats and a tiki-style shifter handle. Based on the Jeep Wrangler, the Chief has removable sides, a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.
