1989 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Pearl White/tan Show Quality on 2040-cars
Auburn, Massachusetts, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1989 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, the car is pearl white, (white diamond) with a tan leather (antelope) interior, all original, un-restored, with only 42,300 miles. This is a southern CA car and has never seen a northern winter. Garage kept, and in "show quality" condition. No rust anywhere, original paint and body panels, no accident history, non smoker. The leather interior is perfect as are the door panels and dash. Even the spark plug wires and exhaust system are original. This Biarritz has the rare Teves ABS option which is in good working condition. There were less than 7500 Biarritz models produced in 1989 and few left in this condition today. The 89 Eldorado has a Cadillac 4.5L V8 with throttle body fuel injection so it only requires regular fuel and averages 22-24MPG on the highway. I have recently changed the oil and filter, changed the coolant and thermostat, changed the transmission fluid and filter, replaced the air filter, fuel filter, PCV valve and installed new front sway bar bushings and end links. The AC system has been converted to 134A and blows ice cold. The rear leveling shocks have been replaced with the correct AC Delco shocks and the leveling system works as designed. Also has new rear brake pads. The car rides on Hankook touring tires with 90% tread remaining. The car rides smooth with no rattles or unusual noises. Mechanically the only item the next owner may want to address would be the front struts as they are the originals and have an extra bounce or two when going over an uneven road surface. I am a member of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club and the AACA, I have owned a 91 Allante, a 90 Eldorado and a 91 Seville of the (4) cars this 89 Biarritz is the nicest and would present well at any national or regional collector/classic car show. Please see my feedback as a seller to view the comments left for me regarding the sale of my 90 Eldorado and a 93 Allante. This is a reserve auction and I will not disclose the reserve price however, it is below certain collector car value guides for a "Condition" 1 or 2 89 Eldorado Biarritz. I would say this car is closer to a number 2 car only because there are two hair line scratches about 2 inches long in the right front fender not visable in the photos, both have been filled in with touch-up paint but visable when standing next to the car. Also (2) of the wire wheel covers show some curb damage not visable in the photos. Thank you for considering my Eldorado and please e-mail me or call 774-633-0683 with any questions. |

GM recalls Chevy Impala, Cadillac XTS for braking problem
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Back in April, General Motors launched an investigation into braking issues affecting the 2014 Chevy Impala. Now there's a recall of both the Impala and the Cadillac XTS with which it shares its Epsilon II platform.
The issue apparently revolves around the electronic parking brake, which may not properly disengage. As a result, the rear brake pads could rub the rotor even while the vehicle is in motion, causing "significant heat, smoke and sparks." The earlier investigation had been launched following a complaint regarding the forward collision avoidance system, which is now either appears to have been unrelated or possibly a symptom of this larger issue.
The recall affects 2013-15 XTS models manufactured between February 14, 2012, and August 22, 2014, as well as 2014-15 Impalas manufactured between January 15, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes to precisely 132,921 units, while The Detroit News reports a higher total of 205,000 units - the difference potentially coming down to the scope within the US and more broadly across North America. Dealers will contact owners to update the software in order to fix the problem.
Cadillac ATS Coupe spy photos show more sedate two-door
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Remember when the Cadillac CTS Coupe debuted, and we were all like, "Oh hello there?" Well, don't expect the same thing to happen when the new ATS Coupe is unveiled - these brand new (overexposed) spy shots show a two-door that's decidedly more sedate than the angular yet curvaceous and all-around good-looking CTS Coupe. This isn't to say that the smaller Caddy Coupe won't be attractive - the four-door version is plenty pretty, to be sure - it just likely won't have that extra somethin'-somethin' to truly set it apart from the sedan.
Fine, then. We don't doubt that the two-door ATS will be just as enjoyable to drive as its sedan sibling, with a lot of the mechanical stuff likely carrying over unchanged. That includes the powertrain options, meaning buyers will be able to choose from the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four, turbocharged 2.0-liter four, or larger free-breathing 3.6-liter V6.
Look for the 2014 ATS Coupe to enter production in January of next year, meaning a reveal later this year (LA Auto Show, perhaps?) would be in order.
Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
