Problem with car after you read:
This is our Eldorado for the past eight years. Bought the car from family of an old gentlemen in Oregon. He passed away and the daughter already had a vehicle so she did not want to keep it. As you can see by the photos, it has always been garaged as the paint and chrome is quite nice after 20 years. It has always been serviced regularly and driven conservatively. When the rpm's are only 1650 at 60 mph, the engine is running quite slow compared to many vehicles. The motor has never used any oil, and when you start it, never any noise etc as it has not been abused.
Check out the pics. See the Zambrano wood trim in mint condition, and paint is quite nice as well. The spare nor the jack have ever been used to my knowledge, at least since we have owned it. I keep another set of floor mats over the original mats to protect them. If you notice, I changed out the stereo to a Kenwood Execlon unit so that I could copy my cd's to a USB stick and play my old music in the car. This unit is XM ready and has a jack for other kinds of devices. All it would need is a puck to receive signal. The stereo is connected to the original Bose amp with Bose speakers. This unit has a remote control, which you can see in the pictures. You can change sources for am, fm, usb, standby, etc. It's nice to use when driving. I told them when they installed it to use universal connections so the next owner could put back the original Bose/CD unit which will be left in the car for it's new owner. The original Delco Bose Gold Series unit works well also with its Am/FM cassette player and CD. You could put it back in if you wish. About 6 years ago I sent the power antennae out to be fixed. It has a plastic filament that goes up and down, well it broke again, so I unplugged the antennae. Whenever you turn on the stereo, it automatically goes up, then down when you turn off stereo or stop and turn the key off. There are still folks fixing these as the power unit is in great shape.
So very few Eldorados have an electronic digital dash unit along with the column shift. Most Eldos are analog display. This makes this car more rare and collectible. Also very few of this particular color were sold. Don't know why as it is a stunning look on this body style? That also adds to the collectability of the car. The original owners manual including the original keys with one original key fob are included with the original stereo. Notice the keys have a secure chip in them. The old man who owned this before must have had long fingernails as the buttons are worn down. It still locks, and unlocks just fine. The trunk also has another pad inside to protect the original carpet. It will be included. I will also leave a USB stick with about 10 gigabytes of a variety of music of oldies, classic country, jazz, love songs, etc, etc. If you don't like, just delete or don't use. Will also leave the manual for the Kenwood stereo unit which explains the remote control, etc.
Just want to be upfront with you all. This car will not come with a smog certificate. I went to have it smogged, and it passed at 30mph, but not at 15mph according to the report. Guy said put some additive in tank and change something called an EGR module, so I had that changed and rechecked. Well, again no go. Then he said try catalytic converter, so I had that replaced. It passes on everything except nox?? Maybe in your state, smog requirements are different than California. I know the spark plugs have not been changed for 6 years and someone told me I should try that. Oh well. My wife thought this might be a sign, so she said get a new car, and that is what I did.
This car has recent new water pump and radiator, as they both started seeping, so I had those replaced. Battery is a year old. Maybe could use shocks in rear, as when you go over bumps, it makes a bit of noise. Never replaced those and probably has originals on it.
It's time for me to let it go. I grow weary of taking it to a garage and having them scratch it, or dent it more than it is.
Understand, this is not a new car and is not perfect, but is a rare preserved 20 year old classic that will never be produced again. I only hope someone with a garage, and a love of cars gets it.
Send an email if you need more info or pictures or leave a phone, and I will return.

Comparing Cadillac's crazy classy coupes
Wed, May 6 2015I just returned from the press launch of Cadillac's new ATS-V, a high-performance version of the US luxury marque's entry-level compact car. While ordinary ATVs offer a choice of a 202-horspower, 4-cylinder, a 272-hp turbocharged four or a 321-hp V-6, this one packs a twin-turbo V-6 that pumps out 464 thoroughbred horses and 445 pound-feet of hard-charging torque. Starting at $62,000 for the sedan and $64,000 for the sexy coupe, ATS-Vs are available with a 6-speed manual (with Active Rev Matching and no-lift shift capability) or an 8-speed automatic with steering-wheel shift paddles. They comes with GM's latest 4-mode Magnetic Ride Control, 5-mode Performance Traction Management (with launch control), competition-spec traction and stability controls, an electronic limited-slip differential, specially-tuned electric power steering, huge Brembo brakes, and added air cooling for their engine, transmission, and rear axle lubricants. They roll on 18-inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport tri-compound summer tires on 9-inch-wide front alloy wheels and 9.5-inch-wide rears. And they will rocket from rest to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds while delivering 16 city EPA miles per gallon and 24 highway with the automatic and 17/23 with the manual transmission. The obvious purpose of all this technology is to effectively endow Cadillac's latest V-Series models with a rarely achieved true dual personality: go, stop, and corner like race cars on a track, then sooth, coddle, and entertain like luxury cars on the way to and from the track, or work. We had ample opportunity to verify both personalities with multiple hot laps of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) Grand Prix course, followed by a more leisurely drive on public roads near Austin, TX. Even lacking wheel-to-wheel comparisons, we believe these hot new ATS-Vs are fully competitive with their pricier German competitors, and probably superior in some ways. So now, Cadillac will offer not one but two very sharp-looking, upscale, small-volume, 2016 compact coupes, almost the same size and at similar prices, but with totally different missions: this new high-performance ATS-V and the soon-to-be-upgraded ELR extended-range EV. The key question: why? Aside from its cramped back seat and ridiculous $76,000 starting price, I loved the ELR when it was introduced for 2014.
Reuss says Cadillac CT6-based Buick could happen
Wed, Apr 15 2015Could the upcoming Cadillac CT6 and its Omega platform spawn a Buick variant? According to General Motors' product chief Mark Reuss, it could potentially be in the cards, but "not yet." "We're working on that," Reuss told Automotive News at the 2015 New York Auto Show. While there hasn't been a large, rear-drive Buick on dealerships since the Roadmaster in 1996, the company gave a big hint that it could head in that direction with the Avenir Concept, shown earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. As Automotive News explains, a rear-drive Omega-platform Buick could be a real hit in China, where consumers buy 13 Buicks for every one Cadillac. That move would be a big help to GM's bottom line, too, as it'd significantly increase the Omega platform's economy of scale. If a large Buick based on the CT6 were to head to China, though, it likely wouldn't be a simple case of badge engineering (thank God). Reuss hinted to Automotive News that while the mixed-material construction of the CT6 platform "is very flexible," doing an "identical version of that platform or not is a different conversation." What are your thoughts? Should Buick adopt the Omega platform for an Avenir-based sedan? Should that vehicle be sold here in the US, or should it be a China-only offering? Have your say in Comments.

Cadillac considering more engines, Vsport model for Escalade
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Want to roll in the latest Cadillac Escalade? You can get it with a 6.2-liter V8... or a 6.2-liter V8. Cadillac only offers the one engine option. But that may soon change.
According to the latest from Automotive News, Cadillac is contemplating a couple of new powertrain options for its blingin' big ute. The report suggests a twin-turbo V6 and a V6 turbodiesel could be offered, and that Cadillac could create a Vsport version of the Escalade like it offers on the new CTS sedan.
The more diverse engine offerings would help attract buyers from the new Lincoln Navigator, its prime competitor, which switched from a 5.4-liter V8 this year to a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. The turbo V6 engines (both gasoline and diesel) would also help Cadillac market the Escalade overseas - particularly in Europe, where higher fuel prices preclude the prospect of driving a big V8 SUV for many buyers. Escalade sales have dropped from 35-40k units in the mid-2000s to around 12,000 the past couple of years.
