1988 Cadillac Allante White Pearl Convertible Soft And Hard Top W/red Leather on 2040-cars
Edinburg, Texas, United States
This automobile is in very good shape for its age. The engine, transmission and brakes are all very strong. The car was repainted in 2011. A guy hit the left fender in the parking lot at my mechanic. The paint could not be matched so it had to be repainted. It has centerline wheels which will buff to a mirror shine. The car was purchased in San Luis Obispo, Ca and lived in CA until 2005. The leather is soft and shows very little wear. No scuffs or tears. The soft top is serviceable and does not leak, but not very attractive. The air conditioning works but shuts off with the error message "needs refrigerant charge" after about 15 minutes of operation. It is an unconverted R-12 system and cools very well when fully charged. The car has some eccentricities. You cannot lock the car with the electric locks without triggering the alarm system. The passenger door window switch doesn't work, driver's side opens both windows does but switch is reversed. Trunk pulldown doesn't work. Tape deck doesn't work. There is a small chip on the front bumper and a scratch on the driver's side of the rear bumper. Neither photographed well enough to show in pictures. The car has always been garaged and there is only a little surface rust on the undercarriage. Only 2569 of them were made.
I've bought several cars on ebay and was always disappointed in the car when it arrived. I don't want the buyer of this car to be similarly disappointed, so I have tried to list all of this car's frailties as I know them. It is not a show car, but one you can be proud to drive. This car is sold without warranty express or implied, strictly an "as is, where is" sale. I will help the buyer with arranging shipping, or he can pick it up. Sales on ebay form a contract, are final, and should be taken seriously. Membership privileges are always at stake for the non-paying bidder. $500 non-refundable deposit is due 24 hours after closing of the auction with balance in 3 days. Payment accepted by wire transfer (EFT) or Paypal. |

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.

A few signs that Cadillac's revival is taking hold
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Only a flatworm would not have predicted the Cadillac ATS would help increase sales for America's erstwhile luxury brand of record; however, even the best automotive oracles didn't realize by how much: The ATS fueled a 49-percent increase of the brand's year-on-year sales in March, the sixth straight month of growth for Cadillac. The momentum helped push General Motors to post a 6.4-increase in sales in March versus 2012, leading its domestic competitors.
Dealership salesmen are among the first to register the shift occurring at Cadillac. A Texas dealer related an incident in which he helped a mother affix a baby seat in a car for a test drive, explaining that as opposed to the older buyers that are still a Cadillac mainstay he's getting "a pretty diverse group that's coming through the door now" who are "younger and better educated." Aided by incentives on the ATS, Cadillac's sales are up 38 percent so far this year, overtaking Acura as the fourth best selling luxury brand, and GM stock is benefiting with incremental gains because of it. Based on early response, the new 2014 Cadillac CTS should keep things going in the same direction.
The trend at the Wreath and Crest is part of a larger sales trend happening among domestics - with other models like the Dodge Dart and Ford Fusion doing well - and overall US car sales. Head over to Bloomberg for the big picture and role the ATS plays in it.
