Up for NO RESRVE is a beautiful triple black 1992 Cadillac Allante! With exceptionally low miles, this work of art shows it has been maintained thoroughly and properly cared for. The previous owner really did take pride in this masterpiece. It was pleasing to see everything is still original and so perfectly preserved, just for you!

The Allante was only manufactured from 1987 to 1983 with only 21,000 made. The Allante was Cadillac’s answer to the Jaguar XJS, and the Mercedes-Benz SL. The story about the Allante’s assembly line is true. The roadsters body was designed and manufactured in Italy (explaining the Pininfarina emblem on the front fender). The bodies were shipped on a special Boeing 747 plane to be assembled with the American made chassis and engine at Cadillac’s assembly plant in Detroit, 4,600 miles away.  The 1992 model was a great year for Cadillac. This particular model was $58,965 brand new. The digital gauge cluster was optional at an additional $495. This was the last year for the high end, popular, multi-adjustable Recaro seats.

INTERIOR: The sleek charcoal black interior is all in great shape. This car does not show stress from time or from driving. The leather was all in excellent shape. The seats are very comfortable and there is a lot of room. I noticed that all the digital gauges work as they should. The radio sounds like its high end and the power antenna still works. A car of this age usually has a broken or stripped gear causing the antenna not to work. The A/C system is honestly debatable; it was about 50 degrees when I drove the vehicle. I am positive it works. The air was blowing cold and hard but was warm when selected. I pushed every button and turned every dial and everything appeared to be in perfectly working order. There is a factory CD player and tape deck in this Cadillac! There is a very minor imperfection on the right side of the radio; there is a section of trim that is not fully adhered. I was tempted to fix it myself, but I know there are purists out there that would not appreciate it. Just a little contact adhesive would fix this as this is the only flaw on this truly unique car.

EXTERIOR: You can set your expectations high on this car and it will not let you down. The beautiful, rich finish on the car is smooth and still has a deep color. I have not seen any scratches or dents. This car was garage kept and there is not a spec of any rust. The convertible top still functions flawlessly and has no rips or tares. Also very easy to operate, there are no leaks!  All the accessories are still with the car. The seams are in great shape and the canvas does not look faded. The tires have great tread left and the original wheels have no damage. All of the lights are working as well as the signal indicators.

MOTOR/HANDLING: The anticipation was building when I was checking the car out. I could not wait to see how this roadster would drive/handle. After a well worth 25 minute drive, as I expected, I could not form any complaints. The coupe starts right up every time and the automatic transmission shifts through the gears without any hesitations. The acceleration is very responsive but also smooth when needed. A casual 0-60 mph was great, but the car feels like it wants more. The steering feels very solid, tight, and precise but smooth and straight at the same time. Higher speeds the suspension is very comforting, the car feels like it holds its form no matter what. You don’t feel like you are being thrown around when steering hard. The Allante feels very light but solid and stiff. This car will not stress when shifting its weight through the body and frame from side to side. The brake system feels advanced, like every car should be. They are very responsive but with little back pressure, the car feels balanced the whole time. The next thing you know the car is completely stopped. At high speeds there are no vibrations from the brakes, wheels, or even suspension. The exhaust sounds original and with no leaks. There are no odors, fumes, or smoke coming from the engine bay. The Engine bay looks like it’s never been cleaned, and doesn’t need to be. The oil schedule has been recorded and is still not even ready. This was a wonderful experience and a dream to drive.

This car has not been modified and its beauty is easy to see and admire. Anyone can appreciate its condition and its originality. The previous owner babied this car and drove it less than 4k miles a year, industry average is 12k-15k miles. Any high or low end car with low miles is hard to find, but in barely used condition, this Cadillac Allante is VERY rare. Black on black with a black top really suits this car well. With no repairs needed, this unique Italian sports car only needs an owner that will appreciate its rare condition, beauty and performance. If you are seriously interested, feel free to message me. I am considering real offers. Thank you for looking and happy bidding!

For Maryland residents, you can take this car home same day. It is over 20 years old so it can be tagged historic. In most cases, older cars need extensive repairs to pass inspection. But in this rare case, this car had absolutely nothing wrong with it, and it is already Maryland State Inspected for you! It can be tagged regularly if desired.

PA residents: The PA inspection sticker is good through 6/14!

GM recalls 2014 Cadillac CTS recall

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

No, that headline isn't a typo - General Motors has reportedly issued a recall for one of its own recalls. The recall of a recall affects the recall of the 2014 Cadillac CTS, which wasn't supposed to be recalled. Except that the 2014 CTS was supposed to be recalled. Oh no, now we've gone cross-eyed.
Allow us to explain. The redesigned, third-generation CTS Sedan does not feature a faulty ignition switch, while the 2014 CTS Coupe and Wagon, which are based on the second-gen car, do. And as it turns out, there are only 264 of those vehicles included in last week's 8.2-million-unit, ignition-switch recall. Model year 2003 to 2013 CTS Sedans, Coupes and Wagons are still covered.
It's not entirely clear how this, frankly, colossal mistake was made, although we're betting GM is rapidly trying to get to the bottom of this embarrassing issue. Regardless, let's just take what solace we can in there being one less vehicle that GM has recalled this year.

Cadillac rushing update for laggy CUE infotainment system

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

BMW's innovative iDrive was introduced in 2001, and a dozen years later, automakers are still learning hard lessons about what consumers want in their infotainment systems. In response to owner feedback - and a few media drubbings - about the delayed and occasionally fickle responses of its CUE (short for Cadillac User Experience) system, Cadillac has told Wired that it's going to issue an update this year.
Coming for the XTS and ATS, the new software will mean quicker haptic feedback to driver inputs on the touchscreen and the buttons, and snappier responses on screen. Down the road, Cadillac's VP of marketing says that a different mix of screen controls and hard buttons is "something you'll be seeing in the future" - the system is presently a mix of touchscreen-based controls and capacitive-touch switchgear - there are no knobs or physical pushbuttons to speak of, and the omission of both has proven to be a divisive issue among consumers and industry pundits.
Cadillac hasn't provided a date for when the CUE update will be issued, but it has indicated that the service will be performed by dealers, not sent wirelessly.

Cadillac CTS-V spotted with big exhaust, new grille?

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

If you thought Cadillac was content to leave its twin-turbocharged Vsport as the range-topping CTS, think again. Behold, our first good glimpse at the next-generation Cadillac CTS-V sedan, sporting more aggressive styling (somewhere under there), meaty quad-exhaust pipes, and what very well could be a new face for the V-badged Caddies.
Creating an all-new grille design seems like an awful lot of work just for a prototype, so it's very possible that the vertical-bar treatment you see here could make its way into production. Our spy photographers have pointed out that they've seen this same sort of grille treatment on prototypes for the smaller ATS-V sedan, and we've heard V-series models may soon have greater differentiation from the standard vehicles that sired them - that seems especially necessary if Cadillac insists on expanding this whole Vsport range.
Regardless of how its front end looks, the CTS-V ought to be a real monster. Industry sources say we can expect to see a supercharged version of General Motors' 6.2-liter V8 under the Caddy's hood, and considering the current car already makes 556 horsepower and 551 pound-feet of torque, we wouldn't be surprised to see a decent increase in both of those numbers. After all, one of the CTS-V's main competitors, the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, is currently putting out 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Could this mean a 600-hp Cadillac is on the horizon?
