1996 Cadillac Deville Base Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
North Babylon, New York, United States
|
Up for auction is a beautiful 1996 Cadillac DeVille. I am selling this for my parents. They have owned it for around 5 years and have had the car serviced and maintained as required, including the replacement of certain parts. They bought it as a second car but now my dad does not drive as much these days so they only need one car.
This car in this color really stands out. You just don't see many in this color and it has the older, more sought- after Cadillac styling, before they went with the angular styling. Car has plenty of power and the transmission shifts smoothly as if it were new, and the passing gear will really put you back in your seat for a large vehicle. All of the features in this car work, all of the dashboard diagnostic information works. Air Conditioning and heat work excellent as do all the power seats, window, and electric trunk pull down. AC was serviced and the large part in the firewall was replaced (I think it is the condenser). This was a labor intensive job that you don't have to worry about. Also serviced were the brakes and some brake lines were replaced. The alternator was replaced and the battery is brand new (1000 CCA Duralast Gold). The tires are in excellent condition. One of them is a blackwall because that particular tire got a flat and they did not have the thin whitewall style in stock. So that is a new blackwall tire and the other three are fairly new whitewalls under three years old with less than 5,000 miles on them in my estimation. Body has no rust and underneath is solid too. Car was garaged so that may be why the body is in such good shape. Owners do not smoke. Interior smells nice, not musty or anything like that. See pictures for rest of the description. Look at the condition of this car. The body and undercarriage seem to defy aging. This car has the beautiful "ragtop" roof and upper door trim which adds to its beauty. The body is almost perfect but has one or two dings (that you'd be hard pressed to find), and almost unnoticeable scratches here and there from normal use. There is a mark on the cloth top that I did not try to remove for fear of the color running. Headliner is nice and there is no water leakage inside the vehicle. Car is very quiet inside and glass is perfect. Stereo and cassette player work, though some speakers should be replaced due to their age. I believe this car to have cruise control (I checked that feature in the auction listing) but I am not 100% sure. If it does, I don't think we ever used it. This car likes to be piloted. Issues: This car is my parents' car. It has 82,000 miles on it and runs, looks, and drives great. Just this winter it started leaking a little oil(after sitting for a while since they don't use it in the snow and we've had a lot of snow) which is common for the Northstar engine. I dried the bottom of the motor a few weeks ago and it only dripped a few drops since. Also, if the car is not used for a while, the battery sometimes loses charge (common for these cars and can be easily remedied). The latter is an easy fix and I was going to fix it for them but now they are selling it so the next owner can fix it if desired. The oil leak could be costly (or not) but does not have to be addressed now whatsoever. This car can be used as a regular driver in the condition it is in right now. I have driven it from time to time and it is so comfortable and fun to drive. With the large interior, all occupants are comfortable, unlike some of today's so-called luxury cars that skimp on space. The rear auto leveling works as is should too. Note: Contents in trunk are not part of the auction. I left them in there so you can see how much it holds. If you want to see the car in person, email me and I will coordinate a visit with my parents. Any questions you may have, I will do my best to answer them. If I don't know the answer I will ask may folks and then email you back so I may need a day to get back to you but I will do my best. Note: CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AS WELL. SO IF IT SELLS LOCALLY, I WILL END THE AUCTION DUE TO THE CAR BEING SOLD LOCALLY. Bid with Confidence as I have 100% feedback. Buyer sends $400.00 deposit via Paypal only and is responsible for picking up vehicle or making arrangements for vehicle to be picked up after full payment has cleared. Vehicle will not be released until full payment is received and clears. Car is in 11703 location. Car is sold as-is due to age. There is no warranty on this vehicle. |

Cadillac ATS was almost front-wheel drive
Wed, 03 Apr 2013"We were going to do a front-wheel drive Cadillac compact off of Delta because it was going to be less expensive," Doug Parks, General Motors' vice president of global product programs, told the Automotive News during the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year. That sentence, referring to early ATS discussions more than five years ago - a period when the automaker, and the industry, was struggling - reveals that Cadillac's highly acclaimed rear-wheel drive compact sedan almost never happened.
Parks revealed that that automaker actually built a 2.0-liter test mule, on GM's Delta platform (shared with the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano) and tested it in Europe. While the prototype was "pretty darn good," according to Parks, the team realized that in order to compete against Mercedes-Benz and BMW it would have to invest in a new rear-wheel drive platform.
The resulting all-new Alpha platform would eventually underpin the Cadillac ATS, and many would argue that its balanced rear-wheel drive chassis is its single most important attribute. Thankfully, the Alpha's goodness won't stop with the ATS. The upcoming 2014 Cadillac CTS and the future Camaro will also share its architecture, meaning the Cimarron will remain a distant memory.
Cadillac sales chief Peffer resigns amidst slow sales
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Cadillac continues to hemorrhage executives, as it's just seen its fourth high-level departure in the past year. Vice President of Global Strategic Development Don Butler (who defected to Ford) and European President and Managing Director Susan Docherty both left the company of their own volition, while Chase Hawkins, Cadillac's vice president of sales and service, was fired following a "violation of policy" in July of 2013. Strangely, it's Hawkins' replacement, Bill Peffer (shown above), who has handed in his papers this time around.
"Bill left to pursue other interests. Kurt McNeil replaces him, effective immediately," spokesman David Caldwell told Autoblog via email.
McNeil last held the VP of sales and service position back in 2012. He's currently the vice president of US sales for all of General Motors. According to The Detroit News, McNeil will take on the post in what is likely an interim capacity.
Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys
Wed, Mar 18 2015General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.
