1998 Cadillac Deville D'elegance Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:65991
Location:

Stuttgart, Arkansas, United States

Stuttgart, Arkansas, United States

This 1998 Cadillac DeVille D'Elegance is from the estate of a lifelong friend who passed away in January 2014.  Purchased brand new in late 1997 from the local Cadillac dealer, this one-owner beauty has been meticulously maintained by the same owner and same dealer since new.  It is a non-smoker car that has been garage kept its entire life, and it shows.  When I pulled it out of the garage, I rinsed the light dust off of it and that's all I did.  She was so particular about her car that she has rubber mats over the carpeted mats.  The interior is immaculate.  Close inspection shows some very slight wear on the driver's seat bolsters (outside edge) from getting in and out, but you've got to look close.  There is no interior odor and, again, I didn't touch the interior prior to taking the photos.  

On the outside, it's unbelievable for a '98 model car.  There are a few slight pecks and dings, but hardly noticeable.  That's the beauty of a White car.  Curiously, the thin bright silver trim that circles the car within the side molding has some spots on some of the pieces, most noticeable on the left rear door, but I really don't think it's a distraction to the otherwise stunning appearance.  The Michelin tires look nearly brand new and the thin White stripe really sets off the dazzling chrome aluminum wheels.  Unlike the faux chrome wheels that automakers use today, these are genuine chromed aluminum wheels, exclusive to the d'Elegance model, and none have any curb damage.

Mechanically, it starts and runs perfectly.  The battery looks fairly new, but I can't be sure how old it is.  I only drove it a few miles, but checked everything out that I could.  The HVAC system operates great, all of the instrumentation is bright and functioning properly, the radio and CD player sound beautiful.  I didn't have a cassette to try, however, but would guess it works fine, too.  The d'Elegance model has rear seat sun visors and I did notice that the vanity mirror light didn't work on the left rear one.

There could be other things wrong with the car, as would be the case with any used vehicle, but you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer 1998 model car of any description, in my opinion.  Automakers don't make roomy, great riding, comfortable cars like these anymore.  For the money, this is a lot of car!

Of course, it is being sold As Is, Without Warranty.  Buyer assumes all risks.  It is impossible to know everything about a used car, or what might happen to it in the future, but from what I know about this one, who owned it, and how it was taken care of, I would not hesitate to load my family in it and go anywhere.

You are welcome to have it inspected by anyone you choose.  It has a clear, open title.  The title shows the previous title number to be the MSO.  The title was issued on 12/04/1997 and it had 89 miles on the odometer.  It has all of the original owner's manuals and glove box materials.  It has the two original ignition keys (one gold) with built in chip and several door keys (one gold).  It has one remote fob, and it works fine (the family could only find one fob).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I would like to be paid within 3 days of auction close.   Cash,  cashiers check or wire transfer preferred.  Buyer is responsible to pick up the car.  It is located in Stuttgart, Arkansas 72160.

Thanks so much for looking!

Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.

2014 Cadillac ELR whirs into Jay Leno's Garage

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

While Jerry Seinfeld was gallivanting around LA with Sarah Silverman in a Jaguar XKE, our favorite car-loving comedian, Jay Leno, was checking out the all-new 2014 Cadillac ELR. Set to go on sale later this year, Cadillac brought its ELR to Jay Leno's Garage to show off some of its styling and technology as well as give Leno some seat time in the range-extended EV. Leno owns both a Volt and a CTS-V, and the ELR is a kind combination of the two (sort of).
In this episode, Leno spends some time talking to Frank Saucedo, GM director of advanced design, and ELR chief engineer Chris Thomason before logging a few miles on the sleek coupe. Interestingly, it seems that GM has definitely changed its tune a little since the introduction of the Volt a couple years ago; Saucedo and Leno both refer to the ELR as a hybrid, and Thomason says that it gets the "bulk of its propulsion" from the electric motors. Whatever you want to call it, scroll down to watch the latest episode of JLG with some great information and driving shots of the plug-in Cadillac.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe configurator is ready to get personal

Wed, 17 Sep 2014

If you are in the market for a luxury coupe but would prefer it to be American, then you are in luck because the configurator for the 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe is now online.
Prices for the Cadillac start at $38,990 (including the $995 destination fee) for the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, or $46,145 for the 321-hp, 275-lb-ft 3.6-liter V6. Gearbox options include a six-speed manual on some 2.0 models or a six-speed automatic on both of them, and they can be ordered with all-wheel drive for $2,450 to the four-cylinder or $2,600 to the 3.6.
One thing that Cadillac does especially well here is giving customers a plethora of models and options to choose from. Trim level choices include standard, luxury, performance and premium for the four-cylinder or luxury, performance and premium for the V6. There are also 10 colors available, five of which carry an extra premium of $495 or $995. Upgraded interior packages for $1,295 add improved trim and leather, as well.
