Franklin Park, New Jersey, United States

Much money has been spent to make this Eldorado convertible safe and reliable after sitting for 8 years. She
still needs some little things, but you can enjoy this Caddy as you fix her up a bit more.
*** Sports Car / Project Car / Trades Considered ***
This Eldorado convertible was recently re-commissioned after sitting garaged, in New Jersey for 8+ years. It was
purchased in Texas, driven up to New Jersey, used very little, then stored. The odometer shows 55K, I believe it to
be correct, the interior looks as so. The recent (2015) NJ title shows 154K
I just had this Eldorado professionally cleaned / polished on the outside to show the quality of the repaint
(some flaws as pictured) The chrome is very nice with some light weathering at the tops of the bumpers. This
interior will clean up much nicer as well as the engine bay, door jambs, trunk and undersides. There is new weather
stripping for the trunk, no leaks, but could use replacement.
Some of the work performed within the last 400 miles includes:
All Systems Were Cleaned and Flushed., the fuel tank cleaned, cooling system, oil changed (2X), transmission
fluid / filter changed and the brake system had new fluid when the hydraulics were replaced.
New Tires, Battery, Alternator, Tune-Up, R134 Refrigerant Upgrade (the air blows cold), A Complete Brake System
Overhaul (master cylinder, front calipers, rotors, pads rear wheel cylinders, drums and shoes)
This Eldorado is not perfect, but shows very well. All the body gaps and shut lines look great. The exterior trim
and moldings are in very nice condition with no dents, no heavy scrapes or gouges. The interior is soft and looks
great (just lightly cleaned) with only minimal wear. She has an earlier repaint (with some flaws, request
additional pictures), a newer convertible top with the glass rear window, a fiberglass top / boot cover is included
and a full size spare tire was purchased. The original owners manual, a factory shop manual and custom car cover
are included as well.
A Few Things Are Inoperable, Needing Attention: The Horn, The Clock, Passenger Side Power Door Lock, Rear Bumper
Fillers Are Cracked (new ones purchased & with the car), A Cracked Rear Reflector, Missing The Rear View Mirror,
The Muffler Sounds Raspy But Not Loud. This Caddy Needs To Be Driven.

J.D. Power customer survey of dealers counts Cadillac, Buick as big winners
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Cadillac and Buick have taken the trophies in J.D. Power's latest Customer Service Index Study examining satisfaction with dealer service. Surveying more than 90,000 owners and lessees of 2009-2013 model-year cars, the study found that those with pre-paid maintenance packages were ten percent more likely to buy their next car from the same brand.
Dealer satisfaction scores have improved overall, Cadillac nabbed the luxury segment ahead of Audi and Lexus, taking the crown that Lexus held last year. Buick keeps the mass-market dealer satisfaction win in the family, finishing ahead of Volkswagen and last year's winner GMC. The study also found that service department use of tablets increased customer satisfaction, as did "best practices" like "providing helpful advice." Who knew?
You can find details on those and more findings in the press release below.
2014 Cadillac ELR whirs into Jay Leno's Garage
Tue, 18 Jun 2013While 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.
