I am Listing this car here on ebay on behalf of its true owner. He is the third owner, and has been since 1999. The car has been off the road since 2003.
Some of the HISTORY:
This car was purchased new in a dealership in Ft. Myers Florida in 1975. The car was purchased as an investment and stored in a warehouse until 1984. In 1988 This car was sold to the second owner In Garfield New Jersey. The car was purchased at that time with 4,300 Miles. Since then it was utilized until early 1994 and it was parked in storage until 1998 when it was purchased by the third and current registered owner. The car at that point was in need of restoration due to lack of use and being exposed to some elements. in 1999-2000 It was restored with new paint (oem color), and it was brought up to driving conditions. (New fluids, wires, plugs ect.) It was registered and kept in a garage in the owners home. It was taken off the road in 2003 and sat some months inside a garage and some outside the garage. I was contacted by the owner in order to get it ready to be sold last year in 2012. I have had this car in my possession ever since. The owner and I have put a new top on the car (due to 1-2 inch tear on the back of the top) and I have had it in storage on my property for almost a year my garage. (I have a clean clear NJ title) I have driven the car sporadically and have put some work into it while it has been in my possession, I fixed a few minor glitches (electrical) and It received a new convertible top in 2012. The car is ALL ORIGNAL I have not replaced anything besides the top, engine oil, and brakes (rear). It starts runs and drives very well!! Like a cadillac should. The miles on the Cadillac read 12,568. The odometer works, However I do not know if they are supposed to be 12K or 112K. I am told by the owner, it had 8900 when he bought it in 1999. Sorry for any inconvenience! They are believed to be true miles however I cannot verify!!

Cadillac ATS failing to command BMW 3 Series-like pricing as hoped
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The BMW 3 Series has long been the benchmark for small and sporty luxury vehicles, but the Cadillac ATS has come on strong in its short time on the market as a true rival in this segment. As impressive as Cadillac's new compact sedan is, however, Automotive News is reporting that the car is still lagging behind the 3 Series when it comes to actual transaction pricing.
According to the article, the average transaction price for the ATS is $39,459 while the 3 Series is at a much larger $44,764, but, just as importantly, Cadillac has about $500 more in incentives on the ATS compared to BMW. Transaction prices are much closer to cars like the Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4. Of course, this is all with the ATS trying to take on its small,sport sedan rivals with a single bodystyle and limited powertrain options compared to the numerous options available from the German automakers in this class.
This uneven battle won't last long, though, as recent spy shots have revealed that Cadillac is hard at work on a high-performance ATS-V and an ATS Coupe. No official word as to when either of these models will be unveiled, but with auto show season set to kick off, we're expecting sooner rather than later. The best news for the ATS is that the Automotive News says sales of the ATS are on target and that 74 percent of ATS buyers are new to Cadillac - two important factors for the brand as it tries to break into this tough segment.
GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
Online Find Of The Day: 2008 Cadillac XLR picks up where Excalibur left off
Thu, 23 May 2013We try very, very hard to keep snark away from creations like the one you see here. After all, someone poured plenty of enthusiasm, time and money into turning a 2008 Cadillac XLR into a modern interpretation of the new-old cars typically done by cottage builders like Excalibur and Clénet. Even so, it's hard not to wince when you set an eye on this machine. With its wheelbase stretched to accommodate the extra bodywork, goofy sidewalls and upkicked nose (examine it in profile, it looks slightly bent in the middle), this "neoclassic" takes whatever was loveable about the Cadillac underneath and buries it in a tacky grave.
Miraculously, the engine bay has been left unmolested, which means the retractable hardtop convertible still features a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine good for 320 horsepower. If only that were enough to outrun its shame. If, for some reason, you feel like taking this thing home, Harry Kaufmann Motorcars of Milwaukee says it can be yours for a paltry $74,998. We wish were joking. Check it out here.
