1984 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe
Up for Auction: SUPER LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! A very nice 1984 Caddy Eldorado 2 dr coupe. This car was originally sold here in Tucson and basically never left unless it was for a road trip or 2. What you wont find on the car is any rust on the car. Its your typical rust free Az car with a solid body. The car was always parked in a garage or a carport so the Az sun didnt get to it as badly as some cars. Best we can tell, its still the original white paint which is showing its age and its getting faded in areas. I think most of it could be clay barred and brought back to look pretty nice if you wanted to and buff it out with a good wax job and it could look even better. We may try to do that this week with a local detailer we use.
Factory V8 car loaded like you would expect from a Caddy Some back story about the car, the car was owned by a friend of mines dad, he bought it new in 84 from the original owner and drove it up till about 03, when it got parked for something smaller. Around that time w/ aprox 127k on the car he basically parked the car when he bought a new car, so this car as essentially sat under cover for the last 11 yrs with an empty gas tank. To get it back on the road, we changed some of the fluids, dropped the tank and put a new fuel pump and screen in (just to be safe), put in some fresh gas and with a few cranks of the key, it fired right up. It runs and drives like an older Caddy should. The tires look good but I know are pretty old.
DRIVETRAIN: the original throttle body injected V8 motor runs and sounds good. It idles nice and runs like it should. We where going to do more of a tune up on it, but its been running so well Im leaving it alone. Nice and unmolested under the hood its almost like a time capsule there. AC clicks on using the climate control on the dash, but doesnt get that cool. So at the very least it will need a charge. The hood struts are worn out and dont hold up the hood anymore by themselves. Again, an easy fix they are available all over pretty cheap. INTERIOR: All original blue velour interior shows minor wear and actually looks pretty awesome for its age. Think the only seat that ever got used was the driver seat. All the electronics seem to work and the gadgets on this car for 1981 are way ahead of its time. Impressive for its age. The pics always make the car look better in pics, but this car the is really clean inside too. The steering column has the typical loose feel to it, typical of most GMs from this ERA, generally its an easy fix, but you have to remove the SW and get to the loose nuts down in the column to tighten it up. 9x out of 10 thats usually the all it is in these 80s GM columns. EXTERIOR: What looks to be like the original white paint, the body is very straight and paint could be buffed out some to look nicer too if you wanted to restore the car. Restoring this car wouldnt take a whole lot or just drive it the way it is and enjoy it. As is this car would be a nice daily driver (tires would be the first thing I would change on it). The stainless and chrome on this car are in amazing shape for their age too. There is alot on the car from front to back from the factory.
SUSPENSION: all factory the best I can tell and Im sure some bushings are old and shocks, things where replaced or fixed as needed. Feels normal and solid like a Cadillac riding on a cloud :) Smooth with no weird noises, and brakes probably need to be bled (from sitting) the car stops, but Ill bleed them this week.
SOME STUFF I KNOW IT NEEDS ARE: power antenna broken, some plastic filler parts between the rear bumper and body brittle and broken in a few areas, dr door simply wont open from the inside or outside. Flip up part of the trunk lock cover broken, chrome trim around dr side headlight bezel cracked & dr interior door panel showing some wear, and the trim on the steering wheel is peeling off. Most of this stuff is minor and easy fixes, but you may miss them in the pics so I wanted to mention them
Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you have it, probably The BEST represented ELDOs on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes.
Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.
Our auctions have NOTHING to hide . Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know exactly what you have in the end.

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Following the introduction of the redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, we're expecting General Motors won't wait too much longer to show off the next-generation fullsize SUVs that share this platform - including the Cadillac Escalade. It's still not clear if the next Escalade will debut for the 2014 or 2015 model years, but Carscoops has what it claims to an exclusive first look of the new Cadillac, revealing a portion of the headlight, front fascia and wheel.
Judging from this small picture, it looks like the Escalade could incorporate styling cues that we've seen on new Cadillac models like the ELR and the 2014 CTS, but that article says that other design details could include tall, vertical taillights similar to the CTS Wagon, staggered-width wheels and a narrower daylight opening for the side windows. The last time we saw the fourth-generation 'Slade back in October in spy shots, the heavy camouflage prevented us from getting an idea of the luxury SUV's appearance, but this image and description gives us something to look forward to. Head on over to Carscoops for more potential information as well as a full rendering from back in January.

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
