1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible Mint One Owner Low Miles Clean! Look on 2040-cars
Lutz, Florida, United States
This 1984 Cadillac Biarritz convertible is one of the cleanest examples on the road and for sale at this time. It is a one owner original example of the finest trim GM had to offer in the mid 1980s. There were only 3,300 or so of these cars produced. Many experts say that these low production Biarritz are among the most sound investments as far as 1980's General Motors vehicles are concerned.
It wears its original paint that shines well with only two small blemishes on the hood (pictured). The "Autumn Maple Firemist" Red is hands down the best color available and was a premium color which cost extra when ordered new. I would easily give this paint and body a 9 out if 10. There is ZERO rust on the body of this car anywhere. It has spent it's entire life inside a garage. It is amazing that 34 year old paint can shine so well. The white and red interior looks great and gets a solid 8 out of 10. The arctic white leather shows great and is the nicest original Biarritz interior I have seen. The only noticeable flaws are two very small cracks by the defrost vents, two digits are out on the radio display (still functions correctly) and the front seats and door driver door panel have had previous repair (see pictures). That said, it is still the best looking '84 Eldorado I have seen to date. The red high pile carpet looks good and is stain free. The original white convertible top functions correctly and looks good, but upon close inspection you can tell that it is a 34 year old top. The electric top motor works as it should and with the touch of a button, all four windows roll down with the top. The glass rear window and the rest of the glass on the car is clean, clear and crack free as well. The motor is original and runs well. The car has 34k miles and for a 34 year old car drives fantastic. The A/C and heat function as they should as well as the brakes and power steering. There is a small oil and transmission leak when the car sits. When driven semi regularly, it does not seem to leak. The tires have plenty of tread and no dry rot but they do have flat spots from sitting in the same place for periods of time. This car is for sale by the estate of the original owner and is sold with a clean clear Florida title. I have driven this Cadillac on many occasions and I can honestly say they it makes you feel like a king behind the wheel. The car can be viewed by appointment, and I encourage it. Shipping costs are the buyers responsibility, but I will be happy to help assist in arranging shipping. I have both bought and sold many vehicles on eBay and I know the drill. A $1000.00 deposit is due via paypal within 24 hours of auction close and the balance is due within 72 hours. Please do not bid if you do not understand how eBay works or if you do not have the means to complete the transaction. Please send questions through eBay or call me at (813)299-8275 with any questions. The car is listed for sale locally and this auction may end early if sold locally. |

2017 GMC Canyon steals Cadillac's V6 for a little more power
Mon, Aug 29 2016GMC is fortifying the Canyon with a new powertrain and two new trim levels for 2017. GMC will give the Canyon the 3.6-liter V6 found in the Cadillac ATS, CTS, CT6, and XT5 crossover. The engine will be matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which also can be found on Cadillacs, the new 2017 Colorado, and other General Motors vehicles. The new engine comes with variable valve timing, improved direct injection, and Active Fuel Management, which is a form of cylinder deactivation that shuts off two cylinders to increase fuel efficiency and performance. Power is up from 305 to 308 horsepower, while torque increases from 269 to 275 pound-feet of torque compared to the old 3.6-liter V6. With the new transmission, the Canyon benefits from a higher first gear ratio, which should help drivers get off the line more easily when towing large cargo, and lower overdrive ratios for improved fuel efficiency. The 2016 model had a six-speed automatic. The Colorado also gets the eight-speed transmission for '17. GMC previously announced the All Terrain X and Denali models. The All Terrain X trim is offered on the SLE model and comes with the new 3.6-liter V6 engine or the 2.8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel. The All Terrain X gets Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac P225/65R17 all-terrain tires, a body-color grille surround and matching rear step bumper, bespoke 17-inch aluminum wheels, and a spray-on bedliner. The truck also is fortified with Hill Descent Control and an off-road suspension. The Denali carries the flag as the most luxurious Canyon model and gets a Bose seven-speaker audio system, more chrome, and interior upgrades. In addition to the new models and the powertrain, the 2017 Canyon will be offered with new colors – Dark Slate Metallic, Mineral Metallic, and Red Quartz Metallic – a new IntelliLink radio with a seven-inch touchscreen, a heated steering wheel as an optional extra, and Standard Teen Driver Mode. The 2017 Canyon, with all of its changes, will be available in the fourth quarter of the year.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
MIT puts V2V technology on its 2015 Top Ten list
Thu, Mar 5 2015Of all the technologies swimming around the automotive world, it is vehicle-to-vehicle communication that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has fished out as one of its Ten Breakthrough Technologies of 2015. It joined emerging tech like brain organoids, supercharged photosynthesis, and Project Loon on the list, and got the nod over autonomous driving because, as the MIT Technology Review wrote, V2V communication "is likely to have a far bigger and more immediate effect on road safety." How so? Because actual cars transmitting data like their location, speed, steering angle, and state of braking to one another at least ten times per second provides a greater degree of awareness than sensor readings and algorithms. The US Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have been working for years on standards and a regulatory schedule for introducing V2V to the marketplace, and Cadillac plans to incorporate V2V into at least one of its vehicles by 2017. Since we've begun the year with a number of stories of cars being hacked into, that got us wondering about the security of V2V communications. In a recent piece by our own Pete Bigelow on what motorists should know about getting their cars hacked into, he wrote that although cyber break-ins are extremely difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to do remotely, V2V is "one more conceivable avenue a hacker could use to impact multiple cars at a given time." So we spoke to Wilmington, Massachusetts-based Security Innovation about it. The automotive consultancy company has been working with the DOT since 2003 on V2V technology and the issues around it - namely security and privacy - and its chief scientist, William Whyte, is the technical editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1609.2 standard outlining its security protocols. Those protocols are expected to be finalized by the DOT toward the end of this year and then come into effect in 2016, and the company's Aerolink product is the security solution Cadillac will use. Whyte said, "If you hack into a car, V2V is the hardest place to start," and Pete Samson, the general manager of Security Innovation's automotive team, said "There are ten or 12 alternate attack surfaces" around the car that would make much easier targets.
