Problem with car after you read:

This is our Eldorado for the past eight years. Bought the car from family of an old gentlemen in Oregon. He passed away and the daughter already had a vehicle so she did not want to keep it.  As you can see by the photos, it has always been garaged as the paint and chrome is quite nice after 20 years. It has always been serviced regularly and driven conservatively. When the rpm's are only 1650 at 60 mph, the engine is running quite slow compared to many vehicles. The motor has never used any oil, and when you start it, never any noise etc as it has not been abused. 

Check out the pics. See the Zambrano wood trim in mint condition, and paint is quite nice as well. The spare nor the jack have ever been used to my knowledge, at least since we have owned it. I keep another set of floor mats over the original mats to protect them. If you notice, I changed out the stereo to a Kenwood Execlon unit so that I could copy my cd's to a USB stick and play my old music in the car. This unit is XM ready and has a jack for other kinds of devices. All it would need is a puck to receive signal. The stereo is connected to the original Bose amp with Bose speakers. This unit has a remote control, which you can see in the pictures. You can change sources for am, fm, usb, standby, etc. It's nice to use when driving.  I told them when they installed it to use universal connections so the next owner could put back the original Bose/CD unit which will be left in the car for it's new owner. The original Delco Bose Gold Series unit works well also with its Am/FM cassette player and CD. You could put it back in if you wish. About 6 years ago I sent the power antennae out to be fixed. It has a plastic filament that goes up and down, well it broke again, so I unplugged the antennae. Whenever you turn on the stereo, it automatically goes up, then down when you turn off stereo or stop and turn the key off.  There are still folks fixing these as the power unit is in great shape.   

So very few Eldorados have an electronic digital dash unit along with the column shift. Most Eldos are analog display. This makes this car more rare and collectible.  Also very few of this particular color were sold. Don't know why as it is a stunning look on this body style? That also adds to the collectability of the car. The original owners manual including the original keys with one original key fob are included with the original stereo. Notice the keys have a secure chip in them. The old man who owned this before must have had long fingernails as the buttons are worn down. It still locks, and unlocks just fine. The trunk also has another pad inside to protect the original carpet. It will be included. I will also leave a USB stick with about 10 gigabytes of a variety of music of oldies, classic country, jazz, love songs, etc, etc. If you don't like, just delete or don't use. Will also leave the manual for the Kenwood stereo unit which explains the remote control, etc.

Just want to be upfront with you all. This car will not come with a smog certificate. I went to have it smogged, and it passed at 30mph, but not at 15mph according to the report. Guy said put some additive in tank and change something called an EGR module, so I had that changed and rechecked. Well, again no go. Then he said try catalytic converter, so I had that replaced. It passes on everything except nox?? Maybe in your state, smog requirements are different than California. I know the spark plugs have not been changed for 6 years and someone told me I should try that. Oh well. My wife thought this might be a sign, so she said get a new car, and that is what I did.

This car has recent new water pump and radiator, as they both started seeping, so I had those replaced. Battery is a year old. Maybe could use shocks in rear, as when you go over bumps, it makes a bit of noise. Never replaced those and probably has originals on it.

It's time for me to let it go. I grow weary of taking it to a garage and having them scratch it, or dent it more than it is.  

Understand, this is not a new car and is not perfect,  but is a rare preserved 20 year old classic that will never be produced again. I only hope someone with a garage, and a love of cars gets it.
