Ok, here's the deal. Decided to buy a different car and sell this one. It obviously took offense to my disloyalty, and decided it needed new brake lines. So we fixed them a few weeks ago. Oil and filter was changed around the same time. We had our mechanic check the exhaust system, because it has been sounding a little beefy, like a race car. It needs new mufflers.  Since I'm not keeping it, I figure someone else can deal with it. 


Then, a couple weeks ago, we were driving with the air on high, it was hot, and we just got done pulling a hill. The Low Oil Pressure light came on, dinging and indicating to shut off the engine. We shut it off and sat for a few minutes. Since it wasn't overheating, we decided to try to drive home. We made it with no problem (14 mi.). The engine seemed hot, but temp wasn't overheating. I looked up on line what it might be. It said if the engine isn't ticking or making any noises (which it isn't), it is probably the oil pressure sensor, and to start there. If it isn't that, it could be pricey. I'm not going to the bother of taking it anywhere to find out.   This car would be great for someone who is a mechanic, knows a mechanic, or has access to a reasonable mechanic.   Or you'd probably be able to make quite a bit parting the car out.  

I'm being as transparent as possible as to the condition of this vehicle.  I haven't moved it out of the yard since we brought it home, so don't know if the low pressure light will come back on.   It doesn't come on when running the engine while sitting in the yard.  It has just shy of 170,000 mi., so anything's possible. The check engine light has been on since I bought it 4 or 5 years ago.  We just get it reset when it's inspected.  It's still has current inspection. The body and interior are in decent condition. Has a few flaws, but not bad for a car this age. Body has a couple minor spots with surface rust that will need addressed before they get out of hand.   Car is worth $1000 at the least.  You buy as is.

If you're interested and want more photos, let me know, and I'll get some out to you.  Please ask all questions before bidding.  I would suggest towing the car to be on the safe side.

SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Cadillac has got big plans in place to revitalize its lineup, with new sedans, coupes and crossovers. And it all starts with this, the replacement for the SRX.
Expected to be called XT5 in line with the brand's new naming scheme, the crossover will be based on a scalable new platform called C1XX - or Chi, for short. In its shorter form, Chi is anticipated to underpin the XT5 as well as a new Chevy crossover and the next-gen GMC Acadia. In long-wheelbase form, the platform is slated to give us a larger Cadillac crossover as well as a new Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.
Power in the XT5 will be provided by a choice of turbo four or atmospheric six, potentially to be transmitted through GM's new nine-speed automatic.

Cadillac CT6 refresh has hints of Escala

Fri, Jun 16 2017

Almost a year after Cadillac showed its stunning Escala concept at Pebble Beach, we're finally seeing some of that car's influence on production cars. These spy shots reveal that the CT6 will undergo a mild refresh, and despite the camouflage, we can make out details that show it will have looks more in line with the concept. One of the defining characteristics of the Escala were narrow, horizontal headlights, while the current CT6 has long, vertical lamps that go up the tops of the fenders. This prototype seems to split the difference. The bases of the lights terminate higher up on the fascia, emulating the Escala, but still travel up the fenders. It also appears that the LED accent lights remain, but it's possible they've been separated from the main lamps to become more like the concept. The grille has also been revised. It's hard to make out the exact shape, but the insert is the same type of mesh as the Escala's, with little highlights that look like miniature Cadillac crests. The full-size, full-color crest also appears to sit higher in the grille, which is another nod toward the concept. The lower grille in the front bumper also looks larger and more angular. That doesn't really lean toward either model, but should give the car an edgier look. The rest of the car looks generally the same as the current model. Even the tail shows little indication of changes. It's possible that the rear taillights could have an Escala-like horizontal section at the top of the trunk lid, but there's nothing visible on this prototype that would confirm that change either way. Since this is a relatively mild refresh, we would expect to see it fully revealed early next year. Related Video:
