1999 Cadillac Eldorado on 2040-cars
Caldwell, Ohio, United States
This is a 1999 Cadillac Eldorado. The body is in good condition. I will begin by explaining the good things about this car then I will tell the bad things. The original engine/drive train was removed a year ago, the engine began overheating. I was facing either getting rid of it for a couple hundred dollars or repairing it. I found a car locally that was in the midst of an estate settlement. It was another 99 Cadillac that was owned by an elderly man that never permitted anyone to drive it. The car was dismantled because of no clear title. The entire drive train was switched. Transmission, axles, engine, struts, etc. This engine had 96,000 miles on it. The oil was clean. A local mechanic did the switch. The body has about 225,000 miles on it and given the condition I decided to fix it.
With the cost of the drive train and to have it switched cost about $2600.
The rear shocks were replaced a couple years ago. All new brake lines, one brake caliper, master cylinder and water pump. Air conditioning work. This amounted to another $700.
The engine runs smooth with no knocks or other noises, does not burn oil. It has extremely fast acceleration. The North Star Engine is strong. It cruises along nicely. It starts easily. The heated leather seats during cold months are very nice.
The bad. This car is going on 15 years old. The chassis has 220,000 miles on it. You should not expect this car to be like a new $50,000 Cadillac. Although the body is in good condition there are some details that need attention. The front bumper does not fit perfectly and the little trim pieces on the bumpers are loose. A rear brake lens is cracked. There are dings and small scratches. The air conditioner was charged last June and within a few weeks it lost its charge. The sun roof does not work well. There are dash light notifications showing anti lock brakes and occasional other messages. Purchase this car with the idea that the anti lock brake system may or may not be working. Other dash light notices do not seem to affect the running or driving of this car.
The pictures give a good idea of the condition. BUT I have found that often the pictures do make a car look a little better than the condition you will find in person. So, I want to be clear about what you will find if you buy this car. I would answer any questions. I want to make every effort to describe this car accurately to complete a transaction where the buyer and I am satisfied while maintaining my 100% positive feedback. Area code 740 my exchange is 581 and last 4 digits is 0114. We have a clear Ohio Title, it is located at zip 43724, I may be able to assist with delivery or shipping.

Weekly Recap: GM scales back as Russian auto market teeters
Sat, Mar 21 2015General Motors' extensive plans to scale back its Russian operations are the latest sign the automotive market in the former superpower is collapsing – and there are few signs of recovery. GM said Wednesday it will stop selling mainstream Chevrolets and shutter the entire Opel brand in Russia. The moves leave GM with a luxury-focused presence consisting of Cadillac and Chevrolet's Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The cutbacks will be completed by the end of the year. The automaker will also idle its factory in St. Petersburg and end a contract-assembly agreement with Russian manufacturer GAZ. "We had to take decisive action in Russia to protect our business," Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said in a statement. "We confirm our outlook to return the European business to profitability in 2016 and stick to our long-term goals." GM is the latest automaker to scale back in Russia as the economic conditions, volatile currency and uncertainty over the conflict in the Ukraine all have sandbagged new car sales. Last month, vehicle sales collapsed 38 percent in Russia to 128,298 units, according to the Association of European Business, which records sales. Joerg Schreiber, chairman of the AEB automobile manufacturers committee, didn't even feign optimism in a statement announcing the figures. "The market is entering a very difficult phase now, and February is only the beginning," he said. "Industry sentiment is the next few months will be extremely difficult and the market bottom has yet to be found." The dovetails with industry experts, who predict the Russian auto sector will remain in the doldrums. IHS said earlier this year it expects Russia's sales to slip to just 1.8 million units in 2015, which is a 40-percent drop from 2012. Other News & Notes Chief leads Jeep's Easter Safari stable Jeep is bringing seven attention-getting concepts to Moab for its annual Easter Safari off-roading celebration in Utah, but the Chief is perhaps the standout of the group. It salutes the 1970s Cherokee with a throwback appearance and surfer styling cues. The Chief has a custom modified razor grille made famous by the Wagoneer, and it rolls on 17-inch slotted mag wheels. The surf theme comes in with ocean blue paint, floral cloth and leather seats and a tiki-style shifter handle. Based on the Jeep Wrangler, the Chief has removable sides, a 3.6-liter V6 engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.
OnStar RemoteLink mobile app coming standard on all new GM vehicles
Thu, 06 Jun 2013As an evolution and improvement of its OnStar technology, General Motors has announced that it will be expanding the RemoteLink Mobile App on most 2014 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. The new, aptly named RemoteLink Key Fob Services will allow users to remotely operate all of the same systems as the car's key fob, including locking and unlocking the doors and remote starting (on vehicles equipped with a factory remote starter) using a smartphone.
These Key Fob Services will be free for five years - starting from the vehicle's delivery date - but the full suite of RemoteLink features will continue to be offered only with a subscription (trial or paid). These premium features include contacting a live adviser, getting turn-by-turn directions and remotely monitoring the vehicle's diagnostic systems.

2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport [w/video]
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Bridging The Gap With Power And Poise
As you read these words, West Coast Editor Michael Harley is preparing to drive the brand-new 2014 Cadillac CTS along the gorgeous, sun-drenched roads of Southern California. And while I'll wait for Harley's full report before I put words in his mouth, I'm willing to bet he enjoys the hell out of Cadillac's new CTS. In fact, I'm sure of it.
I say this with confidence because, about a month ago, I spent the better part of a day flogging the new CTS Vsport around the 2.9-mile Milford Road Course - a challenging circuit laid out in the infield of an oval test track at GM's proving grounds in southeast Michigan. The MRC was built about a decade ago after Bob Lutz was lured out of retirement to work closely with GM's product development team, and thus, this circuit is known informally as the "Lutz Ring." The main objective of the MRC was to have an in-house facility for engineers to fine-tune vehicle dynamics, without having to constantly schlep cars over to Germany's infamous Nürburgring. (Of course, they still do.)
