'84 Fleetwood Brougham, 107k miles. Runs & drives well. Recently serviced. Straight body, good paint, excellent roof, gently used leather interior. Some minor/normal wear & tear, but looks good overall. Definitely an attention-getter.
If you haven't driven an old C- or D-body full-size Cadillac, you've been missing out on a unique driving experience to which today's cars simply cannot compare. The driver's seats feel like you're sitting on your favorite sofa, only with a steering wheel in front of you. The auto-leveling air suspension allows these classic slabs of Detroit steel to float quietly and comfortably down the highway. The spacious back seat holds three adult passengers in comfort. I acquired this car in Portland, Maine this past February while on a coast-to-coast road trip (thanks to some jerk who decided to smash into the car I had driven out there, leaving me without a vehicle 3000 miles from home). I drove the car from Maine to Flagstaff, AZ in February, and brought the car from Flagstaff to L.A. in April. It handled the long distances at high speeds with ease and I averaged about 20 mpg. The 4.1L V8 under the hood is certainly anemic by today's standards, but it does a decent enough job of getting all that metal moving and maintaining highway speeds. If I had enough room, I would happily hang onto it. The car has a 5-digit odometer that reads a little over 7,000 miles. Based on the condition of the interior and what historical registration records I could find, I believe the odometer has only rolled over once and it has approximately 107,000 miles. CLICK HERE FOR 60+ HIGHER-RESOLUTION PHOTOS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/teamperks/sets/72157644244636888/ I'll try to summarize the vehicle's condition below. Keep in mind that this is a 30-year old car, and some normal wear and tear should be expected of any car its age. INTERIOR: - Leather seats are in overall excellent shape for their age. The leather itself is soft and does not show any signs of brittleness, cracking, fading, or sun damage. The front and rear seats all look barely used, with the exception of a couple scratches on the driver's seat (see photos). - All carpeted areas are in good condition, and the headliner has no tears or stains. - All buttons and dials work fine, including power locks, window switches, power seat levers, etc. The glove box knob has come off; I still have the knob and the glove box can still be opened with or without the knob. - The dash is free of cracks, splits, and warping. - There is some minor peeling of the wood grain on the driver's door and a couple other minor interior trim blemishes (see photos). Overall, the interior is in very good shape for its age. - The trunk is in good condition. EXTERIOR: - Again, this is a New England car and, while it looks to have been taken care of overall, it has spent time on the roads in winter. As a result, there is some minor surface rust on non-visible areas of the body (such as the bottom interior of the doors) and beneath the frame. I haven't observed any areas of serious/significant rust anywhere, but keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. - With that being said, the car looks overall pretty good for its age. There is no major fading on the paint (though there is a small patch of paint peeling on the filler panel on the front passenger side). - Body is straight with no major dings, dents, or ripples. (There is a small ding on the hood and various minor scratches typical of any car.) - All chrome is in excellent shape and does not show any rust. - All body filler panels are intact and show no signs of brittleness or cracking. - Vinyl padding on the roof is in excellent condition, with no cracks or splits. - All light and reflector lenses are intact and free of cracks and discoloration. - I replaced the tires in February 2014, approximately 2000 miles ago. - I have removed the Cadillac emblem from one of the wire wheel covers. It was just loose enough that I did not want to risk it falling off. MECHANICALS: - Overall, the car starts, runs, drives, and shifts as it should. The ride-leveling air suspension is operable and has been free of problems. - The electric radio antenna is functional but doesn't always fully extend. - Windshield washer fluid pump seems to engage as it should, but no fluid actually discharges onto the windshield. I have not investigated this, but this is pretty common in older cars and is usually an easy fix. - The A/C isn't blowing cold and will at minimum need a recharge. The vehicle has received the following services in the past 3 months: - New distributor cap/rotor, new ECM, new fuel pump, & new fuel injector. (Performed by Terry Marxen Cadillac in Flagstaf, AZ.) - New EGR solenoid, new O2 sensor, new catalytic converter, and general tune-up. (Performed by E&E Automotive Service, a Cadillac specialist in Santa Monica, CA who has worked on all of my old Cadillacs.) - New rear brakes. This vehicle is located in Beverly Hills, CA 90212. I'm happy to accommodate in-person inspections/test drives prior to the auction end. If you plan on shipping the car, I'll gladly meet the shipper and help coordinate vehicle pickup, but the buyer will be responsible for arranging shipment. Registered through April 2015, just smogged, and I have clear California title in hand. I need the space more than I need this car. Come drive this classic Caddy home! Any questions, let me know (email is preferred over phone calls). Thanks! |

2016 Cadillac ATS-V brandishes 450 horses and 6-speed manual
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Details about the hotly anticipated 2016 Cadillac ATS-V are tumbling out, and they look to be everything we could ask for in a high-performance Caddy coupe.
According to Road & Track, the ATS-V will use a version of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS Vsport, but the wick will be turned up to 450 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. In glorious news for driving enthusiasts everywhere, that potent mill will be available with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic.
According to R&T, the engine has a heap of high-performance tech to let it make the extra ponies, including titanium connecting rods, two water-to-air intercoolers, titanium turbines for the turbos and an additional radiator dedicated to cooling the gearbox and electronically locking differential. Keeping it all planted are a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a suspension with 50 percent more roll stiffness.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Facelifted Cadillac ATS spied completely uncovered
Thu, 27 Feb 2014The Cadillac ATS makes for a pretty svelte little coupe, and General Motors appears to know it, because multiple, completely undisguised prototype sedans have been spotted testing wearing what look like many of the forthcoming coupe's body parts.
Not only does it wear at least the outline of the brand's new, broader crest, it has the same front air dam with continuous chrome strip found on the coupe. The only real difference is that it has the somewhat taller side view mirrors from the sedan, rather than the narrower, longer ones from the coupe. Around back, the changes are harder to spot because the test car is outfitted with an unpainted lower bumper. However, it seems to lack the chrome strip that offsets the lower portion of the coupe from the sedan.
The ATS sedan is already a looker, but it is good to see Cadillac is taking a second pass using what it learned on the coupe. There's no word yet on when this revised sedan is going to hit the streets - let alone what changes will take place beneath the skin - but we're thinking it looks about right for 2015.
