The Last Great Cadillac...

I bought this gorgeous '96 Fleetwood in 2005 and would keep it forever if my wife would let me. But the family comes first, so it's time to get rid of "the other woman".

This sweet lady has been my light daily driver to the office and back. Engine is solid, A/C blows ice cold, tires have meat... I would hop in this car and drive across country tomorrow without thinking twice. 

She's led a privileged life, built in Texas and shipped to Florida... never seen a salt road in her life. Two owners before me both kept her tucked in the garage and her read fairy tales before bed every night. 

I didn't have a garage when I bought her, but I've kept the car clean and protected best I could. Only blemishes are a crack in the dashboard (hidden under cloth cover and some fixable exterior trim issues)

Here's a list of everything that's with her...

- Runs excellent (glides down the highway and that 5.7 liter V8 jumps to life when you stab the gas pedal)

- Superior comfort (like driving to work in a leather recliner)

- Huge interior (Roomy enough for 5 long-legged adults to sit comfortably in style)

- Clean paint and leather (no chips and zero rust, the paint still shines like new. Vinyl roof cover sparkles white with a squirt of X-14, chrome sparkles) 

- Ice cold air (I replaced the compressor a couple of months ago and even the Florida summer is no match for the Arctic blast blasting through her vents)

- Good tires (they both have plenty of tread, but the thickness of the whitewalls are mismatched because I couldn't find Broadway whitewalls to replace the fronts)

- Tinted glass (about 60%)

- Superior sound system with CD and cassette, (so you can rock those mix tapes you knew you were hanging onto for some reason)

- Turn signal indicators on hood (that's just cool! and they still light up with every "tick, tick, tick.")

- Mechanically maintained with love (this is my daily driver for 8 years so she's had no mechanical downtime. If it breaks I bring it to my Cadi-loving mechanic and get it repaired right. They'll have a list of repairs done over the years.)

Over the years I've let some little stuff slip. Here's the list of what's "wrong" with her...

- Back windows slipped off the track so I don't use them. Which is fine (both fronts operate fine) but recently the back window on the driver's side slips down when you drive.

- Trim around vinyl popped off in the car wash, but I have the pieces in the trunk (just need the clips)

- Wreath around trunk emblem came off (I have that, too - just needs glue)

- Chrome trim is loose on one side (it won't fall off, but I wouldn't take it through a car wash before getting new clips)

- Antennae motor died (another reason to wash her by hand - the way she deserves)

- Fuse panel cover won't stay on (no idea why. Try velcro maybe?)

I think that's about it. Give her a good home and she'll treat you right.

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
