1980 Diesel Cadillac Seville In Excellent Condition For Sale! on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
Even though this car is nearly as old as I am it’s been my
most loved car of all the cars I’ve owned!
With that said it’s killing me that I have to part with it but I’m in
the process of relocating overseas and there isn’t an easy way to take it with
me. So, up for sale it goes, along with
pretty much everything else I own (keep watching for more items to be listed in
addition to what’s already listed, including a 1985 Audi 5000 wagon). This is everything I can think to tell you about it: GENERAL 1.
It was purchased in early 2010 from a dealer in
Pennsylvania and it was shipped to Phoenix CONDITION 2.
Numerous repairs have been made to it since I’ve
owned it and I prepared a spreadsheet outlining not only the repairs that have
made but also the condition of everything I can think of including all the
options and their respective functionality.
It also outlines everything included in the sale including
documentation, parts and accessories. If
you would like a copy of the spreadsheet, send me a note through eBay and it
will be sent to you 3.
Overall it is in very good condition 4.
It has the diesel engine which is largely what
motivated me to buy it (always loved diesels) 5.
It is my daily driver so as of the time of the
listing it has 100,701 miles (there will be more miles on it before the auction
ends but I travel 100% for business so it’s usually parked in covered parking
at the airport for days at a time so it doesn’t get driven a whole lot) 6.
It was repainted at some point and is currently
white but I believe the original color was dark blue as there is an area of the
door jam of the rear driver’s side where the original color appears to be
revealed (not 100% sure on the original color though) 7.
It has no visible rust except in one place where
the fender/hood/windshield come together (pointed out in the photos) 8.
It is a monster on the highway…keeping it at or
below the speed limit can be a challenge because it’s so quiet and it just
keeps pulling 9.
I’m not a lead-footed driver and have enjoyed
pretty good gas mileage which I estimate to be 25 in the city and 30 on the
highway 10. It
has passed every annual smog test with the exception of the first one which was
caused by the timing being off and has since been fixed 11. In
a strange twist of fate, it was rear-ended on Friday, May 16, 2014 while I was
running errands (it’s still my daily driver and the estimate from the insurance
company outlining parts and labor to repair it is included in the photos). The photos show the condition and I am happy
to include the information for the place I’ve gotten any parts my mechanic has
not been able to get on his own (the parts prices in the estimate are all from
this place) 12. It
also has the moon roof that is fully functional and is another reason that
motivated me to buy this particular car 13. If
you’d like to speak with my mechanic I’ll be happy to provide his name/phone
number (just send me a note through eBay) 14. There
are no leaks, noises, or other mechanical issues me or my mechanic is aware of
as of the time of this listing (my mechanic has mentioned a few times how good
the mechanical condition of the car is) and it always starts with barely a full
turn of the key once the Wait light goes off 15. I’ve
driven it on a few long trips (200 miles each way) through the Arizona
mountains and never had any issues 16. Things
I know need to be repaired: INCLUDED IN THE SALE 17. Included
in the sale is the original owner’s manual (see photos) 18. ALSO

included are most of the original receipts for all the work that has been done to
the car since I’ve owned it CONDITION/FEATURE/REPAIR
SPREADSHEET LOGISTICS/SHIPPING/TEST
DRIVE/INSPECTION 46. Since
I’m in the process of relocating overseas, I don’t care what it sells for as
long as it goes to a good home 47. I’m
happy to work directly with a shipper should you choose to use one (I’ll
provide all my contact information following the conclusion of the auction) and
all costs/responsibility/damage related to shipping are the responsibility of
the buyer. And for what it’s worth, this
is the second car I’ve had shipped and I found the process to be relatively
simple as there are numerous shipping services and from Pennsylvania to Phoenix
was $750.00 for this car 48. The
car must be picked up by the buyer/shipper/designated agent within seven business days following the conclusion of the auction unless my travel schedule
requires it to be longer, in which case I will let the buyer know as soon as I
know, because I do not want to be responsible for anything that could happen to
it while it’s still in my possession 49. I
travel 100% for business so I apologize in advance as my responses to inquiries
may be slow 50. Also
because I travel 100% for business it may take a bit of effort to arrange
pick-up/shipping logistics and I apologize for that in advance as well. However, my intention is to make the process
as simple as possible 51. If
you live close enough and would like to stop by and see it and/or take it for a
test drive, you are more than welcome keeping in mind the following: 52. My
license plate(s) will be removed prior to releasing it to the buyer/shipper 53. The
car is for sale locally so the eBay listing may be ended at any time PAYMENT 54. Payment
is via cashier's check or cash in-person. I'm also willing to allow a wire transfer into my bank account. If this option is desired the information needed will be provided following the conclusion of the auction, in which case let me know. 55. Payment
in full must be received within seven business days (same timeframe for pick-up) following the conclusion of
the auction and the $500.00 deposit be cleared/approved through PayPal and/or my bank prior to release to the
buyer/shipper/designated agent 56. Should
a fail-to-pay situation arise, in order to have my eBay/PayPal commission fees
refunded, an unpaid case must be opened which will result in an automatic
negative mark on the buyers account from eBay ADDITIONAL PHOTOS 57. Here
is a link to additional photos and documents: http://s1312.photobucket.com/user/seville3/media/Cadillac%20Seville/IMG_2258_zpse9d44881.jpg.html 58. I’m
not sure what people may want photos of so if there is something you’d like a
photo of and isn’t included in the current photos, let me know. I’ll take the photos if it’s something I’m
able to capture in a photo and upload it to the photos link above (the night
time photos are to show the functioning of the lights, both interior and
exterior) DISCLAIMER 59. It
is being sold as-is and where-is 60. Also,
keep in mind that any car can have something stop working, especially vintage
cars and I’m guessing if you’re looking at this type of car you are more than
likely already aware of that QUESTIONS 61. If
there are any questions not already answered, by all means let me know.
Happy bidding! |

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises
Wed, Oct 13 2021Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000. The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
Carpool Deville aims to be the world's fastest hot tub
Wed, 16 Jul 2014The world needs crazy inventors with wild dreams. While we might not long for the things that they create, their contraptions certainly make the day a little more enjoyable. Take the Carpool Deville as an example. Nobody (well, almost nobody) is asking for a hot tub fashioned from a 1969 Cadillac that is still drivable. But now that you know that such a beast exists, don't try to tell us you aren't at least intrigued.
The team behind the six-year-long project has a pretty ingenious setup worked out. The Caddy's original 472-cubic-inch (7.7-liter) V8 both provides propulsion and heats the water. The interior is entirely replaced with a watertight, fiberglass tub that includes working jets, and the controls are all done by hand.
As if just building a mobile hot tub isn't enough, the team behind the Carpool Deville plans to take it racing too. Specifically, they intend to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats later this year to make a top speed run while immersed in water at over 100 degrees. They even have a roll cage all set to install to meet the safety requirements there.
2015 Cadillac Escalade blings its way into LA
Thu, 21 Nov 2013The new Cadillac Escalade sauntered out onto the Los Angeles Auto Show stage, showing off its new familial face and redesigned interior. That exterior, with its slim, wrap-over headlights and tall, vertical taillights (both made up of LEDs) is a subtle but significant departure from the past styling of General Motors' flagship SUV.
And while there's no shortage of stuff to discuss about the Caddy's exterior, its cabin is where the big changes happen. Aside from the column-mounted shifter, the cabin receives a heavy going-over, receiving Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system and a significant upgrade to the materials. Comparing it to furniture, Eric Clough, Cadillac's director of design for interiors, said, "An exceptional level of craftsmanship has gone into the redesign of the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, and it all centers on the premium materials and extensive use of cut-and-sew live stitching."
Under hood sits a 420-horsepower, 460-pound-foot, 6.2-liter V8. Fitted with direct injection and active fuel management, fuel economy for the big Escalade should get a much-needed boost beyond the current model's 14-city and 18-highway miles per gallon, although official numbers haven't been published quite yet. A six-speed automatic is the sole gearbox choice. Cadillac has also fitted the new Escalade with GM's magnetic ride control system, which should deliver a more refined ride than its predecessor.
