1988 Cadillac Allante White Pearl Convertible Soft And Hard Top W/red Leather on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:111114
Location:

Edinburg, Texas, United States

Edinburg, Texas, United States

 This automobile is in very good shape for its age. The engine, transmission and brakes are all very strong.  The car was repainted in 2011.  A guy hit the left fender in the parking lot at my mechanic. The paint could not be matched so it had to be repainted.  It has centerline wheels which will buff to a mirror shine.  The car was purchased in San Luis Obispo, Ca and lived in CA until 2005. The leather is soft and shows very little wear. No scuffs or tears.  The soft top is serviceable and does not leak, but not very attractive. The air conditioning works but shuts off with the error message "needs refrigerant charge" after about 15 minutes of operation.  It is an unconverted R-12 system and cools very well when fully charged. The car has some eccentricities.  You cannot lock the car with the electric locks without triggering the alarm system. The passenger door window switch doesn't work, driver's side opens both windows does but switch is reversed. Trunk pulldown doesn't work. Tape deck doesn't work. There is a small chip on the front bumper and a scratch on the driver's side of the rear bumper.  Neither photographed well enough to show in pictures. The car has always been garaged and there is only a little surface rust on the undercarriage. Only 2569 of them were made.

I've bought several cars on ebay and was always disappointed in the car when it arrived.  I don't want the buyer of this car to be similarly disappointed, so I have tried to list all of this car's frailties as I know them.  It is not a show car, but one you can be proud to drive. 

This car is sold without warranty express or implied, strictly an "as is, where is" sale.  I will help the buyer with arranging shipping, or he can pick it up.  Sales on ebay form a contract, are final, and should be taken seriously.  Membership privileges are always at stake for the non-paying bidder. $500 non-refundable deposit is due 24 hours after closing of the auction with balance in 3 days. Payment accepted by wire transfer (EFT) or Paypal.

2015 Cadillac ATS sedan gets early reveal in making-of video

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Cadillac is apparently preparing to roll out a minor facelift for the ATS sedan - which we know not because General Motors has already revealed it or because we're looking at it in a fresh batch of spy shots (though we've seen that too), but because a behind-the-scenes video from the filming of its commercial has leaked out online. Which may be bad news for Cadillac, and even worse news for the film production company, but good news for us, because we get to see it ahead of schedule.
The revised sports sedan seems to be sporting a new front bumper and less egg-cratey grille with Caddy's new wreath-less badge at its center, all apparently put in place to bring the sedan more in line with the new ATS coupe.
We're sure Cadillac will be revealing the updated 2015 ATS sedan shortly, but you can scope it out right now in the video below. By way of comparison, we've included an image gallery of the current ATS, released back in 2013, as well.

2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Bridging 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.)

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe favors cleanliness over radical lines

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Though you might not know it from looking at vehicles like the XTS and Escalade, if you take a broader look at history, you'll see that Cadillac models have gotten a lot smaller from the tail-finned highway cruisers of old. At least when it comes to coupes, anyway. The Eldorado, in particular, kept getting smaller until it disappeared, its place taken in recent years by decidedly more compact XLR, CTS Coupe and ELR hybrid. What you see here, however, is Cadillac's smallest coupe yet.
Revealed today at the Detroit Auto Show is the new 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe, the brand's first compact two-door coupe, and the first production car to wear the brand's all-new crest. It shares the same platform and wheelbase as the existing ATS sedan, but packs a wider track and unique bodywork that's decidedly more conservative and less unique in its angular styling than the CTS Coupe that it's likely to ultimately displace in the Cadillac lineup. Styling aside, the all-American luxury marque has engineered the ATS Coupe with a focus on reducing weight to the benefit of both performance and fuel economy, giving it near 50/50 weight balance front to rear with underbody aerodynamic elements helping it cheat the wind.
Buyers will be able to choose between two engines: a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6.
