Here is the story on this Allante.  If you see my large positive feedback I know how to describe things.  This cadillac was purchased at bellevue cadillac in wa state where it has been its whole lift.  In 1990 it was sold for $41,000 to the second owner who always had it serviced at cadillac dealerships expect for oil changes.  All the receipts (seems to be everything ever done) were crammed in the glove box along with several of the original sales persons business cards.  It seems he past away and left the car to his wife in 1998.  Car had 79,000 at that point.  It had 79500 when I acquired it from the estate.  Amazingly the car started right up.  I have driven it about 2000 miles so far and have had the following done at the dealer or a well established shop.  Front brakes are resurfaced and new pads $150 .  New rear calipers and rotors and pads.  $475...Cleaned fuel injectors $150 new AC Delco pugs and wires $175 and a new fuel filter $185.  New power source $100 (these fail causing light to flicker in instrument panel)  New pioneer blue tooth radio with pioneer three way speakers (way way better than stock without the expensive head aches of all the mini amps)  $300. New Airtex fuel pump $200. New AC compressor and belt $200.  Just today had the new accumulator and new refrigerant put in.  Way cheaper than the old expensive kind.  $400.  New drivers side window motor $100 and car was professionally buffed, waxed and the door handles and mirrors were autobody shop painted.  So about $2200 put in.  And these prices are me buying the parts online and using Autozone 20% specials and my mechanic puts them in.  If you went to a typical shop it would cost much more,  I did in the beginning have the GMC dealership inspect the Cadillac and that cost me about $200.  I have all paper work and all parts are still under warranty. I have original manual and even the Motorola manual for the $1295 option cell phone in the glove box.  I see many Allantes on here in the same price range but none have as much current maintenance work as mine. 

It leaks nothing at all, Runs fine all day in Seattle's current 90 degree weather and never runs hot,  AC system is completely new, Has the cool old $1200 Vogue tires that aren't weathered and have plenty of good tread 80%, All power functions in the seats work, as do the headlight washers, cruise control and all lights in visors and thru out the car. No rust, no scratches or chips anywhere in any of the glass.  Power mirrors function, Convertible top is like brand new and hard top is perfect.  No stains in carpet or tears.  Headliners  in both tops are 100% perfect and rear defrosters work.  Car starts perfectly ever time and never smokes anything even after sitting for a week. 

Only issues are the automatic trunk closer motor doesn't power on, the twilight sensor doesn't work and the brake light on dash is stuck on for some reason.  There are dark spot in the information center screen but all Allantes seem to have this issue.  Those are only issues in the whole car..

Cadillac dealers get $5,000 incentive for ELR test drives

Tue, 13 May 2014

The 530 Cadillac dealers - out of 940 total dealers - that signed on to sell the brand's ELR for $75,000 or lease it for $699 per month have managed to move 247 of them in the last five months. That's a little less than two cars for each dealer more than two dealers for each car if you need help with the math. With inventories of the luxury plug-in hybrid building up - Automotive News reports a 725-day supply - General Motors has created the Demonstrator Allowance Program to billow the sails on that slow moving ship, giving dealers $5,000 to promote ELR test drives.
A dealer with one ELR in its test fleet that racks up 750 test driven miles between May 1 and June 2 earns the fifty Benjamins, a dealer with two ELRs in the test fleet will get one hundred Benjamins. That will be added to summer incentives for dealers that pay $2,000 for units sold in July and $1,000 for units sold in August, while on the customer side, Cadillac has put "customer discount certificates" worth $3,000 on the hood for buyers and lessees.
Cadillac suggests this is about raising awareness of the ELR, but the question is how much dealers will be able to do for a car that observers - and buyers, apparently - still consider highly overpriced.

2014 Cadillac XTS Vsport

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Not long after bombing around the Milford Road Course in the new CTS Vsport, Cadillac invited me to try out its other new-for-2014 Vsport model: the XTS. And despite using the same twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 from the CTS, the Vsport package takes on a whole new meaning here in Cadillac's softer flagship.
In the CTS, this trim perfectly bridges the gap between the standard models and the hardcore CTS-V, and is focused on being the best-driving version of the range without a standalone V badge. The XTS, however, has no proper V model, so the Vsport becomes the new range-topper for that line by default. But unlike the CTS Vsport, which uses rear-wheel-drive architecture and is focused on driving dynamics above all, the XTS is geared toward a much different customer.
The entire XTS experience is far more concerned with plush comfort than handling prowess, and while this Vsport model certainly ups the ante with more power and some mild suspension and steering tweaks, it's not exactly what we'd call a particularly engaging experience. But that doesn't mean it isn't good.

GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."
