1990 Cadillac Allante 99k Miles on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
|
Very nice Allante with only 99k miles. I got the car about seven years ago from an Uncle who passed away. He was the second owner of the car, and all owners (including me) were over 60 years old. About two years ago someone broke out the passenger side window and tried to steal it. The car had a key in the ignition that was not mine, but apparently it didn't work because the car was right where I had left it. After the police left and I got in the car to leave it wouldn't shift out of second gear. It starts off smoothly and shifts from first to second smoothly, but won't shift from second to third, or third to fourth. I had never had any problem with the transmission prior to this incident. It runs great in second gear and doesn't make any unusual noises so I'm certain there is no damage to internal parts. I talked to a guy who specializes in Allantes (http://www.allantesource.com/index.html), and he seems to think that the computer was messed with, which can affect shifting. He also said that a worse case scenario (about $400-500) would be the replacement of a shift modulator. The part itself is inexpensive, but requires removal of transmission to replace. The engine runs perfectly, and exterior of the car is near perfect. Florida car with original pearl white paint that shines like new, with zero rust. The top doesn't leak, and I had just replaced radiator and catalytic converter. I start the car up about once a month, and occasionally drive it around the block. The drivers seat leather is in perfect condition, but the stitching has come undone on the bottom cushion. The passenger side seat is also in great condition, but you can see where the stitching is also getting ready to go. My Uncle also got factory "Vogue" wheels and tires from the local Cadillac dealer, and paid over $3,000 for them. This car could be one of the nicest Allante's around with around $1000-$1200 spent on it (considerably less if the computer just needs resetting). I'd keep this car and do the repairs if my finances allowed, Feel free to call me at 727-688-FISH (3474) Cell or 727-388-1322 home for more details |

Opel director Sedran to succeed Docherty as Chevy Europe boss
Wed, 26 Jun 2013When longtime General Motors executive Susan Docherty announced she would be stepping down from her post as the head of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe, there was some idle chatter that plans for the creation of a new global overseer position for the Bowtie brand was behind the move. And while US sales chief Alan Batey has indeed assumed control of Chevy worldwide since her departure announcement, Docherty's vacancy is being filled after all, with Opel chief strategist Thomas Sedran taking up the reins.
That's according to Automotive News, who reports that Sedran will be tasked with pulling Chevy out of a sales funk, much of it pegged on Europe's stagnant auto industry, which has sunk to a 20-year low. AN notes that Chevy's EU sales plunged 32 percent to 57,584 units through the first five months of 2013, but the everyday value brand is faring worlds better than Cadillac, which has sold just 167 units in Europe over the same time period.
Sedran, 48, has been in the auto industry for over 20 years. Most recently, at Opel he had been working on long-term plans for the marque, and was appointed to the brand's management board in April of last year. Prior to joining GM, Sedran was employed as a management consultant for AlixPartners, where he worked closely with Opel for six years. Sedran will assume his new duties beginning July 1.
Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal
Mon, 25 Nov 2013Cadillac wouldn't be Cadillac without its two-door models. But the XLR has been discontinued for over four years now, the Elmiraj concept may never see production and the future of the CTS Coupe is still up in the air. That leaves just the ELR, which may not be conventional enough for traditional Cadillac coupe buyers. Fortunately a new coupe is coming along to fill the void.
According to Edmunds, Cadillac will reveal the new ATS coupe just a couple of months from now at the Detroit Auto Show. Expected to mechanically mirror the existing ATS sedan, the new coupe will also more conventionally resemble its four-door counterpart than the CTS, whose coupe version was distinguished by a rakishly sloping roofline.
Expect the same choice of engines to carry over, with a 2.5-liter four serving as the base engine, and both a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6 offering more power for those looking for that extra bit of oomph. Following the Detroit reveal, sources anticipate the ATS coupe to go on sale next summer.
