93 Cadillac Allante, Diamond In The Rough, No Reserve Listing on 2040-cars
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, United States
|
What a find! A Montana Blue 1993 Allante with the Northstar. Of all the roughly 21,000 Allantes ever built, there were only 151 made in this beautiful Montana Blue. Add the optional factory navy blue top and the $2,000 optional chrome wheels that were only offered on the 1993 and you have a collector's collector car. Only 111,000 miles and you can see this beauty was only driven around 5,000 per year!
Now here is a great story. I bought this car with the thought it was either going to be a great summer/golf/beach car or a daily work car…or both…or a project make money car. Well I have been told we are buying a house, and all "fun" cash is being called into the mother ship…so off to ebay we go. This car has sat and been neglected for a good deal of time. Let's talk about what is good. This month I drove this car from St. Louis to Cleveland, Cleveland to Columbus and back, and all around town for 2,100 miles this month. Let me tell you about the St. Louis trip. At 75 MPH on I-70 with the top up and the air conditioning blowing cold, this is one great ride. Throw in a torrential monsoon outside Indianapolis, and the nearly new tires held their own, the rear defrost works flawlessly, the top is whisper quiet and bone dry. In short, great freeway warrior. Step hard on the brakes and the anti-lock is perfect and there is no vibration or pulling whatsoever. What works? Where do I start. Cruise control, automatic temperature control, power windows and seats including lumbar support both sides, top pull down motors front and back, trunk pull down, stereo (don't know about CD) dash and interior lights, wipers and washers, including headlight washers. I changed the oil before and after the St. Louis trip and no signs of any problem. No discolor, no coolant, no odor. This car does not smoke, leak or overheat. It runs a little rough because it needs a tune up. What's wrong? After 2,000 miles the check engine light just came on, and the A/C now says it needs a charge. The car is getting 18 mpg so it probably needs a tune up. Still roars though. A normal person would replace the muffler, but it actually has a very nice ruble. I think the car was left out in the sun in Florida for its first 12 years because the clear coat is burned on the hood and trunk. No dents, dings or body work. The dash is also burned, but not warped. It will need to be dyed, or you can use the pretty blue cover that comes with the car. The dam on the front bumper apparently hit a curb and needs some tlc, but the body on the car, including the paint, is spectacular. Simply no rust or damage. The color is a show stopper. People are coming up to me in shopping center lots to ask about this car. Now for the interior. As you can see, the Florida sun was not very charitable to that beautiful leather. I honestly believe the original owner was a golfer or a sailor and just left the top down 24/7. It shows on the factory top, which I don't think was ever up, and which has a few stains but no tears, no wear, nearly flawless. If I was keeping the car, I would patch the leather for $300 but if you want a true classic you'll need to replace the leather. This car even has the add-on windscreen. You actually can drive with the top down at 70 and talk on the phone, it is that quiet. Bottom line is the car is a genuine fun daily summer driver as it sits, or it is a diamond in the rough. Put $3-5000 into this car and it will be a genuine $15,000 1993 Northstar Montana Blue Allante. Me? I gotta go buy a house. Send me some money and I will send you this Allante. Check out my ratings on ebay. No reserve. High bidder buys the car. This is not my first Allante sale. (I love these cars). And I have 100% happy buyers. Questions? Give me a call. 440 897 1286 |

Cadillac issues stop-sale on recalled CTS, SRX
Mon, 21 Jul 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on the Cadillac CTS and SRX, both of which were recalled late last month. Why the stop-sale after all this time? Well, um, GM apparently doesn't know how to fix them.
The stop-sale covers all used Cadillac CTS sedans, coupes and wagons from model years 2003 to 2013, as well as new 2014 coupes and wagons. The SRX crossover stop-sale, meanwhile, only covers used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2006.
Automotive News reached out to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, who told the news pub that the company's engineers were "looking at one common solution" for the affected vehicles, although "they don't have it yet."
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
GM recalling 117,000 sedans, crossovers, SUVs, pickups and vans
Thu, 02 Oct 2014General Motors has issued a stop-sale to dealers and has notified the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration of its intention to recall 117,000 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of those vehicles, only 4,500 are at dealerships.
The affected vehicles include the Cadillac CTS and Chevrolet Impala sedans, fullsize SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe and Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL), Lambda-platform crossovers (Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), heavy-duty pickups (Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD) and fullsize vans (Chevy Express and GMC Savana). The sedans and body-on-frame SUVs include model years 2013 and 2014, while the CUVs, heavy-duty pickups and vans are limited to MY2014.
GM confirmed the recall to Autoblog via an emailed statement (which we've included below). According to the statement, the issue at hand in what is the company's 69th recall of 2014 covers the chassis-control module. Automotive News is reporting that a problem in the chassis-control system could cause a short in the module, which could cause the engine to stall or fail to start. The fault could also affect the trailer-brake control, provided it's equipped.
