Up for auction is my 1968 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. This particular Sedan DeVille is not a hardtop, it is a post vehicle which means there is a post between the front and rear doors. The car has an original 84,663 miles and is in presentable, original condition. The car still retains approximately 80% of its original paint with some fading on the trunk and hood areas. I did have the vinyl top replaced in 2007 and the vinyl top is still in excellent condition. When the original vinyl top was removed there was no signs of rust and it was treated/prepped/sealed prior to the installation of the new top. There is a small door ding in the drivers door as well as a small ding between the right hand cornering light and headlight door (see pictures). There is also a dent in the rear bumper removable molding insert on the drivers side (see picture). About six months ago I noticed a few rust bubbles on the lower front fenders and I took the vehicle to a body shop to have them repaired and the paint blended into the original paint.

The interior is in excellent original condition for the age of the vehicle, but does have some flaws. The flaws include some armrest cracking on the driver and passenger side front door panels. One button on the front seat upholstery popped off and one floor mat is missing (passenger side front). The carpet, headliner, dash pad, and the rest of the interior looks good. The car is fairly well-equipped including air-conditioning (working - new compressor charged with R134a), power windows (all working), power seat, power door locks (which are lazy at times I think they are vacuum controlled), tilt-telescopic steering wheel, automatic headlight dimmers, AM/FM Stereo Radio with power antenna, cruise-control (works when it wants to from time to time), automatic trunk release with vacuum pull down trunk lock, rear window defrost, and a clock that does not work.

Mechanically the car is in excellent condition. I had the engine rebuilt which included new rings, new bearings, new cam, new lifters, new push rods, new valve seals, new timing chain set, new oil pump/screen, and new gaskets/seals. Also the car has had all of the following replaced: new carburetor, new starter, new distributor, new smog pump, new water pump, new gear box, new radiator hoses, new belts, new power steering pump, new power steering hoses, new thermostat, new fuel pump, and the radiator was cleaned and tested. All the brake components were replaced which included new brake shoes, new brake wheel cylinders, new brake hoses, new hardware kits, and new master cylinder.

The vehicle is currently being sold as-is and where-is with no warranty implied or expressed. Make sure to ask any and all questions prior to bidding on this vehicle. A deposit of $500.00 dollars will be required within 5 days from the close of auction. The buyer is responsible for shipping and transport. The high bidder can make additional arrangements with seller if both agree. Full payment is required within 10 days of auction's close. Cash or Cashiers Check/Money Order. Please note title and car will be held until method of payment clears the bank. As mentioned earlier please ask all your questions prior to bidding. Any questions will be answered honestly, because I do not want anyone to be dissatisfied. 

Lastly, this item is being re-listed due to a bidder who was not aware of how an auction site worked and placed a bid without knowing the responsibilities or consequences associated with not following through with being a high bidder.  Therefore, please bid responsibly and ask questions prior to bidding.  Make sure to read the rules and guidelines of eBay prior to making a commitment to purchase an item.  Thank you for understanding.

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Cadillac to launch Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology in two years [w/video]

Sun, 07 Sep 2014

We all know that self-driving cars are coming. It's not so much a question of If so much as When. And when it comes to General Motors products, we now have something of a date to work with, as Cadillac has announced plans to roll out what it is calling Super Cruise technology in an unnamed new model within the next two years. As you would expect, this new tech can speed the car up, slow it down and keep it in its intended lane, but GM isn't expected to release a fully self-driving car, saying that it will still require "an attentive driver."
We're not quite sure what new model Cadillac will use to launch this new technology, but our best guess would be its upcoming LTS sedan. Other possibilities may include a new crossover - we've heard rumors of CUVS coming from Caddy both above and below the current SRX - or entry-level sedan, but those seem less likely than a high-dollar flagship like the LTS.
The next techy bit of kit currently being shown off by Cadillac engineers includes vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, technology which would seemingly allow cars to travel in close proximity to one another, with less danger of collisions. According to our friends at Engadget, GM is working with the University of Michigan to outfit some 120 miles of roads in and around Detroit, MI, with the requisite sensors to make all this technology possible.

Cadillac rushing update for laggy CUE infotainment system

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

BMW's innovative iDrive was introduced in 2001, and a dozen years later, automakers are still learning hard lessons about what consumers want in their infotainment systems. In response to owner feedback - and a few media drubbings - about the delayed and occasionally fickle responses of its CUE (short for Cadillac User Experience) system, Cadillac has told Wired that it's going to issue an update this year.
Coming for the XTS and ATS, the new software will mean quicker haptic feedback to driver inputs on the touchscreen and the buttons, and snappier responses on screen. Down the road, Cadillac's VP of marketing says that a different mix of screen controls and hard buttons is "something you'll be seeing in the future" - the system is presently a mix of touchscreen-based controls and capacitive-touch switchgear - there are no knobs or physical pushbuttons to speak of, and the omission of both has proven to be a divisive issue among consumers and industry pundits.
Cadillac hasn't provided a date for when the CUE update will be issued, but it has indicated that the service will be performed by dealers, not sent wirelessly.
