1998 Cadillac Deville D'elegance Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars

Stuttgart, Arkansas, United States

This 1998 Cadillac DeVille D'Elegance is from the estate of a lifelong friend who passed away in January 2014.  Purchased brand new in late 1997 from the local Cadillac dealer, this one-owner beauty has been meticulously maintained by the same owner and same dealer since new.  It is a non-smoker car that has been garage kept its entire life, and it shows.  When I pulled it out of the garage, I rinsed the light dust off of it and that's all I did.  She was so particular about her car that she has rubber mats over the carpeted mats.  The interior is immaculate.  Close inspection shows some very slight wear on the driver's seat bolsters (outside edge) from getting in and out, but you've got to look close.  There is no interior odor and, again, I didn't touch the interior prior to taking the photos.  

On the outside, it's unbelievable for a '98 model car.  There are a few slight pecks and dings, but hardly noticeable.  That's the beauty of a White car.  Curiously, the thin bright silver trim that circles the car within the side molding has some spots on some of the pieces, most noticeable on the left rear door, but I really don't think it's a distraction to the otherwise stunning appearance.  The Michelin tires look nearly brand new and the thin White stripe really sets off the dazzling chrome aluminum wheels.  Unlike the faux chrome wheels that automakers use today, these are genuine chromed aluminum wheels, exclusive to the d'Elegance model, and none have any curb damage.

Mechanically, it starts and runs perfectly.  The battery looks fairly new, but I can't be sure how old it is.  I only drove it a few miles, but checked everything out that I could.  The HVAC system operates great, all of the instrumentation is bright and functioning properly, the radio and CD player sound beautiful.  I didn't have a cassette to try, however, but would guess it works fine, too.  The d'Elegance model has rear seat sun visors and I did notice that the vanity mirror light didn't work on the left rear one.

There could be other things wrong with the car, as would be the case with any used vehicle, but you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer 1998 model car of any description, in my opinion.  Automakers don't make roomy, great riding, comfortable cars like these anymore.  For the money, this is a lot of car!

Of course, it is being sold As Is, Without Warranty.  Buyer assumes all risks.  It is impossible to know everything about a used car, or what might happen to it in the future, but from what I know about this one, who owned it, and how it was taken care of, I would not hesitate to load my family in it and go anywhere.

You are welcome to have it inspected by anyone you choose.  It has a clear, open title.  The title shows the previous title number to be the MSO.  The title was issued on 12/04/1997 and it had 89 miles on the odometer.  It has all of the original owner's manuals and glove box materials.  It has the two original ignition keys (one gold) with built in chip and several door keys (one gold).  It has one remote fob, and it works fine (the family could only find one fob).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I would like to be paid within 3 days of auction close.   Cash,  cashiers check or wire transfer preferred.  Buyer is responsible to pick up the car.  It is located in Stuttgart, Arkansas 72160.

Thanks so much for looking!

Cadillac ATS Coupe headed for Detroit reveal

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Cadillac 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.

Is Cadillac working on an ELR-V? [w/video]

Mon, 12 May 2014

Could it be? Could Cadillac be working on an even higher-end version of its ELR plug-in hybrid? Well, General Motors' Executive Vice President Mark Reuss has gone on record as... well, not saying much. The exec was more than a bit coy on video (which you can view below) when asked about the idea of an ELR-V, although he did say that Cadillac was looking at "expanding the tuning envelope" for its plug-in coupe. What that means could be hinted at in these spy photos.
Cadillac is certainly up to something with this little red ELR. As is often the case, it's the car's enhanced brakes that give it away. Bigger binders are a telltale sign of sportier aspirations, and it's safe to say that rule applies with the ELR. The larger rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers are sourced from the Buick Regal GS, which we imagine would be plenty to bring the high-priced hybrid to a halt.
Obscuring those rotors and calipers are larger, double-armed five-spoke wheels. And, according to our spies, hiding behind that camouflage is a new grille. Outside of those two items, though, there's not much aesthetic change.
