58650 Miles, Excellent Condition, New Tires, Runs Great on 2040-cars
Mountain City, Tennessee, United States

Up for auction is a very nice 1997 Cadillac DeVille sedan in Gold over tan. The car only has 58,650 miles. It has been owned by my wife's family since September, 1997 and had only 14,346 miles when they purchased it. My father in law passed away only a few months after purchasing it and my mother in law rarely drove it. It has always been kept under a carport and out of the weather and the condition shows that. The paint still has the luster that it had when new and the leather interior is soft and supple and shows very little wear. The carpet is clean and the headliner and door panels all appear as in new condition. In addition to almost looking new on the outside the inside still smells new. I have pictured the bottom of the doors and they are as clean as when the car left the assembly line and obviously have no rust. The car has a few small dings that are difficult to photograph.
I have driven it a little over 400 miles since the first of the year and can report that the Northstar V-8 performs impeccably with smooth and strong power delivery while the 4-speed automatic shifts smooth and effortlessly. The car runs and handles very well. It sports a set of new Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring tires that, while quiet and smooth, provide excellent grip without sacrificing the smooth and effortless cruising these cars are known for. While installing the new tires the condition of the brake pads and rotors were examined and found to be in good condition. T The climate control works as it should whether it is 65 or 20 degrees all the while in auto mode. Just set the desired temp and the climate control does the rest. The cruise control works, all windows function as they should, the door locks work, power seat controls work and the soft close trunk function still performs as it should. Even the light under the hood still works as it should! What does not function properly? The power antenna does not retract although the motor operates so more than likely the gears are stripped. And the windshield washer pump does not function. The simple reason for selling is that we are at a point where we do not need a car like this. If you are looking for a Cadillac of this vintage you will be hard pressed to find another this clean. All the books are present and I have 4 sets of keys for the car. Please look closely at all the photos and email with any questions and do not assume anything. I will be happy to answer any questions and provide any additional photos upon request. I can assist with shipping. Good luck as someone will get a great automobile. The car is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel the listing at any time. |

Cadillac CT6 ushers in new naming convention
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Johan de Nysschen has been at his new post as president of Cadillac for not even three months , but he's already seen two of his most notable accomplishments from his two-year tenure as president of Infiniti matched by Cadillac. The brand has announced that it is relocating its headquarters, and is now officially changing its nomenclature.
The brand's new flagship model will abandon the familiar three-letter designation enjoyed by every other model in the range (aside from the Escalade), and adopt an alpha-numeric title. So, rather than the expected title of LTS, Cadillac's top-end car will be called the CT6.
Of course, this won't be limited to just one model. According to Cadillac's press release, "familiar lettering like 'CT' would be used for car models, with the number indicating the relative size and position of the cars in the hierarchy of Cadillac models." And yes, that means what you think it means - Cadillac will use the exact same naming formula, albeit with different letters, as Infiniti.
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS [w/videos]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013The 2014 CTS will break cover next week at the New York Auto Show, but Cadillac has released a few details of what we can expect to find under the car's hood. As we saw in some spy shots back in January, the biggest news for the midsize Caddy will be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a whopping 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
This LF3 engine will be paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which will help balance performance and fuel economy. We still don't know how much the 2014 CTS has grown in terms of size and weight, but General Motors says that new sedan will return 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg highway with the new engine to go with a 0-60 mile per hour time of 4.6 seconds - that means the new CTS will have the fuel economy close to the current base model sedan and acceleration not too far from the current CTS-V. General Motors also confirmed that this twin-turbo V6 will be available in the 2014 XTS this fall.
The next-generation CTS will carry over the 3.6-liter V6 from the current car (likely as a base engine) and also add the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the ATS. Check out all the details on this new engine and watch a few videos (including GM's nifty tilt rig) by scrolling below.
