Problem with car after you read:
This is our Eldorado for the past eight years. Bought the car from family of an old gentlemen in Oregon. He passed away and the daughter already had a vehicle so she did not want to keep it. As you can see by the photos, it has always been garaged as the paint and chrome is quite nice after 20 years. It has always been serviced regularly and driven conservatively. When the rpm's are only 1650 at 60 mph, the engine is running quite slow compared to many vehicles. The motor has never used any oil, and when you start it, never any noise etc as it has not been abused.
Check out the pics. See the Zambrano wood trim in mint condition, and paint is quite nice as well. The spare nor the jack have ever been used to my knowledge, at least since we have owned it. I keep another set of floor mats over the original mats to protect them. If you notice, I changed out the stereo to a Kenwood Execlon unit so that I could copy my cd's to a USB stick and play my old music in the car. This unit is XM ready and has a jack for other kinds of devices. All it would need is a puck to receive signal. The stereo is connected to the original Bose amp with Bose speakers. This unit has a remote control, which you can see in the pictures. You can change sources for am, fm, usb, standby, etc. It's nice to use when driving. I told them when they installed it to use universal connections so the next owner could put back the original Bose/CD unit which will be left in the car for it's new owner. The original Delco Bose Gold Series unit works well also with its Am/FM cassette player and CD. You could put it back in if you wish. About 6 years ago I sent the power antennae out to be fixed. It has a plastic filament that goes up and down, well it broke again, so I unplugged the antennae. Whenever you turn on the stereo, it automatically goes up, then down when you turn off stereo or stop and turn the key off. There are still folks fixing these as the power unit is in great shape.
So very few Eldorados have an electronic digital dash unit along with the column shift. Most Eldos are analog display. This makes this car more rare and collectible. Also very few of this particular color were sold. Don't know why as it is a stunning look on this body style? That also adds to the collectability of the car. The original owners manual including the original keys with one original key fob are included with the original stereo. Notice the keys have a secure chip in them. The old man who owned this before must have had long fingernails as the buttons are worn down. It still locks, and unlocks just fine. The trunk also has another pad inside to protect the original carpet. It will be included. I will also leave a USB stick with about 10 gigabytes of a variety of music of oldies, classic country, jazz, love songs, etc, etc. If you don't like, just delete or don't use. Will also leave the manual for the Kenwood stereo unit which explains the remote control, etc.
Just want to be upfront with you all. This car will not come with a smog certificate. I went to have it smogged, and it passed at 30mph, but not at 15mph according to the report. Guy said put some additive in tank and change something called an EGR module, so I had that changed and rechecked. Well, again no go. Then he said try catalytic converter, so I had that replaced. It passes on everything except nox?? Maybe in your state, smog requirements are different than California. I know the spark plugs have not been changed for 6 years and someone told me I should try that. Oh well. My wife thought this might be a sign, so she said get a new car, and that is what I did.
This car has recent new water pump and radiator, as they both started seeping, so I had those replaced. Battery is a year old. Maybe could use shocks in rear, as when you go over bumps, it makes a bit of noise. Never replaced those and probably has originals on it.
It's time for me to let it go. I grow weary of taking it to a garage and having them scratch it, or dent it more than it is.
Understand, this is not a new car and is not perfect, but is a rare preserved 20 year old classic that will never be produced again. I only hope someone with a garage, and a love of cars gets it.
Send an email if you need more info or pictures or leave a phone, and I will return.

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe priced from $37,995*
Thu, 15 May 2014Cadillac has released pricing details on its new-for-2014 ATS Coupe. The new model, which will be available with buyer's choice of a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V6 (the ATS Sedan's base 2.5 won't be making the trip) can be had with optional all-wheel-drive in place of the standard rear-wheel setup, while customers can also snag a six-speed manual or six-speed auto.
Prices start at $37,995, which represents a $2,900 premium over the 2014 ATS Sedan (pricing on the 2015 four-door isn't available yet) with the same 2.0-liter engine. Still, the ATS Coupe starts at just over $2,500 less than a base BMW 428i, which is also less powerful and offers less standard equipment. The Caddy is also less costly than the Mercedes-Benz C250 Coupe, although only by about $200. It's even cheaper than the Audi A5, which starts at $38,105, but that model includes all-wheel drive as standard. It should be noted that these prices are without their respective destination charges (*$995 for the Caddy, $925 each for the BMW and the Mercedes and $895 for the Audi).
Unfortunately, Cadillac hasn't released any additional pricing information beyond what we have here, so we can't tell you how much things like all-wheel drive, an automatic transmission or the 321-horsepower V6 will cost. That makes it difficult to figure out just how reasonable the ATS Coupe will be relative to its challengers, but so far, the value equation looks to be in the car's favor. When those full details roll in, though, you know where to look. Scroll down for the official press release from Cadillac.
Cadillac SRX likely to see next-gen built in China
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Here's some shocking news to no one: People love crossovers, including those living in China. Since introducing the Cadillac SRX there in 2009, the model's sales have gone through the roof. Now, the brand is considering moving some production of the next-generation model in China to eliminate import tariffs and make it an even bigger player in the market.
According to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal, the crossover is leading Cadillac's Chinese growth, despite its US-equivalent price of over $67,000 after the country's high import tariffs. The CUV's sales are up 23 percent there so far this year, and it's responsible for over 40 percent of the brand's sales. John Stadwick, General Motors' VP of sales, service and marketing in China, told the WSJ that GM could "very possibly" build the next-gen model there.
The SRX is Cadillac's golden goose in China, and it just keeps pushing the brand's sales forward. "It's the vehicle that took us out of being a small niche in the market," said David Caldwell, Cadillac Communications Manager, to Autoblog. Before the CUV, Caddy was selling a little over 20,000 cars a year there, but partially thanks to the crossover's success, the brand sold 50,000 vehicles last year and could reach 60,000 this year. "The SRX is the most popular Cadillac in that market," he said.
