97 with under 23,000 miles.  Classic late model Caddy with that wonderful floating ride.  This car is in awesome shape with no accidents or paint work, no mechanical problems and maintenance is up to date.  Every component you would use to judge milage looks like a 22k mile car.  Nothing to be concerned with.  Clean car fax report and I have been all over this car and found no sign of body paint or damage.  I'm the second actual owner.  Original owner had it in his family and transferred it a couple times and finally to his nephew who didn't drive it and then sold it to me.  The car was constantly garaged in New York.  No surprises.  I have purchased a couple cars on ebay for personal use and if you get this one, you will not be disappointed and will have made a great decision.

Paint is wonderful and shiny. 
Brand new high end, BF Goodrich tires. 
New brake disc all around, new brake pads. 
Just changed the motor oil again.
Flushed the power steering fluid.
Cooling system was drained and completely flushed through the heater core and engine block.
New heater core. I was concerned with the possibility of corrosion due to the systems age and problems with GM lifetime fluid. Core was in perfect shape with zero issues. I still have the old unit to show you.
High grade window tint including a brow for the front one. 
Burns no oil.

Interior is in excellent condition and the seats show little use.  Carpet like new with the original floor mats in place (as seen in the photos).  Never smoked in and still smells like leather.

Standard list of options plus self leveling rear air suspension.  A 275 hp Norstar V-8, in a front wheel drive with traction control configuration, is under the hood.  This is a very dependable and strong motor meant to be driven hard.  She is fast but can still run on regular gas, I use premium.  Milage is 17 in city and up to 32 on the highway.  Air and heat are top notch.  No chips in the windshield.  No door dings but a couple minor scuffs commensurate with age but hardly noticeable.  No trunk leaks or surface rust. All interior and exterior lights work.  Head lights are glass which is wonderful.  No plastic clouding here!  Never used spare tire.

Color is Silvermist metallic.  It appears a misty green in the sun but silver in low light, very unique color.  Interior is a shale or light green, again very nice looking.

The car has a really wonderful, mellow rumble from the dual exhaust and quad tips.  The rear end view is that of the long vertical, slashing tail lamps that say Cadillac.  The car is long and low, very, very comfortable on those long freeway trips.

No issue with the car and I wouldn't hesitate to sell to my next door neighbor or a family member.  I had intended to give this to my daughter for college but it's way too nice. Where can you get a rock solid car with these retro looks for such a great price?  Keep in mind the car has been garaged, rarely driven and not abused.


This has to go to make room for a trailer (in my garage).

Carpool Deville aims to be the world's fastest hot tub

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

The world needs crazy inventors with wild dreams. While we might not long for the things that they create, their contraptions certainly make the day a little more enjoyable. Take the Carpool Deville as an example. Nobody (well, almost nobody) is asking for a hot tub fashioned from a 1969 Cadillac that is still drivable. But now that you know that such a beast exists, don't try to tell us you aren't at least intrigued.
The team behind the six-year-long project has a pretty ingenious setup worked out. The Caddy's original 472-cubic-inch (7.7-liter) V8 both provides propulsion and heats the water. The interior is entirely replaced with a watertight, fiberglass tub that includes working jets, and the controls are all done by hand.
As if just building a mobile hot tub isn't enough, the team behind the Carpool Deville plans to take it racing too. Specifically, they intend to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats later this year to make a top speed run while immersed in water at over 100 degrees. They even have a roll cage all set to install to meet the safety requirements there.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.

Cadillac XTS to become Opel flagship sedan?

Tue, 24 Jul 2012

According to Auto-News.de, Opel is considering using Cadillac's all-new big sedan, the XTS, as the base for its new flagship car, which would likely carry the name Omega.
WorldCarFans.com speculates that Opel could use GM's 3.6-liter direct-injection V6 that generates 304 horsepower or, possibly, a 2.8-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine that creates 321 horsepower to power the vehicle. The European automaker could even use a 195-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine in this application - fine, since many of Europe's largest sedans are powered by smaller, more efficient engines.
Regardless of power, the Omega could arrive at dealerships by the end of 2013.
