This car has been stored for the last 14 years and is in above average condition. Has 103,680 miles, 4.1L V-8, removable aluminium hard top and stowed soft top. This car was last driven in 1999, and was stored in a garage for 10 years, then pulled out and maintenance started to get it up and running. The project was put on the back burner again and now must be sold. Items I know to be an issue are info center says anti-lock brakes are off, the right front brake is dragging (probably related to the anti-lock and most likely has a corroded slider pin or piston). The info center also says that the center brake light is out, but it works fine. The battery will go dead in about 10 days if left connected, it draws 500 miliamps while sitting. This has always been an issue because a battery disconnect was installed by the last driver. It has a JVC CD disc changer installed. Power windows and antenna work fine, Eagle VR60 tires have good tread but are over 15 years old. The front lower air dam is cracked in the center, has small tear in the bumper cover just above the tail pipe. The soft top has on small rub trough hole from the bows, and a 1/4"X 3" hole from what looks like a mouse. Runs and drives good but has old gas in it and skips every once in a while at idle, trans shifts good. Leather seats and trim have normal wear, no holes. This car belonged to my step father and went to my brother/sister when he passed away, so we have limited info on exact history but ask questions and I will try to answer. Zero rust and kept in the garage all winter. 

I have sold my house and have to be moved out in two weeks so the car has to be paid for and removed by June 22nd. Paypal or certified funds only. I have sold two other cars on ebay and have good feedback on them and 100% overall. No reserve, so bid away.

GM considering new powertrain options for large SUVs

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Aside from the new General Motors offerings, there's not a whole lot of action going on in the fullsize SUV segment. That doesn't seem to be stopping GM from pushing the envelope in the market as Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is looking to introduce some new powertrain options into the Chevy Tahoe (and Suburban), GMC Yukon (and Yukon XL) and the Cadillac Escalade - all have been redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Now, we already know that GM and Ford are collaborating on nine- and ten-speed transmissions for a broad range of applications (including the big SUVs), but this new report says that GM is also considering other options as a way to one-up the competition and, of course, to optimize fuel economy. AN quotes Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for GM trucks, as saying that "interesting powertrain technologies" are coming including a return of a hybrid SUV and possibly even a diesel engine. Although it sounds like the latter could come down to how customers respond to the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.

Cadillac Super Cruise wins the 2019 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award

Fri, Jan 11 2019

Autoblog's 2019 Technology of the Year winner is Cadillac's Super Cruise. The SAE Level 2 semi-autonomous system allows for hands-free highway driving, reducing driver fatigue and improving safety. Additionally, Super Cruise packs in safeguards that force a driver to stay alert, bringing in a level of accountability not found in other Level 2 systems. Cadillac beat out Infiniti's VC Turbo technology and the EQ Boost 48-volt system from Mercedes-Benz, the other two finalists. General Motors mapped more than 130,000 miles of highways across the country, so Super Cruise always knows where you are. A camera on the steering column keeps an eye on the driver to make sure they're watching the road. Stray your gaze too long and the system forces you to take back over. Super Cruise has its limitations — it won't change lanes for you — but it is the most well-rounded and refined semi-autonomous system we've ever tested. There's no ping-pong effect as the car finds the center of the lane, and it always seems to leave a comfortable gap between you and the car ahead. Super Cruise launched in the CT6, which is ending production this year. But the sophisticated technology will migrate to other Cadillacs in 2020. The system is as easy to use as any other adaptive cruise control. Indicators in the instrument cluster and a light on the steering wheel indicate when and if the system is able to work. If you're off the defined grid, you can still use the car's regular adaptive cruise control — you just have to keep your hands on the wheel. Autoblog editors were also impressed with Cadillac's responsible approach to marketing the tech. The company doesn't even promote it as a Level 2 system, as it doesn't want to over-promise and under-deliver. Quite the opposite actually. Super Cruise simply works, and it works well. That's why it's our 2019 Technology of the Year. We'll present the award next week at the Detroit Auto Show. Come back for video of the event. Related Video:

Consumer Reports loves the 2014 Cadillac CTS

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Our first drive of the 2014 Cadillac CTS was just published today... we really liked the Vsport version. And Consumer Reports has some even stronger words of praise for the all-new luxury sedan. We already knew that Cadillac had stepped up its game with the third-gen CTS, but CR bluntly states that the sedan drives better than its German luxury counterparts.
While CR shows plenty of love for the new CTS, the outlet still takes issue with some of the in-car technology including the CUE infotainment system - no surprise there. The testers' offer all manner of positive comments where the impressive handling capabilities of the sedan are concerned, with lots of drifting around CR's private test facility in evidence to bear them out. Scroll down to watch the CTS get put through its paces.
