1988 Cadillac Allante, Dark Grey Metallic, Both Tops on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:103687
Location:

Dry Ridge, Kentucky, United States

Dry Ridge, Kentucky, United States

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 claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
