1988 Cadillac Allante White Pearl Convertible Soft And Hard Top W/red Leather on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:111114
Location:

Edinburg, Texas, United States

Edinburg, Texas, United States

 This automobile is in very good shape for its age. The engine, transmission and brakes are all very strong.  The car was repainted in 2011.  A guy hit the left fender in the parking lot at my mechanic. The paint could not be matched so it had to be repainted.  It has centerline wheels which will buff to a mirror shine.  The car was purchased in San Luis Obispo, Ca and lived in CA until 2005. The leather is soft and shows very little wear. No scuffs or tears.  The soft top is serviceable and does not leak, but not very attractive. The air conditioning works but shuts off with the error message "needs refrigerant charge" after about 15 minutes of operation.  It is an unconverted R-12 system and cools very well when fully charged. The car has some eccentricities.  You cannot lock the car with the electric locks without triggering the alarm system. The passenger door window switch doesn't work, driver's side opens both windows does but switch is reversed. Trunk pulldown doesn't work. Tape deck doesn't work. There is a small chip on the front bumper and a scratch on the driver's side of the rear bumper.  Neither photographed well enough to show in pictures. The car has always been garaged and there is only a little surface rust on the undercarriage. Only 2569 of them were made.

I've bought several cars on ebay and was always disappointed in the car when it arrived.  I don't want the buyer of this car to be similarly disappointed, so I have tried to list all of this car's frailties as I know them.  It is not a show car, but one you can be proud to drive. 

This car is sold without warranty express or implied, strictly an "as is, where is" sale.  I will help the buyer with arranging shipping, or he can pick it up.  Sales on ebay form a contract, are final, and should be taken seriously.  Membership privileges are always at stake for the non-paying bidder. $500 non-refundable deposit is due 24 hours after closing of the auction with balance in 3 days. Payment accepted by wire transfer (EFT) or Paypal.

Next-gen Cadillac Escalade debuting October 7 in NYC

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Cadillac will unveil the next Escalade in October, at an event in New York City. It will be the sole member of GM's large SUV family to not get a debut at the Texas State Fair, which we don't think is all that surprising, considering the kind of clientele attracted by the big Caddy.
The new truck, from the few teaser images and spy shots we've seen, has evolved with the rest of the Cadillac range. We've got a glimpse of its tall, thin headlights, which look like an evolution of what's on the current truck. Expect some kind of egg-crate grille, reminiscent of the new CTS and ATS, while Cadillac's CUE system should feature heavily in what we hope is a thoroughly revised cabin.
The event takes place on October 7, so check back then for more info on the all-new Escalade.

Cadillac flagship, possible production Elimiraj, caught testing

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

One of the biggest debuts at the Monterey car week, both literally and figuratively, was the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept. The massive coupe made quite a splash with the show's well-heeled guests. Now, we have what might be the very first images of the Elmiraj, or whatever it may be called when it reaches production, out testing.
Don't let that modified Chevrolet Caprice body fool you, this car is about four to six inches longer than Chevy's US-spec cop car, from the A-pillar forward. According to our spy, with the Caprice at 203 inches and the concept at 205, adding a few extra inches here and there fits the bill for the four-door Elmiraj that was hinted at in Jay Leno's Garage.
There are a number of other classic mule signs on this car, including a cover over the fuel door and heavily modified front and rear fascias, each of which serves to hide some significant change from the standard Caprice. Using a Caprice for development also, hopefully, hints at something that big Cadillacs like the XTS have lacked - rear-wheel drive.
