1989 Cadillac Allante Base Convertible 2-door 4.5l on 2040-cars
Daleville, Alabama, United States
Welcome and thanks for visiting my auction!
This is a no reserve auction This Allante has a clean and clear title. It does run and drive, good brakes, good set of matching tires and a near new convertible top. All the glass is good along with the dashboard and door panels, carpet is in great shape, all the lights works, gauges except the radio, power antenna and A/C, but needs charging. The body panels line up nice, but does have some surface rust on both rear quarters and a minor ding on the pass. side quarter. All the lenses are in good shape with no fading, paint looks great as well as the bumpers. has the chrome rims, but again has minor surface rust on the outside lip, no curb rash at all. I did replace the power antenna relay, this is a common problem for killing a good battery overnight. Since the radio doesn't play the antenna relay is always on. With the new battery installed there isn't any starting problems. It does come with a matching hard top. The brakes, steering and ride is very nice. Has NO LEAKS anywhere!! Engine sounds good, but does need a tune up and minor exhaust work. The exhaust is complete, but loose somewhere. Transmission shifts great and smooth. A lot of new parts have been installed on this car from the previous owner and myself. I don't have any receipts showing the previous work. I do have the owners manual and purchased a used information center for the car. Here are a few things the car still needs... Soft top pull down latch Radio, antenna repaired/ replaced Drivers seat side bolster repaired along with power seat trim Headliner has 2 small holes, which will need replacing sometime. Exhaust, tune up Overall this is a beautiful machine with a beautiful color scheme. Won't take much to make this "minor drivable project" a fine ride. basically everything is cosmetic, not mechanical. I have just over $2900.00 in this car, but I know I will never get that back. Thank you. |

Cadillac's de Nysschen won't budge on raised pricing
Thu, 18 Sep 2014According to new Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen, it will take between 10 and 15 years to elevate GM's top brand, which was once hailed as "The Standard Of The World," back to prominence in the minds of American customers. And to hear the executive talk of it, the brand is going to have to be willing to see sales falter in the near-term before they recover:
"Either you have to bring your volume aspirations into alignment with reality and accept that you will sell fewer cars... Or you have to drop the price and continue to transact at the prices where you were historically... I think the logical conclusion is that it's better to build off a very solid base in terms of [product] credibility, charge a fair price for the car and realize you have to wait until the volume comes."
In other words, sales will fall before they rise, and the brand has to be okay with that. Notice, too, that de Nysschen speaks of "a fair price" for Cadillac cars and utility vehicles. In this case, "fair" means more than many of the brand's traditional buyers are accustomed to, and roughly in line with the brands and machines Cadillac believes it is competing against. For instance, the newly enlarged 2014 CTS carries a suggested retail price that is over $6,000 higher than it was in 2013, and some trim levels boast an even higher price premium over the models they replace.
Autoweek divulges details on Presidential limo
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ever since the latest presidential limousine, also known as The Beast, debuted in 2009, we've wondered what's underneath that black Cadillac body. We already know a few details, like the fact it isn't a Cadillac at all, but a very heavy duty truck chassis from General Motors with a body that resembles a super-sized Caddy. Autoweek, however, has managed to extract new details from veteran Secret Service agents about the closely guarded presidential limo. Their methods, of course, are classified.
Designed to be a rolling office, bunker and escape pod all in one, the current presidential limo is far different from previous presidential state cars, which were heavily modified production vehicles. As we would expect, The Beast uses thick, military-grade body armor (eight inches on the doors), an armored fuel tank, special run-flat tires with Kevlar lining, an encrypted satellite phone, a fully sealed cabin with its own oxygen supply and a trunk full of weapons and medical equipment that includes a supply of the President's blood type (in case the car gets cut off from the ambulance that's always present in the President's motorcade).
The Beast also comes with a Halon fire-suppression system, night vision and is powered by a V8 engine, which we already knew runs on gas and not diesel, that returns an EPA-unfriendly estimated 3.7 miles per gallon. The Secret Service operates a fleet of 12 limos and each Beast costs $1.5 million. Lastly, AW estimates that the 18-foot-long state car weighs 15,000 pounds, and each Secret Service agent that drives the car must be specially trained to maneuver such a massive vehicle.
GM recalls Chevy Impala, Cadillac XTS for braking problem
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Back in April, General Motors launched an investigation into braking issues affecting the 2014 Chevy Impala. Now there's a recall of both the Impala and the Cadillac XTS with which it shares its Epsilon II platform.
The issue apparently revolves around the electronic parking brake, which may not properly disengage. As a result, the rear brake pads could rub the rotor even while the vehicle is in motion, causing "significant heat, smoke and sparks." The earlier investigation had been launched following a complaint regarding the forward collision avoidance system, which is now either appears to have been unrelated or possibly a symptom of this larger issue.
The recall affects 2013-15 XTS models manufactured between February 14, 2012, and August 22, 2014, as well as 2014-15 Impalas manufactured between January 15, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes to precisely 132,921 units, while The Detroit News reports a higher total of 205,000 units - the difference potentially coming down to the scope within the US and more broadly across North America. Dealers will contact owners to update the software in order to fix the problem.
