1992 Cadillac Allante Base Convertible 2-door 4.5l on 2040-cars
Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
|
I recently purchased this Allante but am now moving to downtown Detroit, where I will not have the room to keep the extra car. My loss, your gain. Terrible time of year to sell a convertible - so act on this deal now! The Good: Pinninfarina style! American V8! The paint looks good for the most part, other than the few issues listed below. The color is vibrant and clear coat is solid and shiny. This is driver, it's got the miles to prove it. 151,xxx. I bought the car in Green Bay, WI and drove it back to Ann Arbor, MI with no problems at all. The interior is not perfect, but is nice for the age. The leather has it's worn spots, but is not torn anywhere. The carpet is clean and undamaged. The convertible top is clean, works perfectly, and has no tears. The A/C blows cold! I have never touched the freon, but the computer keeps saying it should be charged. It works great though! This car has a pretty sophisticated computer monitoring system. It can be accessed with a certain combination of keys. I'm no mechanic, but I am a curious sort so I flipped through all of the options. It seems to report that the engine is healthy. You might be a better judge than I, but it certainly starts and runs like it! She's a cheap stylish convertible for the summer! The Bad: Perfect Allantes go for $10,000. (Can you believe they were $60,000 twenty years ago?) Why is this one so cheap? I'll put the cards on the table and you can decide if the price is right. I'm going to pick apart this car, so you know what you're buying. Please notice none of what is listed below prevents you from putting the top down and cruising! Again, she got me back from WI and hundreds of miles since then. The WI title was a salvage. I challenge you find evidence of what happened. I could not see where it might have been hit. According to the carfax it happened years ago and the owner continued to drive it for years afterward. Strangely, MI did not issue a salvage title. The exhaust rattles a bit at idle. The transmission works fine, but is getting old and shifts slightly rough from time to time. The suspension too has seen some years. It's floatier than it should be. She'll need new tires next season. The cruise control does not work. The CD player does not work - on the bright side you get a free CD if you can get it out of the deck. The passenger window needs help to get up and down. The front of hood has some big chips in the paint. A cable from the latch inside the drivers door frame that actuates the convertible top's boot is broken. It is very easy to actuate manually, you just have to reach inside the car. The antenna is stuck up |

Cadillac teases production ELR ahead of Detroit Auto Show
Tue, 18 Dec 2012General Motors has just confirmed that the 2014 Cadillac ELR will make its official debut next month at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. We've already seen the ELR testing earlier this year using the same range-extended electric drive system as the Chevrolet Volt, and based on the shadowy image above, we're happy to see that the coupe's styling has stayed pretty true to 2009 Converj Concept.
The two-door ELR will be built alongside the Volt at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck plant starting later next year. Aside from this info, Cadillac has remained tight-lipped on the specific details of the car. But all that will all change on January 15.
Until then, all we have to offer you is the press release posted after the jump.
GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts
Fri, 03 Oct 2014Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.
GM intends to offer semi-autonomous vehicles by 2020
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Prepare for a few years of technological saber-rattling, as the world's automakers begin pushing to bring self-driving cars to market. Earlier this week, Nissan announced that it aims to offer autonomous vehicles by 2020, while Google, BMW and several other marks are working on similar efforts.
General Motors is doing things differently, though. Rather than push for a fully autonomous car, it's continuing to refine its semi-autonomous Super Cruise, a product that we tested in April 2012 and that will eventually see use on some Cadillacs before trickling down to the rest of the General Motors family. Super Cruise, which is undergoing testing in the Cadillac SRX, doesn't take complete control out of the driver's hands. Rather, under a very specific set of circumstances on the freeway, it will marry the capabilities of things like lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control to allow the driver to take their hands off the wheel. All of which sounds a lot like the system Mercedes-Benz is launching on the 2014 S-Class.
The system is still in development, according to John Capp, GM's director of electrical controls and active safety technology. Now that that the biggest hurdle, steering control, has been cleared, GM's engineers can focus on things like teaching the system to adapt to differing road conditions and visibility levels. As we reported in 2012, Super Cruise is still befuddled in low-visibility situations or when road markings aren't particularly clear.
