The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Needs a new brake master cylinder (Brakes Plus in Denver quoted $480 incl. labor which they say should also clear up ABS/traction control problems). Sound deadening material under hood got partially shredded when the serpentine belt broke. Clear coat on the hood is patchy and there are a few small areas where the neighbors opened their car doors into the Allante. Only one very small patch of rust on the entire car, on the right rear wheel arch. The seats could be restitched. The driver's seat reclining lever was missing when I bought the car in 2006. I have the chrome strip for the front bumper that is shown missing in the photos. BOSE audio system needs to be rewired."

The Allante fires up first time and runs well but needs some attention to bring her back to the condition she deserves. She was my wife's daily driver until we bought a newer vehicle.

Needs a new brake master cylinder (Brakes Plus in Denver quoted $480 incl. labor which they say should also clear up ABS/traction control problems). Convertible top in good condition. Sound deadening material under hood got partially shredded when the serpentine belt broke. I replaced the serpentine with a top quality Gates replacement. Bodywork in good condition but the clear coat on the hood is patchy and there are a few small areas where the neighbors opened their car doors into the Allante. There is only one very small patch of rust on the entire car, on the right rear wheel arch. I'll add a picture of that. The seats could be restitched. The driver's seat reclining lever was missing when I bought the car in 2006. I have the chrome strip for the front bumper that is shown missing in the photos.

This is a chance to get a modern American classic for a great price. Car is advertised locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Buyer responsible for pickup.

Cadillac prepares to top its own 'Ring record with upcoming new CTS-V

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

It was a big deal back in 2008 when the original Cadillac CTS-V clocked a lap time of 7:59 at the Nürburgring, making it the fastest sedan ever to lap the Nordschleife to that date. Not many four-doors have bested that time since - the list consisting pretty much only of the Porsche Panamera Turbo - but now hot hatches are lapping faster than that, so you can bet that the new one will manage an even better time.
Now we've spotted the upcoming new CTS-based performance sedan several times before undergoing testing in locations around the world, but this is the first time we've seen it at the Nürburgring, apparently using the Goodyear Dunlop test facility as its base of operations (and still wearing Michigan manufacturer plates, incidentally). Considering how well the outgoing CTS-V performed and how much further you can bet Cadillac will push the envelop this time around, a new sedan lap record is almost a certainty - and we can only hope for an all-out war between Europe's performance sedan power houses to ensue.

Five awesome Lego car creations

Thu, 23 Oct 2014

Lego cars are among our favorite toys. They're fun for play, and if built properly, great to display. With that in mind, we've crafted a list of some of the best creations we've seen. Some are on sale now, while others are merely the work of fanciful enthusiasts. There are even a couple that you definitely cannot buy (we'll explain).
Our choices are diverse, including everything from a diminutive 1969 Chevy Corvette to a fullsize Ferrari Formula One racecar. These are just five projects that caught our eye - there are many more out there - so if you don't see your favorite Lego car on the list (or if you have your own creation), please tell us about it, in Comments.

Cadillac XT4 crossover to be built in Kansas City

Mon, Jan 8 2018

Cadillac's upcoming XT4, a crossover we've previously known as the XT3 in a long series of spy shots of heavily camouflaged mules, will be built at General Motors' assembly plant in Kansas City on the same platform as the Chevrolet Malibu, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the plan. That will give Cadillac another entry in the red-hot luxury crossover segment and, GM hopes, help to reverse a sales slump in the U.S. It'll also breath life into the Kansas City plant that makes the slow-selling Malibu, where GM cut a third shift last year, by sharing the assembly line between the crossover and sedan and defraying costs for each vehicle. The XT4 was known most recently as the XT3, with styling cues based on the Escala concept sedan from 2016. It's slightly smaller than the XT5, Cadillac's top-selling vehicle, and will also augment the full-size Escalade in Cadillac's stable of SUVs when it makes its expected debut later this year. Cadillac last week reported its second-highest-ever sales mark with 356,467 vehicles, an increase of 15.5 percent over 2016. But that mark papers over an 8 percent sales decline in the U.S. to 156,440 vehicles. The luxury brand is on a hot streak in China, where sales jumped 50.8 percent last year to 175,489 units.Related Video: Image Credit: Brian Williams Plants/Manufacturing Cadillac Chevrolet GM Crossover sales cadillac xt5 cadillac xt4 cadillac xt3
