Up for auction is a 1997 Cadillac Catera that was recently donated to a national charitable foundation and is being sold with NO RESERVE.

The vehicle is equipped with a 6cyl engine and AUTOMATIC transmission.  The odometer shows 149,576 miles.  It’s fairly well equipped with most of the options.  The seats are TAN LEATHER and appear to be TORN, although a good detail will make a huge difference.  The exterior of the car is GOLD and is showing signs of wear and is faded.  It has a few door dings and scratches.  The tires appear to HAVE ROUGHLY 40% road life left.  Please refer to the photos included in this auction for more description details.

This vehicle RUNS ROUGH BUT SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN.

***The alternator needs to be replaced.

***This vehicle has a blown head gasket. There is water in the oil.

As is the case with all donated vehicles we do not perform a detailed mechanical or physical inspection.  We simply convey what we are able to observe.  There may be other problems with the car that are not evident.  Therefore, please bid accordingly. 

INFORMATION CONCERNING VEHICLE TITLE:

This vehicle comes with Clear “California Lien Sale Papers” and its Registration was valid through 8/13.

California buyers will have no problem registering this vehicle with a Duplicate Title Form; however other state DMV offices don't always accept these forms.  What's a Duplicate Title Form?  It means the donor misplaced or lost the Title at time of donation and the DMV gave the donor a form to fill out which actually replaces the lost Title.  We will also have in our possession a DMV print-out or Registration or Lien Sale form showing it’s clear of any liens!  Out-of-State buyers will need to check with your local DMV office to determine what will be involved in transferring this vehicle into your name.  Some States do not accept a “California Application for Duplicate Title”.

We are not responsible for ANY fees that are due at the DMV for this vehicle. The buyer has FULL RESPONSIBILITY on issues once the vehicle has left our premises.

INFORMATION CONCERNING VEHICLE CONDITION:

We make every effort to photograph important details of the vehicles body condition, however small dings, scratches and blemishes in the vehicles paint and body are often difficult to catch in the camera lens, so if you fail to personally inspect the car, please know that these imperfections may exist.

Since the car was donated we do not have any further information on the vehicle other than what is provided herein.  Once again - As is the case with ALL our donated vehicles we can only provide bidders with a very limited evaluation of the car's condition.  We are not in the body shop or automotive repair business and cannot guarantee that our observations are 100% accurate.  The car has not been formally inspected and buyers should understand that the opinions provided herein are purely observational and are not a guarantee of condition.

We welcome and highly advise personal inspections.  Please contact our office at (714) 997-3346 for setting up an appointment.
