This 1998 Cadillac DeVille D'Elegance is from the estate of a lifelong friend who passed away in January 2014. Purchased brand new in late 1997 from the local Cadillac dealer, this one-owner beauty has been meticulously maintained by the same owner and same dealer since new. It is a non-smoker car that has been garage kept its entire life, and it shows. When I pulled it out of the garage, I rinsed the light dust off of it and that's all I did. She was so particular about her car that she has rubber mats over the carpeted mats. The interior is immaculate. Close inspection shows some very slight wear on the driver's seat bolsters (outside edge) from getting in and out, but you've got to look close. There is no interior odor and, again, I didn't touch the interior prior to taking the photos.

On the outside, it's unbelievable for a '98 model car. There are a few slight pecks and dings, but hardly noticeable. That's the beauty of a White car. Curiously, the thin bright silver trim that circles the car within the side molding has some spots on some of the pieces, most noticeable on the left rear door, but I really don't think it's a distraction to the otherwise stunning appearance. The Michelin tires look nearly brand new and the thin White stripe really sets off the dazzling chrome aluminum wheels. Unlike the faux chrome wheels that automakers use today, these are genuine chromed aluminum wheels, exclusive to the d'Elegance model, and none have any curb damage.

Mechanically, it starts and runs perfectly. The battery looks fairly new, but I can't be sure how old it is. I only drove it a few miles, but checked everything out that I could. The HVAC system operates great, all of the instrumentation is bright and functioning properly, the radio and CD player sound beautiful. I didn't have a cassette to try, however, but would guess it works fine, too. The d'Elegance model has rear seat sun visors and I did notice that the vanity mirror light didn't work on the left rear one.

There could be other things wrong with the car, as would be the case with any used vehicle, but you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer 1998 model car of any description, in my opinion. Automakers don't make roomy, great riding, comfortable cars like these anymore. For the money, this is a lot of car!

Of course, it is being sold As Is, Without Warranty. Buyer assumes all risks. It is impossible to know everything about a used car, or what might happen to it in the future, but from what I know about this one, who owned it, and how it was taken care of, I would not hesitate to load my family in it and go anywhere.

You are welcome to have it inspected by anyone you choose. It has a clear, open title. The title shows the previous title number to be the MSO. The title was issued on 12/04/1997 and it had 89 miles on the odometer. It has all of the original owner's manuals and glove box materials. It has the two original ignition keys (one gold) with built in chip and several door keys (one gold). It has one remote fob, and it works fine (the family could only find one fob).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I would like to be paid within 3 days of auction close. Cash, cashiers check or wire transfer preferred. Buyer is responsible to pick up the car. It is located in Stuttgart, Arkansas 72160.

Thanks so much for looking!

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Hotter Cadillac ATS-V+ could use LS7 power

Tue, May 26 2015

Rumor has it Cadillac is working on an even hotter version of the ATS-V, possibly called ATS-V+. And the latest intel from Motor Trend suggests this new model might have a great, big V8 under the hood. The V8 in question is the high-revving, naturally aspirated 7.0-liter LS7 from the Camaro Z/28. The hand-built engine makes 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque in the Z/28 – a nice increase over the 464 hp and 445 lb-ft in the standard ATS-V, which uses a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. Motor Trend says the ATS-V+ will come to market with an eight-speed automatic transmission, as well as the seven-speed manual 'box from the Corvette. A dual-clutch transmission will come to market later. Of course, we'll believe it when we see it. But an LS7-powered ATS-V sure sounds like a great package to us. Here's hoping.

2020 Cadillac XT4 Sport Drivers' Notes | Worth a look, or two

Fri, Mar 6 2020

The 2020 Cadillac XT4 is Cadillac’s smallest crossover in its burgeoning lineup of SUVs. Most of the attention is on the new Escalade these days, but the XT4 is where someone with a lighter budget might enter the Cadillac brand. Our tester happens to be the Sport model, giving it a distinctive appearance, separate from the Luxury and Premium Luxury trims. This one has a gloss black mesh grille, black trim throughout the exterior and Sport-specific wheels Â— the others rely much more heavily on chrome. Cadillac stepped it up in the design studio for the XT4, as one of its best qualities is the exterior design. It compares well to other small crossovers and doesn't look like your typical cookie-cutter crossover on the road. ThereÂ’s only one engine available, and itÂ’s a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. When the XT4 came out for the 2019 model year, this engine was brand new. Today, Cadillac is passing it around the lineup to vehicles like the CT5 and CT4. A nine-speed automatic transmission is the only transmission option, as well. Our tester has all-wheel drive, but front-wheel drive is standard on lesser XT4s. There isnÂ’t a whole lot changed for the 2020 model year, but Cadillac did add an Â“Off RoadÂ” mode and made a bunch of safety equipment standard. With our test car being a Sport trim with all-wheel drive equipped, the base price is $42,295, a fair bit greater than the $36,690 standard car. After options, our XT4 totaled $48,310. The most expensive extra is a $1,500 Bose Centerpoint audio system, combined with navigation. An $1,100 Driver Assistance package brought adaptive cruise control, enhanced automatic emergency braking and reverse automatic emergency braking. A Cold Weather package added heated seats all around and a heated steering wheel for $850. Finally, the $470 Driver Awareness package brought automatic high beams and lane-keep assist. Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder: This one grew on me the more I drove it. I was unconvinced for the first part of my drive, but then things started to feel more well-though-out as I used them. For instance, the line of buttons across the center stack looks daunting, until you turn the car on and their labels are illuminated. Then everything is easy to find thanks to the lighting, symmetry and the fact that you only have to look down a single line of buttons rather than hunt around a grid pattern.
