This is a 1999 Cadillac Eldorado.  The body is in good condition.  I will begin by explaining the good things about this car then I will tell the bad things.  The original engine/drive train was removed a year ago, the engine began overheating.  I was facing either getting rid of it for a couple hundred dollars or repairing it.  I found a car locally that was in the midst of an estate settlement.  It was another 99 Cadillac that was owned by an elderly man that never permitted anyone to drive it.  The car was dismantled  because of no clear title.  The entire drive train was switched.  Transmission, axles, engine, struts, etc.  This engine had 96,000 miles on it.  The oil was clean.  A local mechanic did the switch.  The body has about 225,000 miles on it and given the condition I decided to fix it. 

 

With the cost of the drive train and to have it switched cost about $2600.

 

The rear shocks were replaced a couple years ago.  All new brake lines, one brake caliper, master cylinder and water pump.  Air conditioning work.  This amounted to another $700.

 

The engine runs smooth with no knocks or other noises, does not burn oil.  It has extremely fast acceleration.  The North Star Engine is strong.  It cruises along nicely.

It starts easily.  The heated leather seats during cold months are very nice.

 

 

The bad.  This car is going on 15 years old.  The chassis has 220,000 miles on it.  You should not expect this car to be like a new $50,000 Cadillac.  Although the body is in good condition there are some details that need attention.  The front bumper does not fit perfectly and the little trim pieces on the bumpers are loose.   A rear brake lens is cracked.  There are dings and small scratches.  The air conditioner was charged last June and within a few weeks it lost its charge.  The sun roof does not work well.  There are dash light notifications showing anti lock brakes and occasional other messages.  Purchase this car with the idea that the anti lock brake system may or may not be working.  Other dash light notices do not seem to affect the running or driving of this car.

 

The pictures give a good idea of the condition.  BUT I have found that often the pictures do make a car look a little better than the condition you will find in person.   So, I want to be clear about what you will find if you buy this car.  I would answer any questions.  I want to make every effort to describe this car accurately to complete a transaction where the buyer and I am satisfied while maintaining my 100% positive feedback.  Area code 740 my exchange is 581 and last 4 digits is 0114.  We have a clear Ohio Title, it is located at zip 43724, I may be able to assist with delivery or shipping.

Cadillac ELR getting massive discounts, some up to $14,000

Mon, Jul 14 2014

Well, that didn't go as planned. General Motors had marketed the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in as a premium version of the Chevrolet Volt with some Caddy refinements. Now, it looks like that premium, at least from a price standpoint, is shrinking. Shoppers in a number of states are reporting that GM and its dealers are discounting the ELR in order to move more off dealer lots. The issue is that few people are biting at the official price tag of about $76,000, so GM has started offering as much as $8,000 worth of dealer and customer incentives, Transport Evolved reports. More recently, dealers in states such as Florida, Texas and Maryland are offering discounts in the $12,000-to-$14,000 range, and that's before any federal and state plug-in incentives kick in. It's not difficult to guess why. Through the first half of the year, GM sold fewer than 400 ELRs. Last month, Caddy moved just 97 units, or about as many as Tesla sells of its Model S in a day. Perpahs recent spy shots that reveal a test ELR that appears to up the sportiness quotient, with touches such as larger wheels and brakes, will also help sales. Check out Autoblog's "First Drive" impressions of the ELR here.

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan

Sat, Jul 22 2017

Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.
