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.

C7 Corvette won't spawn new Cadillac XLR [w/video]
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Between the new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray and the even newer Cadillac Elmiraj Concept shown off at Pebble Beach, we were already expecting some sort of chatter of a Cadillac XLR redux. During an in-depth C7 Corvette discussion with Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, Fox News asked if a Corvette-based, Bowling Green-built Cadillac will be built off the C7. Non-spoiler alert: the answer is no.
Juechter says that General Motors has "no intent" on transforming this car into a Cadillac product since the C7 has been optimized for the Corvette buyer, a consumer that's generally a different sort of person than a Cadillac intender who might also be cross-shopping a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class or BMW 6 Series.
While we're not ready to write off a future XLR altogether, we assume that the Corvette Cadillac experiment is most likely never going to happen again. The interview with Juechter is posted below, but the XLR discussion comes in at the 9:00 mark.
J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience
Thu, 29 Nov 2012JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Our favorite mid-engine Corvette theories and rumors
Tue, Sep 13 2016The mid-engine Corvette! We just saw blurry photos through the foliage, and are hearts are all aflutter because it means that this car is real. And it's the most " never before" Corvette since 1984. Which leads us to all kinds of wacky theories and speculation. Everybody knows something or heard from a guy. None of those guys (or gals) from GM are talking to Autoblog, to be clear. But that won't stop us from stirring the pot. Let's go over a few point-by-point. The pushrod engine will be replaced by an overhead-cam V8 Car and Driver has repeatedly reported that an overhead-cam engine will come after the mid-engine Corvette's debut with an old-school pushrod. We've heard the same thing firsthand, albeit from a source with no connection to the development of the Corvette or powertrain. "At some point two valves can't pass future emissions regulations," said the guy we know. While the pushrod engine is compact, the design makes it difficult - if not impossible - for sophisticated variable valve timing (and lift) systems that control combustion with more precision. Hasty conclusion: The pushrod engine has a finite life in front of it. This one's a lock, it's a just a matter of when. Bowling Green's new paint shop is really the mid-engine assembly line Credit to Reddit for this one. Like we said, everybody knows a guy. But let's look deeper. The new paint facility costs $439 million dollars and adds 450,000 square feet, almost half the size of the existing plant. Plus GM announced another $290 million in upgrades at Bowling Green Assembly. That sure sounds like a lot of money, but you can actually spend that much on a paint booth. Porsche spent 500 million Euros (about $561 million dollars) to add the Macan assembly to its Leipzig, Germany plant in 2014. Chrysler shelled out $850 million for a paint shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan. GM spent $600 million for a new paint shop at the Fairfax (Kansas City) plant. Honda, on the other hand, is working on a thrifty $210 million project in Marysville, Ohio that includes a 300,000 square foot expansion, and the low-volume Acura NSX facility only cost $70 million. Hasty conclusion: The square footage and cost could easily mean a new assembly line instead of (or in addition to) a paint line. And if the NSX plant was really that cheap, GM could have hidden a similar sum in its existing announcements.
