Caldwell, Ohio, United States

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.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

Cadillac teases camo'd ELR ahead of Detroit debut

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

With the 2014 Cadillac ELR being introduced next week at the Detroit Auto Show, General Motors has revealed another picture of its luxury range extended electric vehicle. Last month, we saw a dark, teaser photo showing some of the body detail for the electric coupe, but this recent photo shows the Cadillac in full camouflage testing in California back in September.
If this car looks familiar, it's because our spy shooters got a jump on GM by catching the car in action and providing pictures from all angles. There are still no official details for the ELR yet aside from the fact that it will share the Voltec system with the Chevrolet Volt, but we'll finally see the car unveiled in Detroit a week from today.

2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe favors cleanliness over radical lines

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Though you might not know it from looking at vehicles like the XTS and Escalade, if you take a broader look at history, you'll see that Cadillac models have gotten a lot smaller from the tail-finned highway cruisers of old. At least when it comes to coupes, anyway. The Eldorado, in particular, kept getting smaller until it disappeared, its place taken in recent years by decidedly more compact XLR, CTS Coupe and ELR hybrid. What you see here, however, is Cadillac's smallest coupe yet.
Revealed today at the Detroit Auto Show is the new 2015 Cadillac ATS Coupe, the brand's first compact two-door coupe, and the first production car to wear the brand's all-new crest. It shares the same platform and wheelbase as the existing ATS sedan, but packs a wider track and unique bodywork that's decidedly more conservative and less unique in its angular styling than the CTS Coupe that it's likely to ultimately displace in the Cadillac lineup. Styling aside, the all-American luxury marque has engineered the ATS Coupe with a focus on reducing weight to the benefit of both performance and fuel economy, giving it near 50/50 weight balance front to rear with underbody aerodynamic elements helping it cheat the wind.
Buyers will be able to choose between two engines: a 2.0-liter turbo four and a 3.6-liter V6.
