1985 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe

Original Saddle Tan Firemist Exterior with Matching Vinyl Roof and Light Tan Leather Interior

4.1L V8 and 4-Speed Automatic Transmission

Excellent 100% Original Condition with Only 37,489 Original Miles

This 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe is a superb 100% original example of the final year of the final generation of traditional Eldorados; the model was dramatically downsized and downgraded the next year. We purchased the car from Daniel Schmitt & Co. of St. Louis, who bought it from its original owner in Palm Springs, California (see original listing here). Since then it has been garage kept and driven locally in good weather only. With only 37,489 original miles it has been driven less than 1,500 miles a year, and its condition reflects its exceptionally low mileage.

It is finished in original Saddle Tan Firemist paint with matching vinyl roof and a light tan leather interior. Inside and out, it presents exceptionally well for its age with no major cosmetic flaws. The paint is still shiny, the leather trim still soft and supple. There is no rust or body damage.

As befits one of the premier American luxury cars of its era, it is fitted with a high level of equipment including 4.1L V8 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, leather upholstery, wire wheel covers, automatic climate control, power windows, power door locks, power driver's seat and more.

The car has just had the oil changed, transmission fluid flushed and the rear self-leveling air suspension repaired. The car will also have a new battery installed before being delivered to its new owner. The only significant mechanical flaw of which we are aware of is that the air conditioner needs a recharge as it no longer blows cold.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy one of the best examples you will find of this generation of Eldorado.

Please remember that while this car is in excellent condition, it is still a used car, and therefore has wear consistent with its age and (very low) mileage.

We believe this listing is a fair and accurate representation of the car and its condition, to the best of our knowledge. However, because of its age, it is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have and we will be happy to answer them to the best of our ability.

The car is located in Islip, Long Island, NY. The buyer is welcome to collect the car in person, or it can be shipped to them. If the buyer chooses to have the car shipped, the buyer will be responsible for all shipping charges and for making all shipping arrangements.

The winning bidder will be required to pay a deposit of $1,000.00 via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Full payment via cashier's check is required within 7 days of the close of the auction. Payment may also be in cash at the time of pick-up if the buyer chooses to pick the car up in person. If the buyer chooses to have the car shipped, we will not ship the car until we have received full payment.

Please note that this car is for sale to US and Canadian buyers only.

Thank you and good luck!

GM announces six new recalls, covering 3.5 million vehicles

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

General Motors has just initiated another crushingly large recall, this time affecting some 3.36 million vehicles built between 2000 and 2014 and sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. Once again, the issue surrounds the cars' ignition switches, which can be kicked out of the run position if they're carrying extra weight or if they experience a "jarring" event. In this particular case, though, GM will modify the keys, rather than the ignition itself.
A four-by-six-millimeter hole will be drilled into the key, which will more safely accommodate the weight of the key ring. As is usually the case, the work will be done free of charge. The recalled vehicles include the 2000 to 2005 Cadillac Deville, 2004 to 2005 Buick Regal LS and GS, 2004 to 2011 Cadillac DTS, 2005 to 2009 Buick Lacrosse, 2006 to 2008 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2006 to 2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006 to 2014 Chevrolet Impala. Only the Impala is still in production, and even then, it's only sold to fleet companies.
According to an official statement from GM, there have been eight crashes and six injuries due to this latest issue. As if this isn't a dire enough blow for GM, the company has announced five smaller recalls, covering 165,000 vehicles.

Is Cadillac working on an ELR-V? [w/video]

Mon, 12 May 2014

Could it be? Could Cadillac be working on an even higher-end version of its ELR plug-in hybrid? Well, General Motors' Executive Vice President Mark Reuss has gone on record as... well, not saying much. The exec was more than a bit coy on video (which you can view below) when asked about the idea of an ELR-V, although he did say that Cadillac was looking at "expanding the tuning envelope" for its plug-in coupe. What that means could be hinted at in these spy photos.
Cadillac is certainly up to something with this little red ELR. As is often the case, it's the car's enhanced brakes that give it away. Bigger binders are a telltale sign of sportier aspirations, and it's safe to say that rule applies with the ELR. The larger rotors and four-piston Brembo calipers are sourced from the Buick Regal GS, which we imagine would be plenty to bring the high-priced hybrid to a halt.
Obscuring those rotors and calipers are larger, double-armed five-spoke wheels. And, according to our spies, hiding behind that camouflage is a new grille. Outside of those two items, though, there's not much aesthetic change.

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:
