Last of the big boy RWD V8’s! LT-1 “Vette” engine, only 76k original miles. Adriatic Blue with matching interior. All the typical Caddy options – digital dash, power seats with a million settings, lumbar, heated seats, rear vanity mirrors, twilight sentinel, power trunk, nice dual exhaust, auto-leveling, power antenna…and it goes on and on. It is stock minus an in-dash DVD and HID headlights.

I always wanted one of these and looked for a ’94-’96 in blue for over a year. This car is actually more rare because it does NOT have leather or a vinyl roof! I actually bought this as my winter car but after I got it home and realized how nice it was I parked it and bought a truck instead. Having said that I’ve driven it from MI to see friends in NH three times, and up to Midland ON for work a few times and it performed flawlessly! 23mpg all day long and all the power you could want. Originally from Virginia and brought to MI a few years ago where the last owner kept it in a garage, as did I.

Car has new (from previous owner): water pump and thermostat, power steering pump, A/C compressor, plugs and wires

Car has brand new (from me): battery, tires, all front end parts – steering stabilizer, center link, end links, rod ends….etc.

“Major” disclosures about the car (even though they’re not):

-some wear on the driver’s seat (shown in photo)

-plastic cover for hood release is missing (just the cover, handle works great)

-little knob on power seat switch is broken (shown in photo, seat motor still functions perfect)

-my wife says the power lumbar on the passenger seat isn’t working, but the motor functions so I’m not sure the issue

-car has factory alarm, but previous owner put in an aftermarket alarm as well. After I replaced the cars’ battery I now can’t get the key fob reprogrammed to lock/unlock the doors….maybe an easy fix if you know more about alarms than me?

-the remote for the DVD player was either stolen or lost. The unit still works great (about $30 to replace)

-the brakes work good, too good! I know nothing about drum brakes but I’m thinking they might need to be adjusted. When the car sits for awhile the brakes become very ‘sensitive’ until you pump the pedal a few times.

-there are some scratches around the car, most notably around the drivers’ door handle (where an elderly person would have trouble finding the keyhole). Also some on the drivers’ tail, I’m guessing the car was either bumped in a parking lot by a grocery cart or possibly a car. Neither of these things detract from the overall beauty and condition of this 17yo car. No rust showing, no damage in the form of dents or major dings, and nothing major happening with the body. When the car is cleaned up it still looks fantastic, even the original wheels and stainless rockers look great. I'll have the car fully detailed prior to transfer.

  Very minor things to fix if you wanted the car to be ‘perfect’…or drive it the way it is! Low miles and will last a long time. Although I love these cars some of the prices I see being asked for them are a little ridiculous imo. I’ve priced mine LOW and FAIR for everyone. Also, I obviously need the standard “no guarantee or warranty” clause thrown in here….as assumed with any used car. If you needed to have the car picked up and shipped I will accommodate as best as possible.

So that’s it! Not much else to say except “it’s a Caddy”….purrs like a kitten and it definitely floats down the road as an older Caddy should.

Update - I apologize for the double description...I just wanted to clarify that the vehicle has lower than average wear. Not sure why it reposted everything and Ebay is working on it, although they haven't been any help. Thx
