Up for auction is this 1989 Cadillac Allante Convertible with removable hard top. 4.5 LTR V-8, auto fully loaded. Pearl white with burgandy leather interior. It has a little over 220 thousand miles. Body is in nice shape with the exception of a ding on the hood and a small dent on the bottom front of the drivers door. Here is the story. A friend of ours purchased this car in early 2003 for his wifes personal driver. She drove it regularly in the good months up until late 2009. She needed a car with more room so she bought a Lincoln and put this car up. We recently aquired this car in a trade. Battery was low so we jumped the car and drove it home. The only thing we noticed was the brakes were a little hard when applied and we figured it was from just sitting so long without use. Planned on going thru it anyway. Motor ran great, trans shifted fine, car handled nice. We let the car sit for aprox a month, brought it in the garage to install a new battery, do a tune up and clean the car. I figured this would be a good spring and summer driver. Then the nightmare began. We installed the new battery, cleaned the car, went to drive it out and it started but only ran for about 10 seconds. On the second try it almost started but acted like it was out of fuel. I didnt bother with it until the next day. It started instantly, ran for the 10 seconds and wouldnt start again. I figured maybe the fuel pump was acting up or the fuel guage wasnt right. So the next day I put a couple of gallons of fuel in, jacked up the car to tap on the fuel tank to try to jar the fuel pump to kick in. Went to turn the car over and it wouldnt. All lights came on etc but no turn over. I had my son in law come over that night to try and diagnose the problem. He jumped the starter wires and the starter turns over fine, just not turning by the key which worked all the other times until now. He tested all the relays he could find and they checked out ok. He checked the fuse panel in the console and that was fine. He said there were bigger fuses in the trunk area but the key doesnt work the trunk and the power button isnt working for the release. He figures it could be a relay to the starter but doesnt know where its located. Also could be theft deterient lock out. All I know is I dont have time or the patience to deal with this. I got a lot more money in the car then I should so I am going to sell it as is with no reserve and take my lumps. If you are handy at electrical problems or dealing with issues like this then go for it. Only bid if your willing to follow through with the sale.

Cadillac ELR update delayed over autonomous drive systems issues
Fri, Nov 28 2014Rumors had been circulating that the 2016 Cadillac ELR would bow in Los Angeles recently, featuring, in Cadillac's own words, "engineering enhancements." The rumors and that quote are as far as it got – the updated ELR pulled a no-show in LA, and no one outside of the brand appears to know when it will appear. GM Inside News says its sources at Cadillac pinned the ELR's absence on some autonomous driving features not being ready to reveal. According to GMI, Cadillac insiders say the upgraded ELR will be a "highly autonomous vehicle," and the company needs more time to gets its systems polished. The site says "it's not unreasonable to assume that ELR will be [the] vehicle" that gets Cadillac's Super Cruise technology, but that seems a lot more involved than "engineering enhancements," and in September Cadillac said we'd see it sometime in the next two years. It's possible the wait for the 2016 ELR and its secrets might only be a couple of months: the next-generation Chevrolet Volt, which shares a platform with the ELR and whose engineering updates we know quite a bit about, is scheduled to appear at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January.
Best 3rd row SUVs of 2022
Wed, Oct 19 2022If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices. OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.  In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
GM alerting truck and sedan owners to a do-over on brake recall
Wed, Jan 29 2020A recall campaign intended to address issues with braking systems on certain 2019 General Motors trucks and sedans may have introduced a new issue, the automaker has acknowledged, and thousands of owners driving repaired vehicles may need to return to their service departments for another update. The update addresses a fix that was pushed out to owners of more than half a million brand-new GM trucks and sedans that could potentially lose partial braking function, according to the Detroit Free Press. The original software fix helped address situations where the vehicles' anti-lock braking systems would become disabled, which in turn would prevent electronic stability control from activating. Vehicles subject to the recall would often experience software glitches that prevented them from properly communicating the operational state of these systems, meaning drivers would have no idea that their brakes may not behave as expected in an emergency. The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Cadillac CT6, and GMC Sierra 1500 were all recalled in the original campaign. Unfortunately, the early version of this fix appears to have introduced yet another software glitch, indicating that the original fix did not do the trick. Those who have not yet had their cars serviced can rest easy; they will only receive the most up-to-date version of the software fix. Related video  Â
