For your consideration is a 1988 Cadillac Allante that I recently inherited from my father. He purchased the car about three years ago as a daily driver and has put approximately 9,000 miles on the car in that time - the car has a little more than 48,000 total miles. I took the car out for a spin a few times before the snow hit, just to see what kind of shape its in. It looks great and drives great and comes with both the soft and hard tops. I am simply not a Cadillac fan, so I am offering the car for sale with no reserve.

Here's what I have been able to determine...

While the car drives great and has very low miles, it needs a tune-up. Pulling the codes shows a throttle control adjustment need, borne out by the fact that the car does hesitate every once in a while while excelerating.
The car stops just fine, but without the assistance of antilock brakes, as these have been disabled. There are no yellow or red brake warning lights.
The car is outfitted with an aftermarket stereo remote by Pioneer, connected to a tuner and cd changer mounted in the trunk of the car. The radio antenna will need to be replaced.
The driver's seat back leans slightly to the right. All seat adjustments appear to work just fine on both the driver and passenger sides.
The led bulb for the tachometer does not always stay on.
The lower front bumper has been damaged.

This car would make for an easy, drivable restoration, although as you can see from the pictures, it can be driven simply as it is. The paint and interior is all original. Its that special Cadillac pearl white color and it shines and looks great. I did not take a picture of the hardtop, but it is in excellent condition, without flaw. I have tried to list everything that I could find wrong with the car - oh, the driver's seat belt receptacle has seen better days, but works just fine.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions. I will take PayPal for the entire purchase of the car, but there will be a surcharge to do so. I can also accept credit card via Square if that is easier. Of course, cash is king. I will accept a check, but it must clear first before I release the car.

I have a clear title in hand. Thanks.

Cadillac Super Cruise gets system enhancements, more compatible highways

Wed, Jun 5 2019

Cadillac is updating Super Cruise to make it available to use on more highways, and it will offer better performance, too. Previously, Super Cruise worked on about 130,000 miles of highways across the continent. This update expands that to 200,000 miles. That's because GM has mapped that many more miles to be compatible with its lidar mapping system. As for the performance update, Cadillac says there will be enhancements to the driver monitoring system. That's the key feature that separates Super Cruise from all the other systems out there, making it a truly hands-free experience. It's able to quickly tell whether your eyes are on the road, and it reacts accordingly. We asked for details about the improvements, but all Cadillac would tell us is that there are "slight refinements to the driver attention system to even more accurately detect driver attention." Perhaps it's related to reports of sun-related issues plaguing the infrared monitoring camera. We can't tell you for sure. As for the extra miles, Cadillac says some added highways now include limited intersections and traffic control devices. Basically, there may be a stoplight or some cross traffic thrown into the mix now. Since GM has actually gone and mapped these areas, the car will tell you to take back control when approaching a railroad crossing, pedestrian crossing, stoplight or stop sign. Cadillac included a map (above) depicting the original and new Super Cruise compatible highways. You'll notice there are a lot more highways in the midwest and southeast, in addition to almost being able to cross the entirety of Canada now. Things are still a bit sparse in the western part of the country, but there aren't as many highways out there anyway. Owners of 2018 and 2019 Cadillac CT6s can expect to get the upgrade, but it's not as easy as you may think. Folks will have to take their CT6 in to the Cadillac dealer, where the "system enhancement" will take place. However, that enhancement doesn't include the additional miles. Cadillac says that update will be sent out over-the-air throughout the summer and fall. Updates for Super Cruise seem to be coming out with regularity. Last year Cadillac updated the system for easier activation, better lane placement (for passing large vehicles) and added gauge cluster messages for more information. We happen to love using the technology here at Autoblog, and gave it our 2019 Technology of the Year award.

Junkyard Gem: 1983 Cadillac Cimarron

Wed, Jul 26 2017

Ah, the Cadillac Cimarron. Conceived during a time when oil prices were zooming upward and smallish luxury imports such as the Datsun 810 and BMW 320i were stealing Detroit's customers, the idea of a fuel-efficient compact Cadillac made sense. Unfortunately for GM, the Cimarron was an image-tarnishing disaster. Here's a fairly well-preserved '83 that I spotted in a Phoenix self-service wrecking yard. In the words of Pulitzer-winning Dan Neil in his 50 Worst Cars of All Time: "Everything that was wrong, venal, lazy and mendacious about GM in the 1980s was crystallized in this flagrant insult to the good name and fine customers of Cadillac." The Cimarron was a Chevrolet Cavalier with a bit of added bling and a fatter price tag. The Chevrolet Nova-based Cadillac Seville had sold pretty well during the late 1970s, so there was precedent for a small, Chevy-based Cadillac. The hood latch mechanism was broken (of course), so I couldn't shoot any photos of this car's 2.0-liter pushrod four-cylinder engine, rated at 86 horsepower. Here's a GM-produced documentary touting the futuristic design of the '83 Cimarron. The Cimarron Dream.
