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 cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid

Thu, Nov 5 2020

General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018–2020 Equinox, 2018–2020 Traverse, 2019–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018–2019 LaCrosse, 2019–2020 Encore, 2019–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018–2020 Terrain, 2019–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted. Dealers will inspect the transmission accumulator, and replace those with loose or missing bolts.

Ghostbusters' Ecto-1 detailed in behind-the-scenes video

Thu, Jun 9 2016

The Ghostbusters reboot is coming, ready or not. And along with a gender swap between the 'busters and their secretary, the team's trusty chariot, Ecto-1, is getting a refresh. It's still a specialized Cadillac, but that's where the similarities end, judging by the new featurette you see above. Instead of a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Ambulance, 2016's Ecto-1 is a 1982 Cadillac Deville. And instead of being built to keep people from dying, the new car is meant to transport the dead. Yep, it's a hearse. It's hard not to find some kind of hidden meaning there, but this video doesn't mention it. What we have learned here is that the way the new Ghostbusters acquire their vehicle is a little bit different than it was in the original film. In the 1984 version, Dr. Ray Stantz, played by Dan Aykroyd, bought the 1959 ambulance for $4,800 – the equivalent of $11,000 today – despite a litany of problems. It was clear in the film that Ecto-1 was dilapidated long before the Ghostbusters breathed life back into it. But in the new film, the team acquires Ecto-1 from the uncle of Patty Tolan – Leslie Jones' character. And based on the film featurette, it looks like it's in solid shape before the team adds its distinctive livery and logo. You can learn more about the car, see parts of the build process, and hear the cast and crew talk about it in this two-minute featurette. Ghostbusters hits theaters on July 15. Related Video:

eBay Find of the Day: Ryan Gosling Eldorado from Lost River

Thu, Apr 9 2015

What's better than a car connected to Ryan Gosling? A car connected to Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith (the eleventh Doctor Who for our less nerdy readers). This 1966 Cadillac Eldorado convertible is driven by Smith in Lost River, Gosling's directorial debut. The movie was filmed in Detroit, with plenty of footage at the Packard factory, and the car is located in the nearby enclave of Hamtramck. Truth be told, this car has questionable star appeal and it needs a lot of work. Lost River currently holds a 20% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I've never seen an episode of any Doctor Who – a fact that amazes Seyth Miersma. And while I agree with Kroll Show character Wendell Shawn that Gosling is a "beautiful idiot," that's not enough for me to buy a car with an exhaust leak. The body on this Eldorado looks clean, but there is plenty of restoration work for the next owner. The listing states that most of the exterior and trim needs to be installed, and the front seats are in rough shape. Other details are vague – the carburetor "might need to be rebuilt" and the radiator and fan "may need to be replaced" but neither statements explain why. On the upside, the 340 horsepower (gross rating), 429 cubic inch V8 runs well. Reserve is not met at the current price of $4,000, but this could be a chance to get a classic '60's convertible for cheap.
