Every exceptional car should come with some history; in the case of my wife’s car, it was purchased in AUG.  2008.  The Dealer, Armen Cadillac-Hummer, Plymouth Meeting, PA, mileage then 34,324 on the odometer; MILEAGE now 42,646 rust free, always dry and garage kept. 

It’s been a pampered weekend only vehicle, and has been driven only some 8,000 miles since our purchase; in fact, in the last 2 years it’s been driven less than 3,000 miles since our move in 2011 from the Washington DC area to Louisiana.

When I wrote this AD I noticed CARFAX/CARCHEK posted a Minor Accident and lowered our rating so I pulled the AD to find out what had we missed.  It turns out, a character off in the VIN of another like vehicle caused a mix up.  We contacted the Police Department in which the incident was reported and they quickly resolved the issue and we applaud the Lake Mills, WI PD, specifically the Chief and Records Person for their help and great service.  On the other hand, CARFAX/CARCHEK have their own process (wait in line) and we'll get around to it.  As such, I posted the Lake Mills, WI PD response for your confidence in buying a accident free vehicle. 

All PMs have been timely, no failures or major repairs have been required.  All instruments/components work and the retractable top is fully functional.  The car still has ONSTAR onboard and that may be transferred at the Dealer for a fee.  The car comes with all the standard XLR options such as: ABS, AIR, Leather Seats, CD, HID Projection, Back-Up Curb Sensor, Navigation, Power Seats and dozens of more items, just email me if you have any questions.

Since we restored and own a 1963 and 1965 Corvette we couldn’t help but add some XLR upgrades. Not wanting to change any comfort or safety feature or make some unfamiliar modification, we stuck to Tire Wheels and Brake upgrades.  Most importantly, if she had a flat while riding alone she’d have some piece of mind.

To complement our safety concern (no spare onboard standard) and wanting the XLR-V stance and lower profile, we sized up the tires adding 4 Pirelli (Eufori @8) Run Flat tires, P255/40R-19 rear and P235/45-19 front.   Adding to the braking Performance, we added Drilled Disc Performance Rotors that greatly improved an already great braking system and upgraded to Performance Ceramic brake pads; also, we added new Cadillac Chrome 19 inch wheels, caps and locking lug nuts.  The entire tire, wheel, and brake package has less than 3,000 miles of use and just saved you over $7,500.00.

The car has a couple super small rock nicks almost invisible unless you’re inches from the body, but that’s probably standard at this age; I’ll give it a 9.5 out 10 on the Paint; the pics tell the true story. The interior is exceptionally clean, smoke free, smells like new, looks new and feels new.  The car rides, sounds like new and drives like it and needs nothing and can be driven anywhere.

 Why are we selling? Due to the lack of smooth surfaces in our area and different driving requirements; her taste have turned to the acquisition of a SUV.   So, if you’re interested in this type of a vehicle, this one provides some of the XLR-V perks but not the price and will be a dependable and pristine car to own.   Just turn the key and smile!

 

The car is being sold AS-IS NO WARRANTY implied or offered.  We reserve the right to end the auction early if a sale is completed.  Good luck and happy bidding.

2021 Cadillac Escalade vs. 2020 Lincoln Navigator | How they compare on paper

Wed, Feb 5 2020

The 2021 Cadillac Escalade arrived late last night, and we all know what that means: It’s comparison time. Specifically, weÂ’re pitting the new Escalade versus the 2020 Lincoln Navigator. The sales gap between the long-time competitors has grown dangerously close for Cadillac ever since the revolutionary new Navigator came out for the 2018 model year. In 2019, the Navigator was only about 4,000 units down from the Escalade. Cadillac intends to widen that gap back up with a new truck, and now itÂ’s time to see if itÂ’s brought the right goods to the party. With the redesigned model that now features an independent rear suspension, these two are more alike than theyÂ’ve been in a long time. The Escalade was stuck with the less space-efficient solid rear end up until now, as GM hadnÂ’t yet made the switch to IRS that Ford long-ago did. Now that it has, these two are super similar from a dimensions perspective. Cadillac was playing catch-up in this fight, so it knew exactly where it needed to aim to come out victorious in a specs battle such as this one. A quick note on the chart below. Both of these models have a “regular” and “long” version. The EscaladeÂ’s long variant is still named ESV, and the NavigatorÂ’s long version is simply named L. In the dimensions section, we distinguish between the two with a “/” — the “regular” length version is on the left, and the “long” version is on the right side of the slash. The numbers are below: Powertrain The Lincoln Navigator still reigns supreme when it comes to power, as the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 is high on both horsepower and torque. GMÂ’s small-block V8 comes close, but ultimately falls short by 30 horsepower and 50 pound-feet of torque to the twin-turbo V6. Cadillac does have an ace up its sleeve, though. It comes in the form of the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-six engine. Lincoln hasnÂ’t dropped the PowerStroke diesel into the Navigator (and we'd be shocked if it does), so Cadillac has a unique offering in this segment now. The diesel will be optional on the Escalade, but it has less horsepower and the same amount of torque as the V8. We expect the big advantage for the diesel will come in fuel economy, an area where the Silverado Duramax diesel currently outpaces the full-size truck competition. Both of these big SUVs come standard with 10-speed automatic transmissions. Intriguingly, itÂ’s the 10-speed automatic that was co-developed between Ford and GM.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V First Drive [w/video]

Fri, Jul 31 2015

A million insects lost their lives today. Boxelder bugs and mayflies making the ultimate sacrifice in Elkhart Lake, their carapaces no buffer against a rocketing rectangle of safety glass. Their bodies gorily streaking into spangles along the diamond-faceted face of the Cadillac CTS-V. Road America is a four-mile ribbon of pavement snaking its way through the emerald center of the country's northern heartland. Since the 1950s it's seen uncountable fields of diverse racing machinery rocket over its hills and around its 14 corners. I would imagine that on those occasions the tramping of onlookers and hubbub of vehicles, both competitive and commonplace, would dissuade a great number of our six-legged friends from making their way onto the track. But today it's just me turning laps. Inconceivably just one journalist, driving the baddest roadgoing Cadillac ever made, on one of the loveliest circuits America has ever carved out. So big-winged bugs made it out to me in a vast array and a tragic sum, and I drilled through them oblivious to anything but one of the greatest days of driving I've ever had. Cadillac has turned its CTS-V from a performance sedan to a monster. For 2016 Cadillac has turned its CTS-V from a performance sedan to a monster worthy of the carnage described above. The words "epic" and "awesome" are hilariously overused on the Internet, but in the case of the CTS-V's 6.2-liter supercharged V8, their literal meanings are fitting. The capacity to produce 640 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque is astounding. Feeling those outputs come to growling life under my foot arch, uncorks different reactions in my brain as the day wears on: first trepidation, next cautious optimism, finally red-eyed bloodlust. A glance at the power and torque curves will show you that the charged V8 behaves more like a naturally aspirated thing than a turbo'd on/off switch. Peak torque arrives at 3,600 rpm, horsepower at 6,400, giving the engine lovely, linear power delivery. Even with top torque happening near the middle of the tach, there's no small amount of the stuff when the engine first spins up, so launching all 4,145 pounds of Detroit iron still feels exotic. Launching all 4,145 pounds of Detroit iron still feels exotic. On the roads around Wisconsin, using all of the available power is hardly advisable, but I have no trouble driving this fast car slowly (sort of).

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.
