'84 Fleetwood Brougham, 107k miles. Runs & drives well. Recently serviced. Straight body, good paint, excellent roof, gently used leather interior. Some minor/normal wear & tear, but looks good overall. Definitely an attention-getter.
If you haven't driven an old C- or D-body full-size Cadillac, you've been missing out on a unique driving experience to which today's cars simply cannot compare. The driver's seats feel like you're sitting on your favorite sofa, only with a steering wheel in front of you. The auto-leveling air suspension allows these classic slabs of Detroit steel to float quietly and comfortably down the highway. The spacious back seat holds three adult passengers in comfort. I acquired this car in Portland, Maine this past February while on a coast-to-coast road trip (thanks to some jerk who decided to smash into the car I had driven out there, leaving me without a vehicle 3000 miles from home). I drove the car from Maine to Flagstaff, AZ in February, and brought the car from Flagstaff to L.A. in April. It handled the long distances at high speeds with ease and I averaged about 20 mpg. The 4.1L V8 under the hood is certainly anemic by today's standards, but it does a decent enough job of getting all that metal moving and maintaining highway speeds. If I had enough room, I would happily hang onto it. The car has a 5-digit odometer that reads a little over 7,000 miles. Based on the condition of the interior and what historical registration records I could find, I believe the odometer has only rolled over once and it has approximately 107,000 miles. CLICK HERE FOR 60+ HIGHER-RESOLUTION PHOTOS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/teamperks/sets/72157644244636888/ I'll try to summarize the vehicle's condition below. Keep in mind that this is a 30-year old car, and some normal wear and tear should be expected of any car its age. INTERIOR: - Leather seats are in overall excellent shape for their age. The leather itself is soft and does not show any signs of brittleness, cracking, fading, or sun damage. The front and rear seats all look barely used, with the exception of a couple scratches on the driver's seat (see photos). - All carpeted areas are in good condition, and the headliner has no tears or stains. - All buttons and dials work fine, including power locks, window switches, power seat levers, etc. The glove box knob has come off; I still have the knob and the glove box can still be opened with or without the knob. - The dash is free of cracks, splits, and warping. - There is some minor peeling of the wood grain on the driver's door and a couple other minor interior trim blemishes (see photos). Overall, the interior is in very good shape for its age. - The trunk is in good condition. EXTERIOR: - Again, this is a New England car and, while it looks to have been taken care of overall, it has spent time on the roads in winter. As a result, there is some minor surface rust on non-visible areas of the body (such as the bottom interior of the doors) and beneath the frame. I haven't observed any areas of serious/significant rust anywhere, but keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. - With that being said, the car looks overall pretty good for its age. There is no major fading on the paint (though there is a small patch of paint peeling on the filler panel on the front passenger side). - Body is straight with no major dings, dents, or ripples. (There is a small ding on the hood and various minor scratches typical of any car.) - All chrome is in excellent shape and does not show any rust. - All body filler panels are intact and show no signs of brittleness or cracking. - Vinyl padding on the roof is in excellent condition, with no cracks or splits. - All light and reflector lenses are intact and free of cracks and discoloration. - I replaced the tires in February 2014, approximately 2000 miles ago. - I have removed the Cadillac emblem from one of the wire wheel covers. It was just loose enough that I did not want to risk it falling off. MECHANICALS: - Overall, the car starts, runs, drives, and shifts as it should. The ride-leveling air suspension is operable and has been free of problems. - The electric radio antenna is functional but doesn't always fully extend. - Windshield washer fluid pump seems to engage as it should, but no fluid actually discharges onto the windshield. I have not investigated this, but this is pretty common in older cars and is usually an easy fix. - The A/C isn't blowing cold and will at minimum need a recharge. The vehicle has received the following services in the past 3 months: - New distributor cap/rotor, new ECM, new fuel pump, & new fuel injector. (Performed by Terry Marxen Cadillac in Flagstaf, AZ.) - New EGR solenoid, new O2 sensor, new catalytic converter, and general tune-up. (Performed by E&E Automotive Service, a Cadillac specialist in Santa Monica, CA who has worked on all of my old Cadillacs.) - New rear brakes. This vehicle is located in Beverly Hills, CA 90212. I'm happy to accommodate in-person inspections/test drives prior to the auction end. If you plan on shipping the car, I'll gladly meet the shipper and help coordinate vehicle pickup, but the buyer will be responsible for arranging shipment. Registered through April 2015, just smogged, and I have clear California title in hand. I need the space more than I need this car. Come drive this classic Caddy home! Any questions, let me know (email is preferred over phone calls). Thanks! |

2021 Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, Chevy Suburban/Tahoe recalled for stall risk
Mon, Oct 4 2021General Motors is recalling just shy of 15,000 2021 Cadillac Escalade & Escalade ESVs, Chevrolet Suburbans and Tahoes, GMC Yukons and Yukon XLs that were shipped with fuel pumps that were built with a batch of what may be faulty electronic control modules. A pump with a bad module can result in intermittent function, resulting in drivability issues and potential stalls. No serious incidents or injuries have been associated with the issue. GM says it discovered the issue after analyzing early recall data for the 2021 model SUVs and discovering an unusually high failure rate for fuel pumps manufactured by a single supplier – Vitesco. The company was able to identify the batch and initiate a recall campaign targeting just those vehicles. "After reviewing the field data, GM determined there were 617 potentially relevant complaints, which were received between April 15, 2020 and August 24, 2021," the company's recall report said. "229 of these complaints reported a stall while standing or moving. No accidents or injuries associated with this condition were found." Any SUVs built with pumps from that batch but not yet sold are being held at dealers for replacement parts. It may take some time for GM to source replacements due to the ongoing electronic parts shortages. "We are working with the supplier to obtain the required parts as quickly as possible," GM said in its notice to dealers. "When sufficient quantity of parts are available, the recall bulletin will be released and dealers can begin repairing vehicles."

GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
