Last of the big boy RWD V8’s! LT-1 “Vette” engine, only 76k original miles. Adriatic Blue with matching interior. All the typical Caddy options – digital dash, power seats with a million settings, lumbar, heated seats, rear vanity mirrors, twilight sentinel, power trunk, nice dual exhaust, auto-leveling, power antenna…and it goes on and on. It is stock minus an in-dash DVD and HID headlights.

I always wanted one of these and looked for a ’94-’96 in blue for over a year. This car is actually more rare because it does NOT have leather or a vinyl roof! I actually bought this as my winter car but after I got it home and realized how nice it was I parked it and bought a truck instead. Having said that I’ve driven it from MI to see friends in NH three times, and up to Midland ON for work a few times and it performed flawlessly! 23mpg all day long and all the power you could want. Originally from Virginia and brought to MI a few years ago where the last owner kept it in a garage, as did I.

Car has new (from previous owner): water pump and thermostat, power steering pump, A/C compressor, plugs and wires

Car has brand new (from me): battery, tires, all front end parts – steering stabilizer, center link, end links, rod ends….etc.

“Major” disclosures about the car (even though they’re not):

-some wear on the driver’s seat (shown in photo)

-plastic cover for hood release is missing (just the cover, handle works great)

-little knob on power seat switch is broken (shown in photo, seat motor still functions perfect)

-my wife says the power lumbar on the passenger seat isn’t working, but the motor functions so I’m not sure the issue

-car has factory alarm, but previous owner put in an aftermarket alarm as well. After I replaced the cars’ battery I now can’t get the key fob reprogrammed to lock/unlock the doors….maybe an easy fix if you know more about alarms than me?

-the remote for the DVD player was either stolen or lost. The unit still works great (about $30 to replace)

-the brakes work good, too good! I know nothing about drum brakes but I’m thinking they might need to be adjusted. When the car sits for awhile the brakes become very ‘sensitive’ until you pump the pedal a few times.

-there are some scratches around the car, most notably around the drivers’ door handle (where an elderly person would have trouble finding the keyhole). Also some on the drivers’ tail, I’m guessing the car was either bumped in a parking lot by a grocery cart or possibly a car. Neither of these things detract from the overall beauty and condition of this 17yo car. No rust showing, no damage in the form of dents or major dings, and nothing major happening with the body. When the car is cleaned up it still looks fantastic, even the original wheels and stainless rockers look great. I'll have the car fully detailed prior to transfer.

Very minor things to fix if you wanted the car to be ‘perfect’…or drive it the way it is! Low miles and will last a long time. Although I love these cars some of the prices I see being asked for them are a little ridiculous imo. I’ve priced mine LOW and FAIR for everyone. Also, I obviously need the standard “no guarantee or warranty” clause thrown in here….as assumed with any used car. If you needed to have the car picked up and shipped I will accommodate as best as possible.

So that’s it! Not much else to say except “it’s a Caddy”….purrs like a kitten and it definitely floats down the road as an older Caddy should.

Update - I apologize for the double description...I just wanted to clarify that the vehicle has lower than average wear. Not sure why it reposted everything and Ebay is working on it, although they haven't been any help. Thx

Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here Â– to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.

GM posts $4 billion third-quarter profit thanks to trucks and SUVs

Thu, Nov 5 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is posting huge third quarter numbers, pulling in $4 billion in profit over three months after losing money due to the virus outbreak. GM's adjusted earnings were $2.83 per share, easily outpacing Wall Street's per-share projections of $1.43, according to a survey by FactSet. Revenue of $35.5 billion also edged out most expectations. Shares jumped almost 6% before the opening bell Thursday. The company swung back from a $806 million loss in the second quarter, when it was restarting factories shuttered for safety during the early stages of the pandemic. The Detroit automaker joined most global automakers in reporting better-than-expected earnings from July through September as sales across the globe started to rebound from coronavirus lockdowns, especially in China. GM sales in China jumped 12% in the third quarter, with sales of its Buick and Cadillac brands both rising more than 25%. In the U.S., GMÂ’s most profitable market, sales fell 9.9% in the third quarter compared with a year ago, but were a dramatic improvement over the 34% drop in the second quarter. Sales improved sequentially each month, the automaker said, an encouraging trend. GMÂ’s profit was boosted by higher-priced pickup trucks and large SUVs, which have seen strong sales in the U.S. through the pandemic. It was the best quarter on record for GM's Chevrolet Blazer. Sales of the Cadillac XT6 spiked 45% in the U.S. over last year. Large pickups also sold well. GM also said it was pumping $2 billion into its Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing plant to push its transition to produce electric vehicles. Last week, crosstown rivals Fiat Chrysler and Ford reported strong third-quarter net income. FCA said it made $1.4 billion for the period, while Ford earned $2.39 billion.

2014 Cadillac ELR

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Well, this is awkward.
A few years ago, Audi Of America's boss Johan de Nysschen went on record describing the Chevrolet Volt as "a car for idiots." Fast-forward to earlier this summer, and the well-regarded executive suddenly found himself in a new office with new business cards bearing the title: President, Cadillac. That means that among other challenges, de Nysschen is now tasked with selling the ELR, a car that is, at its core, a Volt in a sportier, less utile frock wearing a price tag that's twice as expensive.
Frankly, it's not a prospect we imagine the South African executive and recent Infiniti boss relishes. Just about nobody is buying the ELR - Cadillac has sold but 774 examples of its plug-in hybrid coupe this year and it presently has an almost a 200-day supply according to Automotive News. What's more, those numbers actually represent big improvements over just a few months ago, before GM started heaping on the incentives. The cynic in us says that the bad news for De Nysschen is that he's got a borderline sales-proof car in his new corporate garage. The good news? Cadillac customers apparently aren't idiots.
