1984 Cadillac Seville Elegante Sedan 4-door 4.1l on 2040-cars

This has always been my dream car and it has been babied since I have owned it.  It has gone from the garage to the golf course and back. Never used as a commuter. I never parked next to other cars.  The trim and body condition are exceptionally clean and devoid of excess pit marks or door dings.  Fairly new Toyo tires as shown in photo.  Some leather wear on the driver's seat, but all other areas are really clean.  The trunk and hood don't stay up by themselves without a support. Stereo works but it's iffy.  It was beautifully re-painted in 2005.  

Here is a copy of the original ebay auction description from the people I purchased the car from.

EBAY:1984 Cadillac Seville Gorgeous first Offering - Luxury

1984 Cadillac Seville. First time on the market!  All original, car owned by my mother-in-law, Bird.  She ordered every option that existed on this top of the line Seville in 1984 and it was garaged and maintained to the inth degree as you can see.  Look at the options on the original window sticker: the car sold for $26,172 in 1984, the year with all the truly luxury options, $895 Bose AM/FM Cassette sound system, knock your socks off, 4 wheel disk brakes, super, 6-way passenger seat, pure luxury.  Buttons and Leather abound.

Five years ago, Bird moved to Leisure World, Laguna Woods, CA and at her age she decided to get a smaller car.  I couldn't stand to let the dealer have it, so since it was so gorgeous and with a known history and low mileage, I decided to keep it myself as a third car for us, and as an investment.  I continued to garage the car until recently, because I am purchasing a new car that needs that garage spot.  We know what we have here in this car, and have decided to post the listing on ebay motors to offer this very one-of-a-kind 1984 Elegante to the public

Two years ago I drove the Seville from Marina del Rey, CA, to Phoenix and was starting to wonder, when after driving 290 miles, the gas gauge was showing little movement.  When I stopped for gas, I was flabbergasted when the tank only took 10 gallons of gas.  On the freeway, I had gotten 29 miles per gallon.  Indeed the car computer on the dash had been displaying "30" throughout most of the trip, and I was wondering why.  Pretty amazing for the size and structure of this truly beautiful car, pretty much like it rolled off the assembly line in 1984.

I have loved and personally maintained the car, replaced the headliner 5 years ago, replaced the master cylinder and flushed out the brake lines last year, replaced the automatic trunk pull-down and also have a spare, and I replaced the ECM with one I bought directly from Cadillac, I figured that the least I could do is give her a new brain.  With 92,000 miles, it is just starting to reach Cadillac adulthood.

A month ago, I was driving the car to give it some exercise (which I religiously do every Sunday, Stopped for traffic, went to continue, hit the gas and it refused to move, engine ran perfectly, but the wheels did not go around.  Through a great friend I got the name of a trustly transmission shop, had the car flatbedded over, and he installed a replacement transmission, one that works better than the original one.  G & V Transmissions owner said we have an amazing great car here - appearance and driveability.  I have driven the newly installed transmission a hundred miles, putting it through its paces and things are better than ever.  Engine runs like new, emission tests always pass with flying colors, currently have CA tags until May.  Bird's daughter even gave it a test drive this morning and it drove so solidly (and she IS a car connoiseur) that she is hesitant to put it up for auction but we need the garage space for the new car.  Julie is ebay handle BIDINMDR - check out her 100% feedback rating.

This vehicle can be driven anywhere with great pride.  As Julie says, it would be appropriate for arriving at the Academy Awards show and stepping out onto the red carpet.  A real Classic.  This Seville paint is checked on the top surfaces primarily because the car never has never had any paint or body work, it is original.  Amazing what happens when you garage a car for its life and live in Southern CA, leather is incredibly good, no one every abused the car (because as Julie says, Bird would not have allowed it!).  It was always proactively maintained.  Engine is HT 4100 V-8 digital fuel injection.  Transmission is the automatic with 4 speeds, shifts smoothly, 3,000 miles on tires, and the paint is weather checked, which shows no signs of repaint, repair because my Mother-In-Law is a great driver and,exactly like my wife, requires her vehicle to look and work perfect.  The interior of the car is almost like new with no cracks in the dashboard, (amazing) or the door panels, it is like being in your living room, or better.  Battery is Auto Zone 7 year battery, with 11 interior lights and 5 vehicle adapter locations.  (When we acquired it, we were amazed at FIVE (count-em 5!) sets of burled wood ligher/ashtrays.  That is one for each passenger!  No joke!  And this was a no smoking car!  All doors and power windows are working well, Remember that this car is 20 year old, and has cracks on the filler (rubber trim) between the trunk and the bumper, but I will put this car against any '84 Cadillac Seville - anywhere (because nobody could have babied a car more than Bird did!)  Look closely at the orinal window sticker - and also notice the congratulatory letter written to Bird's husband (as he purchased it for a gift for her) and the GOLD KEYS that came along with it, hence the Goldkey letterhead.  The car was purchased at Martin Cadillac here is W.LA, the same dealership where I purchased the ECM.
