Hello Everyone,

I am selling my families 1993 Cadillac Allante Convertible. This has been in the family since 2000 purchased with 9190 Miles and now only has 18,xxx miles on it.

From the best of my understanding this has always been an Allante Club Car and should be well known within the Allante Community. I have paperwork going back to 2000 but documentation before that was lost, but still have the original window sticker.

Original MSRP was $63,570.

All standard options with the optional Chrome Wheels and Pearlcoat Exterior Color.

The hardtop pictured was dealer installed and included with the car, along with the custom cover.

The car is in great condition as a car with 18k miles should be. Has always been stored indoors and currently in a heated garage with a lift.

As the car only has 18k miles I will only explain the only 'flaws' as I am very particular but keep in mind it is currently a show car.

The paint is great (See Pics)

The Convertible Top is literally perfect and was always down. The hardtop is just as good but some of the felt trim under the rear window needs to be reglued

Engine and Trunk are show ready. Right now the AC compressor needs to be replaced but I have included the fix in the price as there are two options R12 or R134 (I have Freon for both) I would let the buyer decide which unit they would prefer to have. As I am a purist I would put the R12 but whoever buys it may want R134 to save on repairs and be environmentally friendly. A new battery was installed last year too.

The chrome wheels are really nice (9 of 10) but could use a polishing as there are some small imperfections when you get close.

Tires are brand new as the old ones were dry rotted.

The interior is about a 9 out of 10 with two minor issues one is the rear view mirror glass is delaminating and needs to be replace and the driver seat bolster is dry/cracked.

The Pics Pretty much say it all. I highly recommend an inspection for anyone who decides to purchase it as I want to ensure you know what you are getting and happy with your purchase as this is SOLD AS IS

This car is AMAZING and not many left like this.

Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction early

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

2015 Cadillac Escalade

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

I have never liked traveling to Monterey, CA. The picturesque coastal city is about 300 miles from my home in Los Angeles, which means cramped and uncomfortable regional aircraft are part of the equation when the turnaround is only one night. Over the years, I have cursed the LA Basin's bumper-to-bumper traffic en route to the airport, argued with TSA personnel over carry-on baggage and waited countless hours for the fog to lift just for the anguish of being packed into a small regional jet for the flight. Of course, the process repeats on the trip home with equal misery.
Yet this time I am not suffering.
Cadillac has dropped its all-new 2015 Escalade in my driveway. Instead of battling city congestion, attempting to reason with misinformed government agents, snacking on a too-small bag of pretzels and physically rubbing shoulders with a dubious stranger for 90-plus minutes within the confines of a bumpy aircraft, I have chosen to forgo air travel and drive myself door-to-door in a fullsize luxury sport utility vehicle.

Cadillac issues stop-sale on recalled CTS, SRX

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

General Motors has issued a stop-sale order on the Cadillac CTS and SRX, both of which were recalled late last month. Why the stop-sale after all this time? Well, um, GM apparently doesn't know how to fix them.
The stop-sale covers all used Cadillac CTS sedans, coupes and wagons from model years 2003 to 2013, as well as new 2014 coupes and wagons. The SRX crossover stop-sale, meanwhile, only covers used vehicles from model years 2004 to 2006.
Automotive News reached out to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, who told the news pub that the company's engineers were "looking at one common solution" for the affected vehicles, although "they don't have it yet."
