Cadillac Deville 88 Sedan Needs Repair on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
This was my mother's car, Rose color, and she treated it like a baby. Mechanically, the head gasket is blown. It does have a new radiator, thermostat - the mechanic didn't properly detect the problem contributing to the car overheating and the gasket blew after I had already put $750 in it - don't want to put any more money into it. I paid $1700 to have the air conditioner fixed about 4 years ago, and now it doesn't work - of course, the mechanic is nowhere to be found. The interior is beautiful - cloth interior; some fabric separation on the visor's but otherwise great. There are stains on the floor mat and floor, seats are beautiful. Dash has no cracks (see pic), just needs a bit of Armoral. There are a couple cracks around the steering wheel.... The driver's armrest is torn (see pic), but I have a plastic cover that goes over it, just haven't installed. The paint isn't too bad, the sides are still shiney - the hood and top can be shined up - the trunk has a couple spots where the clearcoat is starting to flake. I tried to fix one of the spots and bore down too hard, a quarter-sized spot. The clearcoat is pealing on the non metalic areas (see pic). The radio antenna is disengaged cause it wouldn't turn off. Some of the alerts don't work on the dash, like the horn - the blinkers work, so I'm not sure what the issue is. The tires are in great shape.
That's all I can think of now - please ask questions if I have left something out. Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping - it must be gone from here by Aug 8th as I am moving. Thanks for looking ! |

Cadillac's Butler announces surprise departure
Mon, 05 Aug 2013The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Cadillac's vice president of global strategic development, Don Butler, has resigned. Butler has held the position since April, after a term as vice president of US marketing for General Motor's luxury brand.
As the report explains, the timing here is pretty unfortunate for Cadillac. Butler is the third high-profile member of Cadillac's brass to depart in recent months, following the firing of US sales boss Chase Hawkins and the pending departure of Susan Docherty. Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell told the Detroit paper, "Bob [Ferguson]," global boss for Cadillac, "and other leaders asked him to stay on. Don's here in the office today - and told our team that his decision is purely on a personal level. After three years of putting everything into Cadillac, he is stepping away for some personal time, and to consider new avenues in his life."
Butler says his decision is part of a decision to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities." Whatever the reason, it's an unpleasant surprise for Cadillac, which has been on a surge in 2013, with 30-percent jump in sales on the heels of the hot-selling ATS.
Cadillac LTS flagship to bow at NY Auto Show
Wed, 06 Aug 2014There is widespread agreement across the industry that Cadillac needs a proper, rear-drive flagship sedan that completes legitimately with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series.
Fortunately, the same view is held within the company, and just such a car - possibly dubbed LTS - is under development. According to a high-level source at Cadillac, the new four-door, which is said to incorporate design cues from the marque's celebrated Elmiraj coupe concept, will debut at the New York Auto Show next April.
If the car needs a cheerleader, surely incoming president Johan de Nysschen is just such a person. De Nysschen doesn't arrive at Cadillac until late in the month, but certainly he will want a proper flagship to do battle with his old foes at Mercedes-Benz and BMW and old friends at Audi and Infiniti.
Cadillac scraps three-row CUV plans
Fri, 23 May 2014Crossovers are one of the hottest automotive segments on the planet. Apparently, the idea of mixing the practicality of a station wagon with the looks of an SUV appeals to people whether they are in Cleveland or Shanghai because nearly every automaker is jumping into the market. So it was no surprise when early rumors suggested Cadillac was planning two, new CUVs to fit above and below the SRX. But things might have changed since then.
New rumblings indicate Caddy is taking a different route. Instead of two crossovers, only the compact is on the way, and the larger, three-row CUV on the Lambda platform to sit between the SRX and Escalade may be a goner. According to Ward's Auto, General Motors thinks that the other three-row, Lambda vehicles like the Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia compete too closely with the proposed Cadillac. The decision comes fairly close to the 2017 intended production date.
As far back as 2010, this Lambda-platform based CUV was considered highly likely for production. However, Cadillac Senior Vice President Bob Ferguson was somewhat cooler about it when he discussed the new crossover briefly last year. He said the model could use the Escalade name, despite its unibody chassis, but no decision had been made yet to actually produce it.
