1999 Cadillac Eldorado on 2040-cars
Caldwell, Ohio, United States
|
This is a 1999 Cadillac Eldorado. The body is in good condition. I will begin by explaining the good things about this car then I will tell the bad things. The original engine/drive train was removed a year ago, the engine began overheating. I was facing either getting rid of it for a couple hundred dollars or repairing it. I found a car locally that was in the midst of an estate settlement. It was another 99 Cadillac that was owned by an elderly man that never permitted anyone to drive it. The car was dismantled because of no clear title. The entire drive train was switched. Transmission, axles, engine, struts, etc. This engine had 96,000 miles on it. The oil was clean. A local mechanic did the switch. The body has about 225,000 miles on it and given the condition I decided to fix it.
With the cost of the drive train and to have it switched cost about $2600.
The rear shocks were replaced a couple years ago. All new brake lines, one brake caliper, master cylinder and water pump. Air conditioning work. This amounted to another $700.
The engine runs smooth with no knocks or other noises, does not burn oil. It has extremely fast acceleration. The North Star Engine is strong. It cruises along nicely. It starts easily. The heated leather seats during cold months are very nice.
The bad. This car is going on 15 years old. The chassis has 220,000 miles on it. You should not expect this car to be like a new $50,000 Cadillac. Although the body is in good condition there are some details that need attention. The front bumper does not fit perfectly and the little trim pieces on the bumpers are loose. A rear brake lens is cracked. There are dings and small scratches. The air conditioner was charged last June and within a few weeks it lost its charge. The sun roof does not work well. There are dash light notifications showing anti lock brakes and occasional other messages. Purchase this car with the idea that the anti lock brake system may or may not be working. Other dash light notices do not seem to affect the running or driving of this car.
The pictures give a good idea of the condition. BUT I have found that often the pictures do make a car look a little better than the condition you will find in person. So, I want to be clear about what you will find if you buy this car. I would answer any questions. I want to make every effort to describe this car accurately to complete a transaction where the buyer and I am satisfied while maintaining my 100% positive feedback. Area code 740 my exchange is 581 and last 4 digits is 0114. We have a clear Ohio Title, it is located at zip 43724, I may be able to assist with delivery or shipping.

Cadillac reveals stretched ATS-L in China
Tue, 29 Jul 2014In the market for a new Cadillac, but need more space than an ATS can afford? Then you'll want to look at the larger CTS. Unless you live in China, where buyers - often chauffeured instead of driving themselves - seem to prefer a long-wheelbase version of a smaller sedan than upgrading to a larger one. For those buyers, Cadillac has released the new ATS-L.
Based on the existing ATS sports sedan, the ATS-L offers an extra 3.3 inches of rear legroom over the model we get here. As a result, the ATS-L stretches its wheelbase to 112.5 inches and its overall length to 186 inches, while riding a quarter-inch lower than the standard-wheelbase model, which itself was recently updated. That places its length in between the regular ATS and the CTS available Stateside.
Otherwise it's essentially the same sedan, but appears to ditch the base 2.0-liter four to offer either the 2.0-liter turbo four or 3.6-liter V6. Of course this model, produced locally for the Chinese market, isn't likely to make the transpacific voyage to US showrooms, so American buyers will still have to choose between the standard ATS, the larger CTS or the even larger XTS.
Cadillac Elmiraj Concept slinks in Leno's Garage
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Jay Leno's Garage has moved to Pebble Beach for the week. This time around, the affable comedian is taking a look at the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept that debuted during the Monterey car week, and is talking to General Motors vice president of global design, Ed Welburn.
There's plenty of reminiscing about what concept cars were like when these two were kids, before a fairly deep dive into the striking Elmiraj Concept itself. Welburn shares a few anecdotes about the design process behind the two-door concept, including how his designers changed his mind on the grille design.
After bringing up the Cimarron, Leno makes a solid point that the Elmiraj would be a solid production car that could even spawn a four-door variant. We couldn't agree more. Take a look below for the full video from Jay Leno's Garage.
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.
