Up for sale I have a 1987 Fleetwood FWD. It is white on white with red interior accents such as the dash and carpet. The vehicle runs and drives great and has been used daily up until the end of May when the registration expired. Rather than renew the registration we are pursuing a smaller vehicle that will provide my wife with better gas mileage for her 50 mile daily trip to work and back It made a great winter vehicle for her and has been run daily for the last 2 years. Current mileage is 241,000 on the 4.1 liter V8. So now for the good and the bad
first:
The Good,
1. New front and rear brakes within the last year including rotors, pads, drums, shoes and calipers
2. Rear Air Shocks replaced about a year and a half ago
3. New radiator installed within last year
4. Three year old Die Hard battery
5. Updated 16" factory Cadillac rims with recent tires that have at least 75% tread left
6. Many of the interior pieces have been updated / replaced
Have reciepts for all work that was done and parts replaced
The Not so Good,
1. will need a new front drivers side shock at some point currently rides a little firm
2. exhaust is a little loud not immediate but may need work done in a year or so
3. passenger side front window is inoperable - just stopped working one day during the winter and never looked into it (window is up) may be a switch fuse or loose connection other windows are slow but work fine
4. A/C works but needs a recharge - I can add Freon for the new buyer if they provide the cans, it has been converted to R-134a.
5. Headliner is sagging and there is surface rust and some undercarriage rust - she's not a looker but she will get you where you want to go
Other items of note:
Car comes with a factory Cadillac service manual and the original 14" wire hubcaps that came with the car. Front seats were replaced with a matching set out of a Deville, I have the original set if the buyer is interested. Drivers seat was ripped.
Car is worth $500.00 at the local recycle yard so please no low balls. Reasonable offers only please!
If you have under 10 positive feedback please contact me before making an offer, local pick up only in Leicester MA any shipping is the responsibilty of the buyer. Vehicle is sold as is and as described.

Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who also spent time as the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.
"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."
"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."
Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
Cadillac to recall 20,000 SRX models over wheels that could fall off
Thu, 23 May 2013A potential issue with the lug nuts on 19,871 units of the 2013 Cadillac SRX in the US and Canada has lead to a recall of the luxury crossover. Those lug nuts that have a Teflon topcoat, identified by their bluish tint, could loosen and cause "creaking, rattling or grinding noises or steering vibrations." In the worst case scenario, a wheel could fall off, but there have been no reports of that happening, nor any reports of accidents or injuries due to the issue.
This is the second recall action on the SRX over the last few months. In March, Cadillac recalled 27,000 SRX models over a transmission programming issue. General Motors will begin notifying customers with the potentially faulty parts on June 3, at which time they can take their vehicles to dealers to have the tires rotated and new nuts installed. A further 7,397 SRXs exported from North America also face the recall action.
