1996 Cadillac Deville Base Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
North Babylon, New York, United States
|
Up for auction is a beautiful 1996 Cadillac DeVille. I am selling this for my parents. They have owned it for around 5 years and have had the car serviced and maintained as required, including the replacement of certain parts. They bought it as a second car but now my dad does not drive as much these days so they only need one car.
This car in this color really stands out. You just don't see many in this color and it has the older, more sought- after Cadillac styling, before they went with the angular styling. Car has plenty of power and the transmission shifts smoothly as if it were new, and the passing gear will really put you back in your seat for a large vehicle. All of the features in this car work, all of the dashboard diagnostic information works. Air Conditioning and heat work excellent as do all the power seats, window, and electric trunk pull down. AC was serviced and the large part in the firewall was replaced (I think it is the condenser). This was a labor intensive job that you don't have to worry about. Also serviced were the brakes and some brake lines were replaced. The alternator was replaced and the tires are in excellent condition. One of them is a blackwall because that particular tire got a flat and they did not have the thin whitewall style in stock. So that is a new blackwall tire and the other three are fairly new whitewalls under three years old with less than 5,000 miles on them in my estimation. Body has no rust and underneath is solid too. Car was garaged so that may be why the body is in such good shape. Owners do not smoke. Interior smells nice, not musty or anything like that. See pictures for rest of the description. Look at the condition of this car. The body and undercarriage seem to defy aging. The body is not perfect and has a few dings, and almost unnoticeable scratches here and there from normal use. There is a mark on the cloth top that I did not try to remove for fear of the color running. Headliner is nice and there is no water leakage inside the vehicle. Car is very quiet inside and glass is perfect. Stereo and cassette player work, though some speakers should be replaced due to their age. I believe this car to have cruise control (I checked that feature in the auction listing) but I am not 100% sure. If it does, I don't think we ever used it. This car likes to be piloted. Issues: This car is my parents' car. It has 82,000 miles on it and runs, looks, and drives great. Just this winter it started leaking a little oil(after sitting for a while since they don't use it in the snow and we've had a lot of snow) which is common for the Northstar engine. I dried the bottom of the motor a few weeks ago and it only dripped a few drops since. Also, if the car is not used for a while, the battery sometimes loses charge (common for these cars and can be easily remedied). The latter is an easy fix and I was going to fix it for them but now they are selling it so the next owner can fix it if desired. The oil leak could be costly (or not) but does not have to be addressed now whatsoever. This car can be used as a regular driver in the condition it is in right now. I have driven it from time to time and it is so comfortable and fun to drive. With the large interior, all occupants are comfortable, unlike some of today's so-called luxury cars that skimp on space. The rear auto leveling works as is should too. Note: Contents in trunk are not part of the auction. I left them in there so you can see how much it holds. If you want to see the car in person, email me and I will coordinate a visit with my parents. Any questions you may have, I will do my best to answer them. If I don't know the answer I will ask may folks and then email you back so I may need a day to get back to you but I will do my best. Note: CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AS WELL. SO IF IT SELLS LOCALLY, I WILL END THE AUCTION DUE TO THE CAR BEING SOLD LOCALLY. Bid with Confidence as I have 100% feedback. Buyer sends $400.00 deposit via Paypal only and is responsible for picking up vehicle or making arrangements for vehicle to be picked up after full payment has cleared. Vehicle will not be released until full payment is received and clears. Car is in 11703 location. Car is sold as-is due to age. There is no warranty on this vehicle. |

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
Cadillac issues stop-sale on recalled CTS, SRX
Mon, 21 Jul 2014General 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."
Cadillac dealers frustrated over Escalade production snarls
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Lincoln went through it during the launch of the MKZ last year, Jeep went through something similar with its Cherokee launch, and now the 2015 Cadillac Escalade has apparently caught the bug: dealer delivery delays because of quality control checks. Automotive News reports that Cadillac dealers have been waiting three times longer than usual - a month or more - from the time an Escalade leaves the assembly line to when it gets delivered. Worse, dealers are saying they don't always know where their vehicles are in transit, or when they are set to arrive. The situation has upset customers who have put down deposits and things have gotten so bad that some dealers have reportedly stopped taking pre-orders.
Cadillac says it has the delay, called "dwell time," down to two weeks, and it expects to cut that to a week by the beginning of September. The company said "a lengthy quality-assurance process on some interior parts" has caused the lag, the report citing additional issues with figuring out which vehicles should be delivered first. A spokesman said that more trucks have been put in the distribution system to work through the backlog, but it's clear it's still going to take some time to set things right, with one dealer telling AN that cars ordered in February and March still haven't arrived.
Brand chief Kurt McNeil said additional personnel are at the Escalade's Arlington, Texas factory to speed up the checks, and spreadsheets tracking every order have been distributed to field staff. Even with the snafu, though, the Escalade is Cadillac's best seller through July.
