1998 Cadillac Deville D'elegance Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:65991

Stuttgart, Arkansas, United States

Stuttgart, Arkansas, United States

This 1998 Cadillac DeVille D'Elegance is from the estate of a lifelong friend who passed away in January 2014.  Purchased brand new in late 1997 from the local Cadillac dealer, this one-owner beauty has been meticulously maintained by the same owner and same dealer since new.  It is a non-smoker car that has been garage kept its entire life, and it shows.  When I pulled it out of the garage, I rinsed the light dust off of it and that's all I did.  She was so particular about her car that she has rubber mats over the carpeted mats.  The interior is immaculate.  Close inspection shows some very slight wear on the driver's seat bolsters (outside edge) from getting in and out, but you've got to look close.  There is no interior odor and, again, I didn't touch the interior prior to taking the photos.  

On the outside, it's unbelievable for a '98 model car.  There are a few slight pecks and dings, but hardly noticeable.  That's the beauty of a White car.  Curiously, the thin bright silver trim that circles the car within the side molding has some spots on some of the pieces, most noticeable on the left rear door, but I really don't think it's a distraction to the otherwise stunning appearance.  The Michelin tires look nearly brand new and the thin White stripe really sets off the dazzling chrome aluminum wheels.  Unlike the faux chrome wheels that automakers use today, these are genuine chromed aluminum wheels, exclusive to the d'Elegance model, and none have any curb damage.

Mechanically, it starts and runs perfectly.  The battery looks fairly new, but I can't be sure how old it is.  I only drove it a few miles, but checked everything out that I could.  The HVAC system operates great, all of the instrumentation is bright and functioning properly, the radio and CD player sound beautiful.  I didn't have a cassette to try, however, but would guess it works fine, too.  The d'Elegance model has rear seat sun visors and I did notice that the vanity mirror light didn't work on the left rear one.

There could be other things wrong with the car, as would be the case with any used vehicle, but you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer 1998 model car of any description, in my opinion.  Automakers don't make roomy, great riding, comfortable cars like these anymore.  For the money, this is a lot of car!

Of course, it is being sold As Is, Without Warranty.  Buyer assumes all risks.  It is impossible to know everything about a used car, or what might happen to it in the future, but from what I know about this one, who owned it, and how it was taken care of, I would not hesitate to load my family in it and go anywhere.

You are welcome to have it inspected by anyone you choose.  It has a clear, open title.  The title shows the previous title number to be the MSO.  The title was issued on 12/04/1997 and it had 89 miles on the odometer.  It has all of the original owner's manuals and glove box materials.  It has the two original ignition keys (one gold) with built in chip and several door keys (one gold).  It has one remote fob, and it works fine (the family could only find one fob).

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I would like to be paid within 3 days of auction close.   Cash,  cashiers check or wire transfer preferred.  Buyer is responsible to pick up the car.  It is located in Stuttgart, Arkansas 72160.

Thanks so much for looking!

2015 Cadillac ATS sedan gets early reveal in making-of video

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Cadillac is apparently preparing to roll out a minor facelift for the ATS sedan - which we know not because General Motors has already revealed it or because we're looking at it in a fresh batch of spy shots (though we've seen that too), but because a behind-the-scenes video from the filming of its commercial has leaked out online. Which may be bad news for Cadillac, and even worse news for the film production company, but good news for us, because we get to see it ahead of schedule.
The revised sports sedan seems to be sporting a new front bumper and less egg-cratey grille with Caddy's new wreath-less badge at its center, all apparently put in place to bring the sedan more in line with the new ATS coupe.
We're sure Cadillac will be revealing the updated 2015 ATS sedan shortly, but you can scope it out right now in the video below. By way of comparison, we've included an image gallery of the current ATS, released back in 2013, as well.

Cadillac planning more Vsport models

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

There's a new intermediate class of luxury performance cars emerging. Audi has been doing it for years with its S-line bridging the gap, in many cases, between the standard fare and the full-on RS performance range. BMW's getting in on it with the M Sport line slotting in below the full M models. And now Cadillac is joining the fun with its Vsport offerings.
Models like the CTS Vsport and XTS Vsport are packing a new 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 410 or more horsepower (along with bigger wheels and brakes) to slot in between the standard model and any impending V variant. Well, it appears Cadillac isn't about to stop there.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Cadillac product chief Hampden Tener revealed that, based on the response to the XTS Vsport, the brand is planning more Vsport models. He did not, however, indicate which would be the next to get the slightly sportier treatment. With the full ATS-V expected to pack a version of the same engine powering the aforementioned XTS and CTS Vsport models, an ATS Vsport would have to pack a smaller engine to fit in below. That only leaves the SRX crossover, Escalade SUV and the upcoming ELR hybrid. Food for thought.

Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS [w/videos]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

The 2014 CTS will break cover next week at the New York Auto Show, but Cadillac has released a few details of what we can expect to find under the car's hood. As we saw in some spy shots back in January, the biggest news for the midsize Caddy will be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a whopping 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
This LF3 engine will be paired to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, which will help balance performance and fuel economy. We still don't know how much the 2014 CTS has grown in terms of size and weight, but General Motors says that new sedan will return 17 miles per gallon in the city and 25 mpg highway with the new engine to go with a 0-60 mile per hour time of 4.6 seconds - that means the new CTS will have the fuel economy close to the current base model sedan and acceleration not too far from the current CTS-V. General Motors also confirmed that this twin-turbo V6 will be available in the 2014 XTS this fall.
The next-generation CTS will carry over the 3.6-liter V6 from the current car (likely as a base engine) and also add the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder from the ATS. Check out all the details on this new engine and watch a few videos (including GM's nifty tilt rig) by scrolling below.
