I am Listing this car here on ebay on behalf of its true owner. He is the third owner, and has been since 1999. The car has been off the road since 2003.
Some of the HISTORY:
This car was purchased new in a dealership in Ft. Myers Florida in 1975. The car was purchased as an investment and stored in a warehouse until 1984. In 1988 This car was sold to the second owner In Garfield New Jersey. The car was purchased at that time with 4,300 Miles. Since then it was utilized until early 1994 and it was parked in storage until 1998 when it was purchased by the third and current registered owner. The car at that point was in need of restoration due to lack of use and being exposed to some elements. in 1999-2000 It was restored with new paint (oem color), and it was brought up to driving conditions. (New fluids, wires, plugs ect.) It was registered and kept in a garage in the owners home. It was taken off the road in 2003 and sat some months inside a garage and some outside the garage. I was contacted by the owner in order to get it ready to be sold last year in 2012. I have had this car in my possession ever since. The owner and I have put a new top on the car (due to 1-2 inch tear on the back of the top) and I have had it in storage on my property for almost a year my garage. (I have a clean clear NJ title) I have driven the car sporadically and have put some work into it while it has been in my possession, I fixed a few minor glitches (electrical) and It received a new convertible top in 2012. The car is ALL ORIGNAL I have not replaced anything besides the top, engine oil, and brakes (rear). It starts runs and drives very well!! Like a cadillac should. The miles on the Cadillac read 12,568. The odometer works, However I do not know if they are supposed to be 12K or 112K. I am told by the owner, it had 8900 when he bought it in 1999. Sorry for any inconvenience! They are believed to be true miles however I cannot verify!!

Cadillac rushing update for laggy CUE infotainment system
Tue, 05 Feb 2013BMW's innovative iDrive was introduced in 2001, and a dozen years later, automakers are still learning hard lessons about what consumers want in their infotainment systems. In response to owner feedback - and a few media drubbings - about the delayed and occasionally fickle responses of its CUE (short for Cadillac User Experience) system, Cadillac has told Wired that it's going to issue an update this year.
Coming for the XTS and ATS, the new software will mean quicker haptic feedback to driver inputs on the touchscreen and the buttons, and snappier responses on screen. Down the road, Cadillac's VP of marketing says that a different mix of screen controls and hard buttons is "something you'll be seeing in the future" - the system is presently a mix of touchscreen-based controls and capacitive-touch switchgear - there are no knobs or physical pushbuttons to speak of, and the omission of both has proven to be a divisive issue among consumers and industry pundits.
Cadillac hasn't provided a date for when the CUE update will be issued, but it has indicated that the service will be performed by dealers, not sent wirelessly.
Cadillac planning its own engines, halo cars
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Cadillac is in the midst of some big changes. It's got a new chief executive. It's taking some distance from parent company General Motors and moving to a new headquarters in New York. And it's instituting a new naming scheme that will allow not only for a more clear progression in its lineup, but also for more models. But that's not the end of the story. Not by a long shot.
Speaking with Automobile magazine, Cadillac's new president Johan de Nysschen revealed his intention to develop several new models and powertrains. For starters, he does not want Cadillac to continue borrowing engines from the GM parts bin, but intends to develop a new range of engines specifically for the luxury automaker. The program will likely start with smaller-capacity engines but eventually lead to new V8s as well, taking the place of the long-serving Northstar engine that finally ended its lifespan a few years ago after some two decades of production. Along with other technologies, de Nysschen envisions possibly sharing these powertrains with other GM divisions, but developing them first and foremost for Cadillac.
The bigger question, however, is where those engines would go, and de Nysschen had some thoughts to share on that front as well. For starters, the former Infiniti and Audi exec sees room for an even bigger sedan above the upcoming new CT6 that will cap the current range. Maybe even two of them. But that's not all. Johan wants to see Cadillac get (back) into the sports car game with a new halo model or two - something it hasn't really done since the Corvette-based XLR roadster. A pair of new crossovers are also said to be in the works, flanking the SRX on both sides with smaller and larger models.
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
