97 with under 23,000 miles.  Classic late model Caddy with that wonderful floating ride.  This car is in awesome shape with no accidents or paint work, no mechanical problems and maintenance is up to date.  Every component you would use to judge milage looks like a 22k mile car.  Nothing to be concerned with.  Clean car fax report and I have been all over this car and found no sign of body paint or damage.  I'm the second actual owner.  Original owner had it in his family and transferred it a couple times and finally to his nephew who didn't drive it and then sold it to me.  The car was constantly garaged in New York.  No surprises.  I have purchased a couple cars on ebay for personal use and if you get this one, you will not be disappointed and will have made a great decision.

Paint is wonderful and shiny. 
Brand new high end, BF Goodrich tires. 
New brake disc all around, new brake pads. 
Just changed the motor oil again.
Flushed the power steering fluid.
Cooling system was drained and completely flushed through the heater core and engine block.
New heater core. I was concerned with the possibility of corrosion due to the systems age and problems with GM lifetime fluid. Core was in perfect shape with zero issues. I still have the old unit to show you.
High grade window tint including a brow for the front one. 
Burns no oil.

Interior is in excellent condition and the seats show little use.  Carpet like new with the original floor mats in place (as seen in the photos).  Never smoked in and still smells like leather.

Standard list of options plus self leveling rear air suspension.  A 275 hp Norstar V-8, in a front wheel drive with traction control configuration, is under the hood.  This is a very dependable and strong motor meant to be driven hard.  She is fast but can still run on regular gas, I use premium.  Milage is 17 in city and up to 32 on the highway.  Air and heat are top notch.  No chips in the windshield.  No door dings but a couple minor scuffs commensurate with age but hardly noticeable.  No trunk leaks or surface rust. All interior and exterior lights work.  Head lights are glass which is wonderful.  No plastic clouding here!  Never used spare tire.

Color is Silvermist metallic.  It appears a misty green in the sun but silver in low light, very unique color.  Interior is a shale or light green, again very nice looking.

The car has a really wonderful, mellow rumble from the dual exhaust and quad tips.  The rear end view is that of the long vertical, slashing tail lamps that say Cadillac.  The car is long and low, very, very comfortable on those long freeway trips.

No issue with the car and I wouldn't hesitate to sell to my next door neighbor or a family member.  I had intended to give this to my daughter for college but it's way too nice. Where can you get a rock solid car with these retro looks for such a great price?  Keep in mind the car has been garaged, rarely driven and not abused.


This has to go to make room for a trailer (in my garage).

2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Bridging The Gap With Power And Poise
As you read these words, West Coast Editor Michael Harley is preparing to drive the brand-new 2014 Cadillac CTS along the gorgeous, sun-drenched roads of Southern California. And while I'll wait for Harley's full report before I put words in his mouth, I'm willing to bet he enjoys the hell out of Cadillac's new CTS. In fact, I'm sure of it.
I say this with confidence because, about a month ago, I spent the better part of a day flogging the new CTS Vsport around the 2.9-mile Milford Road Course - a challenging circuit laid out in the infield of an oval test track at GM's proving grounds in southeast Michigan. The MRC was built about a decade ago after Bob Lutz was lured out of retirement to work closely with GM's product development team, and thus, this circuit is known informally as the "Lutz Ring." The main objective of the MRC was to have an in-house facility for engineers to fine-tune vehicle dynamics, without having to constantly schlep cars over to Germany's infamous Nürburgring. (Of course, they still do.)

Cadillac flagship, possible production Elimiraj, caught testing

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

One of the biggest debuts at the Monterey car week, both literally and figuratively, was the Cadillac Elmiraj Concept. The massive coupe made quite a splash with the show's well-heeled guests. Now, we have what might be the very first images of the Elmiraj, or whatever it may be called when it reaches production, out testing.
Don't let that modified Chevrolet Caprice body fool you, this car is about four to six inches longer than Chevy's US-spec cop car, from the A-pillar forward. According to our spy, with the Caprice at 203 inches and the concept at 205, adding a few extra inches here and there fits the bill for the four-door Elmiraj that was hinted at in Jay Leno's Garage.
There are a number of other classic mule signs on this car, including a cover over the fuel door and heavily modified front and rear fascias, each of which serves to hide some significant change from the standard Caprice. Using a Caprice for development also, hopefully, hints at something that big Cadillacs like the XTS have lacked - rear-wheel drive.

Online Find Of The Day: 2008 Cadillac XLR picks up where Excalibur left off

Thu, 23 May 2013

We try very, very hard to keep snark away from creations like the one you see here. After all, someone poured plenty of enthusiasm, time and money into turning a 2008 Cadillac XLR into a modern interpretation of the new-old cars typically done by cottage builders like Excalibur and Clénet. Even so, it's hard not to wince when you set an eye on this machine. With its wheelbase stretched to accommodate the extra bodywork, goofy sidewalls and upkicked nose (examine it in profile, it looks slightly bent in the middle), this "neoclassic" takes whatever was loveable about the Cadillac underneath and buries it in a tacky grave.
Miraculously, the engine bay has been left unmolested, which means the retractable hardtop convertible still features a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine good for 320 horsepower. If only that were enough to outrun its shame. If, for some reason, you feel like taking this thing home, Harry Kaufmann Motorcars of Milwaukee says it can be yours for a paltry $74,998. We wish were joking. Check it out here.
