Hello Everyone,

I am selling my families 1993 Cadillac Allante Convertible. This has been in the family since 2000 purchased with 9190 Miles and now only has 18,xxx miles on it.

From the best of my understanding this has always been an Allante Club Car and should be well known within the Allante Community. I have paperwork going back to 2000 but documentation before that was lost, but still have the original window sticker.

Original MSRP was $63,570.

All standard options with the optional Chrome Wheels and Pearlcoat Exterior Color.

The hardtop pictured was dealer installed and included with the car, along with the custom cover.

The car is in great condition as a car with 18k miles should be. Has always been stored indoors and currently in a heated garage with a lift.

As the car only has 18k miles I will only explain the only 'flaws' as I am very particular but keep in mind it is currently a show car.

The paint is great (See Pics)

The Convertible Top is literally perfect and was always down. The hardtop is just as good but some of the felt trim under the rear window needs to be reglued

Engine and Trunk are show ready. Right now the AC compressor needs to be replaced but I have included the fix in the price as there are two options R12 or R134 (I have Freon for both) I would let the buyer decide which unit they would prefer to have. As I am a purist I would put the R12 but whoever buys it may want R134 to save on repairs and be environmentally friendly. A new battery was installed last year too.

The chrome wheels are really nice (9 of 10) but could use a polishing as there are some small imperfections when you get close.

Tires are brand new as the old ones were dry rotted.

The interior is about a 9 out of 10 with two minor issues one is the rear view mirror glass is delaminating and needs to be replace and the driver seat bolster is dry/cracked.

The Pics Pretty much say it all. I highly recommend an inspection for anyone who decides to purchase it as I want to ensure you know what you are getting and happy with your purchase as this is SOLD AS IS

This car is AMAZING and not many left like this.

Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction early

Cadillac dealers frustrated over Escalade production snarls

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

Lincoln 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.

Cadillac recalls ELR coupe over stability control problems

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Cadillac is recalling about 656 2014 ELR models made between September 26, 2013 and February 14, 2014, because of a fault with the electronic stability control system. On cars without adaptive cruise control, it's possible that diagnostics could prevent the system from telling the driver if ESC is on or off.
Cadillac has a software fix ready and repairs begin on April 17. Alan Adler, General Motors' recall and legal spokesperson, tells Autoblog that only about 55 of the affected cars are in the hands of owners. The rest are either on dealer lots or still at the factory. There have been no reported injuries or crashes caused by the fault.
The correction for the stability control system involves a software recalibration of the electronic brake control module that takes around 20 minutes to perform. While they use the same platform, the Chevrolet Volt isn't involved in this recall because it "uses a different a brake control module," said Adler.

Cadillac considering more engines, Vsport model for Escalade

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Want to roll in the latest Cadillac Escalade? You can get it with a 6.2-liter V8... or a 6.2-liter V8. Cadillac only offers the one engine option. But that may soon change.
According to the latest from Automotive News, Cadillac is contemplating a couple of new powertrain options for its blingin' big ute. The report suggests a twin-turbo V6 and a V6 turbodiesel could be offered, and that Cadillac could create a Vsport version of the Escalade like it offers on the new CTS sedan.
The more diverse engine offerings would help attract buyers from the new Lincoln Navigator, its prime competitor, which switched from a 5.4-liter V8 this year to a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. The turbo V6 engines (both gasoline and diesel) would also help Cadillac market the Escalade overseas - particularly in Europe, where higher fuel prices preclude the prospect of driving a big V8 SUV for many buyers. Escalade sales have dropped from 35-40k units in the mid-2000s to around 12,000 the past couple of years.
