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

First Cadillac ELR rolls off the line
Thu, 30 May 2013Gearing up for the Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, General Motors invited some of the Chevrolet and Cadillac racecar drivers out to its Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. While there, the racers - including IndyCar Driver and Chevrolet Volt owner, Simona De Silvestro - witnessed the very first 2014 Cadillac ELR to roll off the assembly line.
These vehicles are not destined for customers, however, but instead pre-production units will be used by engineers for testing purposes. Actual production of ELR consumer models is expected to commence closer to the end of this year. As a refresher, this range-extended electric Cadillac shares much of its powertrain with the Volt but will have a sportier coupe design inspired by the Converj Concept. De Silvestro manged to snap a few images of here own, which you can see in the gallery below.
Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards
Fri, 18 Jan 2013This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
GM CEO Akerson calls out Tesla, says Cadillac will compete on EVs
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Cadillac will be taking on Tesla Motors, the underdog EV manufacturer that's seen heaps of critical acclaim and stock market buzz with its most recent sedan, the Model S. "If you want to compete head-to-head with Tesla, and we ultimately will, you want to do it with a Cadillac," Dan Akerson, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, told media in Washington, according to The Detroit News.
Akerson continued, telling The News, "We'll sell more Volts and lose less money on the Volts than they'll lose on the Model S." He also took time to point out that Tesla getting vehicles out to customers isn't a guarantee of success or permanence, using Fisker as an example, saying "Does anybody even remember Fisker? I mean, there were a number of them; they are all gone."
This strong talk from Akerson comes after Doug Parks, another GM exec, let slip that the Detroit-based manufacturer has an EV in the works that will cover 200 miles per charge and only cost about $30,000, a massive upgrade over similarly priced EVs that struggle to top 100 miles per charge. Until that vehicle arrives, though, GM is preparing the Cadillac ELR, a small coupe that, like the Volt with which it shares technology, uses a gas engine as a mobile generator to recharge the batteries. Akerson took aim at Tesla again, saying, "But I do think when the ELR comes out late this year, early next - it's certainly the same postal code as Tesla, but now we're going to move up. It's not going to be a mass-produced car."
