SuperSix gets a new ride!
« on: October 13 2005, 11:16:01 PM »
I've been eyeing this car for the last 4 moths, ever since I moved into the apartment. I always saw it at the front of the complex, and it is exactly the luxury car I have always wanted. A pearl-white Cadillac Eldorado.

I came home one night - and there was a for sale sign on it! $5500.00.

In a nutshell: after a little negotiation, I got it for $4800.00.

And it only has 64k miles on it!

Bluebook was 4300.00, but I have NEVER seen a car this clean, or well taken car of. After I bought it I did a search on Autotrader.com for 1992 Caddy Eldorado's w/less than 75k in the entire US, and the lowest I found was 6500.00. It's a 2 owner car, and the most recent owner is a professional car detailer by trade.

It doesn't have the Northstar, (:() it has a 4.9l in it, 200HP, 275tq. It's no TR, but it's sufficient for daily driving. It has a new A/C compressor, water pump, front brakes and more, most done by the local Cadillas dealer. The only things wrong with it is is needs 1 motor mount (mechanic broke it installing the new A/C compressor), someone tore up the passenger side door handle assembly trying to break in, and when they couldn't get in, the broke off the radio antenna, other than that it's PERFECT!

SuperSix, nice set of wheels, and I'll bet you feel like your driving a $35,000 car.  Don't be too upset about not having the Northstar, I hear most have alot of head trouble.  Speaking of head trouble, I wonder how those guys are doing in Vegas.  I'm crazy jealous but I'll have to wait till next year.  I just registered to support the site, I've been trolling off and on and decided to showboat and register as #100.  Oh, by the way I have 2 GN's (T-Top and Hard Top) both have all kind of problems, but if they were both finished I wouldn't have anything to search the internet for.  Later, Mike

Be happy you didn't get the Northstar. They suck to fix.
You need a special tool just to replace the water pump. You have
to remove the intake manifold to replace the starter. And the
list goes on...
