1990 Cadillac Deville/1 Owner/ 100K/ SOUTHERN CAR/ NEW INSPECTION/NO RESERVE
Description
THIS IS A ONE OWNER CADILLAC PURCHASED NEW FROM MOORE CADILLAC IN RICHMOND, VA THAT WAS PART OF AN ESTATE SALE. I PURCHASED A 1950 CHEVY PICK UP TRUCK FROM THE FAMILY, BUT HAD TO PURCHASE BOTH TO GET THE TRUCK. ALTHOUGH THE TRUCK SAT IN A GARAGE SINCE 1994, THE CADILLAC WAS DRIVEN UP UNTIL 2009. IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND DID NOT MOVE UNTIL I RECOVERED IT.
I HAD IT TOWED TO MY SHOP WHERE THEY DID THE FOLLOWING:
DRAINED THE FUEL TANK/ ADDED FRESH PREMIUM FUEL.
INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY
REPLACED TWO FRONT TIRES WITH USED MICHELIN WHITEWALLS.(FRONT TIRES WERE FLAT AND WOULD NOT HOLD AIR.)
REPLACED SEVERAL LIGHT BULBS, WIPER BLADES AND ANYTHING ELSE NEEDED TO PASS INSPECTION,THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP AND RUNS GREAT WITH NO SMOKE OR ODD NOISES.
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY.
ALL POWER WINDOWS WORK.
THE A/C WAS CHARGED AND WORKED FOR A FEW DAYS BUT IS NOT WORKING NOW. EITHER HAS A LEAK OR NEEDS A COMPRESSOR.
THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK.
THE HEADLINER WAS PERFECT, BUT STARTED TO SAG AFTER BEING REMOVED FROM THE GARAGE.I HAVE NOT TRIED THE MOONROOF AS I'M CONCERNED IT MAY NOT CLOSE IF I OPEN IT.
THE CAR HAS 100k DOCUMENTED MILES. HOWEVER, THE FAMILY GUESSED AT THE MILEAGE WHEN IT WAS TITLED AND PUT 180k ON THE TITLE, WHICH IS INCORRECT. I HAVE RECORDS WITH THE CAR THAT VALIDATE THE ACTUAL MILEAGE AS 100k.
THE CAR HAS A NEW INSPECTION AND SHOULD BE A RELIABLE DAILY DRIVER. IT IS A 27 YEAR OLD USED CAR AND IT DOES HAVE SOME SCRAPES AND DINGS CONSISTENT WITH THE AGE. A GOOD WAX/BUFF WOULD DO WONDERS. NO RUST ANYWHERE, AS IT WAS ALWAYS A GARAGED SOUTHERN CAR.
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, SO SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY. THE CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION PRIOR TO BIDDING IN THE RICHMOND AREA.
