Cadillac Eldorado

I was going to sell my car via the work Buy and Sell. One of my usual forums for mental retardation thinly disguised as an ad.

What do Elvis, The Ghost Busters, that guy from ZZ Top with the beard, Boss Hog, and every popular rapper sinze 1999 have in common? They all drive a Cadillac. Now you too can join this elite club by buying my 1993 Cadillac Eldorado (ETC) coup. The car is in good shape, especially for a 20 year old car. It's an uncommon car, and honestly I don't want to get rid of it.


The car has a 300 horsepower, 32 valve DOHC 4.6 litre Northstar engine. It has a 4 speed automatic transmission, so you can't sit at red lights and roll back and forth to show the world that you drive a manual. Sorry kids. It has power doors, locks, seats, windows and a sunroof. It has heated leather seats in the front. It has the standard 16 inch rims. The little back quarter windows and the rear window are tinted, and are super dark. The body is in good shape, and it's not rusting out. As far as I can tell, the car hasn't been in any major accidents. All of the body panels are straight, and there are no glaring indicators of anything being rebuilt or replaced. I drove it through that week of winter we had, and it did just fine on the ice, even on all-season tires.


There are a couple problems with the car as well, though nothing major. The ball joints will need to be replaced soon. The heater control has an electrical glitch, which has me stumped. Some of the paint is yellowing. It's mostly happening around the rear passenger side of the car. That's a real shame since pearl white is the Cadillac of paint colors. The automatic leveling system was removed by a previous owner, so when you turn this car off, it doesn't make that buzzing sound that 90's Cadillacs made after they were shut off. Also, the button that opens the gas door only works sometimes, so you may have to open it manually. 


The car was safetied in January of February of this year. Either way, this safety is so fresh that it's still warm.


Now, this power and torque comes at a price. As you might have guessed, this car isn't exactly a fuel sipper. This thing chugs fuel like it's going out of style. If your daily driver is some kind of tank or bus, this will seem like a hybrid. The thing is, nobody who owns a Cadillac worries about fuel economy.


I really don't want to get rid of this car...but I need to buy a truck. I'd like to get 2100 for the car, but I'm open to offers. With a couple bucks, this could be a great summer cruiser, or even just a year round daily driver. It's totally driveable as it is right now, and I drive it basically everywhere I can all the time, since it's such a rad car. Call me at 990-4278 to check it out.

I didn't even have a chance to post it, because my car sold astonishingly quickly. I didn't think this ad was among my better work, much like every blog entry before the current one, so I'm not too hung up that I never actually got to post it. I can post something I've already written, and it still counts as a new blog entry. How awesome is that? I didn't even have to work today to put something up here. And really, isn't laziness the difference between a blogger and a real writer?
