I wanted a Cadillac Allante from the first day that I saw one and I finally purchased this one before I retired as an automobile dealer seven or eight years ago. Unfortunately, have not been able to enjoy any open top automobile or boat for the past four years due to a potentially serious issue that was caused by lifetime of excessive sun exposure, hus, t makes no sense for me to continue to own it.
This vehicle has been kept in good mechanical condition by attending to many details that the average owner might not only ignore, ut possibly never think of addressing.
In the past 5000 miles these details include but are not limited to the following:v Four new 60,000 mile tires.
v New shock absorbers.
v New brake pads.
v New catalytic converters.
v New support struts for the hood and deck lid.
v New support struts for the hard shell tonneau convertible top cover.
v The installation of a master kill switch solenoid to prevent parasitic drain from the vehicle is stored for the winter and to act as an additional theft deterrent when the vehicle is in use.
v A $750 lifetime guaranteed rebuild of the Bose speaker system and radio. The cassette tape drive was not rebuilt because I opted to invest in a new technology with the addition of the MP3 player jack, hus negating the need for any other audio source.
This Cadillac Allante has the most sought after color combination of pearl white with red leather interior; it has cold air, ood power window motors, ower door locks, uto off headlights, ruise control and six way power seats. It is not difficult to realize the inherent quality of this vehicle by addressing the maintenance items; also, he addition of the Bose Premium sound system with the MP3 player jack that supplants older tape drive and the addition of the master control switch solenoid that effortlessly disconnects the battery for obvious safety, onvenience and battery preservation that this feature affords speaks well of this vehicle.
An expensive 8 inch thick hardcover post type full service and specification manual with updatesaccompanies this Allante. Additionally, t has the only option that was offered, hat being a hardtop if you so desire to use one.
A knowledgeable individual will appreciate the inherent quality of this vehicle in way that it runs and drives, s well as the fact that it is near rattle free and does not have frame flex that is prevalent in many convertibles.
