Vehicle Detail
Here's a beautiful 2001 DeVille that's perfect for the right buyer. It has some issues, but let's start with the good points: - Excellent paint, especially for a 2001. It hasn't been washed for two weeks in the photos and still looks that good. No dents or even significant scratches. - Excellent interior, again especially for a 2001. No rips, tears, or significant stains. Driver's seat does show some wear, but much less than normal for the age of the car. - ALL power accessories work. All windows, mirrors, power seats, seat heaters, stereo, you name it. - ICE COLD air conditioning, works like new. - Brand new tires (Sumitomo HTR Z II), new brakes (including fluid flush), new alternator, new battery, new front engine mount. And when I say new, I mean less than 1,000 miles on all of the above. Now for the bad: - At least one, possibly both head gaskets are blown. Car runs fine for a short time, but overheats soon thereafter. I've been told by a Caddy dealer it's a head gasket failure, but I didn't authorize a full tear down, so I don't know what you'll find when you get the engine apart. But the engine's going to need to come apart, so don't by the car unless you have a donor engine, need this car for donor body/interior parts, or have your own shop to do the work. It will run for a few minutes - easily long enough to get it on and off a transporter - but don't think you can drive it home. Come with a trailer or send a transporter. Also, YOU MUST MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO PICK UP THE CAR WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION END. I've bought myself some time at the dealership where it's sitting but they've said no more than that, so if you buy the car, you need to get it from me quickly. If you need to let it sit longer I'm okay with having it towed to my house, but transportation has to be at buyer's expense.
