*** I AM RE LISTING THE CAR, THE BUYER HAD AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION... THIS IS THE EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM HIM AFTER THE AUCTION ENDED: Dear investorsgroup555, I have had two deaths in the past 24 hours.It would be impossible for me to undertake this purchase on what I must do in the next 5 days.Thank you for your consideration and understanding. - mlis8525 THIS BEAUTIFUL AND RARE 1978 CADILLAC COUPE DE VILLE WAS OWNED AND DRIVEN BY AN OLD LADY WHO RECENTLY PASSED AWAY AND WAS PURCHASED BY ME AS PART OF THE ESTATE SALE. THE CAR WAS ALWAYS GARAGED AND MAINLY USED BY THE OWNER TO BUY GROCERIES AND DRIVE BACK HOME, I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK FROM 1978 INCLUDING ORIGINAL BOOKS, ORIGINAL WARRANTY, ORIGINAL MANUALS, LOG BOOKS AND DETAILED RECORDS/RECEIPTS OF ALL MAINTENANCE ! THE ODOMETER SHOWS 14,000 (the car actually has 114.000 miles) AND BY THE LOOKS OF THIS CAR YOU WOULD BELIEVE (like I fooled my mechanic and all my friends...) THAT IT IS ONLY A 14,000 CAR !. THIS CAR RUNS/DRIVES BETTER THAN MY NEWER LINCOLN NAVIGATOR... I DROVE THE CAR DAILY FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW AND THE MOTOR/ TRANSMISSION RUNS LIKE NEW, ALL ELECTRIC COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE POWER SEATS, WINDOWS, POWER ANTENNA ARE IN PERFECT OPERATING CONDITION. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE BODY IS LASER STRAIT WITH NO DENTS OR DINGS ( a few minor rust bobbles are starting to form in some places but are minor and can be fixed easily should the buyer wants a PERFECT SHOW car) THE LIMO STYLE ROOF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, IT IS THE SAME AS THE DAY IT ROLLED OUT OF THE FACTORY IN 1978. THE AC WAS JUST UPGRADED BY ME FROM THE ORIGINAL R112 TO THE NEW R134 AND BLOWS ICE COLD AIR. THE INTERIOR IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, THE FRONT / BACK SEATS AND CARPET LOOK AS THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN USED... THE BRAKES ARE LIKE NEW, THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW MICHELIN TIRES WITH ABOUT 95%+ THREAD LEFT . THE CAR DOES NOT SAG, IT ACTUALLY RIDES HIGH AND STRAIGHT AND IS VERY MAJESTIC IN A WAY, I WOULD LOVE TO KEEP THIS CAR BUT I JUST PURCHASED AN OLDER CADILLAC CONVERTIBLE THAT WILL NEED MY ATTENTION SO I MUST SELL THE COUPE... I AM ALSO TRYING TO SELL THE CAR LOCALLY, IF I'LL RECEIVE A GOOD OFFER I WILL SELL IT AND CLOSE THE AUCTION SO PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO BID... ALL BUYERS ARE WELCOME TO INSPECT THE CAR IN PERSON PRIOR TO BIDDING/ AUCTION'S END, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED ! PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK * please note a $1000 deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of auction and the car must be paid in full within 3 days of end of auction, payment must be in a form of cash in person or a bank wire only, no PayPal please. this is an older car and will be sold as is where is without any guaranties or warranties written or implied. On Oct-05-12 at 07:16:06 PDT, seller added the following information: *** THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR EMAILS AND INTEREST IN THE CAR, JUST TO ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS: 1) I NOTICED IN SOME PHOTOS THE SHADE OF THE SUN ON THE CARPET MAKES IT LOOK DIRTY, THE CARPET IS AS NEW AS IT WAS IN 1978 AND THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE COLOR AND QUALITY IS UNMATCHED ! IT IS SPOTLESS AND IN NEW CONDITION. 2) TO ALL YOU OUT OF STATE BUYERS, YES, I CAN HOLD THE CAR AS LONG AS YOU NEED AFTER IT IS PAID OFF IN FULL... I LIVE IN A VERY SECURED BUILDING WITH A COVERED PARKING SPACE SO THE CAR WILL BE SECURED UNTIL A PICK UP IS ARRANGED BY THE BUYER OR HIS SHIPPER. 3) I HAVE A CLEAR TITLE IN MY HANDS. 4) THE ORIGINAL RADIO WAS HARDLY USED AND THE ORIGINAL SPEAKERS SOUND LIKE NEW. 5) THERE IS NO FRAME RUST UNDER THE CAR, IT IS VERY CLEAN. 6) THIS CAR HAS NEVER SEEN SUN OR RAIN, IT HAS BEEN PARKED IN THE HOUSE'S GARAGE ALL ITS LIFE. 7) THE OLD LADY KEPT A WRITTEN LOG BOOK DETAILING EVERY OIL CHANG, TIRE CHANGE, MAINTENANCE, WORK, PARTS, LABOR... FROM DAY ONE INCLUDING DATES, MILEAGE, AND ALL OTHER INFO... I HAVE TOO MANY INVOICES TO COUNT ! 8) SURPRISINGLY THE CAR IS VERY GOOD ON GAS, ITS PROBABLY DUE TO THE FACT IT IS IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION AND MAINTAINED PROPERLY. 9) THE CORNER BUMPER FILLERS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION AND ARE NOT DRY, THEY ARE VERY FLEXIBLE... IN FACT YOU CAN PUSH THEM IN WITH YOUR FINGER AND THEY FEEL LIKE RUBBER ! OK, I HOPE I ANSWER SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS, AS I STATED BEFORE "NO DISAPPOINTMENTS WITH THIS CAR" !! I REALLY HATE TO SELL IT...
