HERE WE GO.....A 1988 CADILLAC ALLANTE BEING OFFERED AT A STARTING PRICE LESS THAN IT'S VALUE IN PARTSTHIS ONE HAS BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 200 MILES A YEAR FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 6 YEARS.PROBABLY ROAD WORTHY JUST LIKE IT IS....YOUR GAMBLE. BRAND NEW BATTERY FOR A START....NO PUN INTENDEDBODY - GENERALLY EXCELLENT, EXCEPT FOR A COUPLE OF SMALL DENTS ON THE UPPER LEFT REAR QUARTER....MY BADPAINT - HAS SUFFERED FROM SITTING IN MY SHOP WHERE OTHER THINGS HAVE BEEN SPRAY PAINTED. NEEDS ATTENTION, BUT CAN BE FIXED WITH SOME POLISHING. DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CLAY BARS? THEY WORK GREAT!ELECTRONICS...A BIG ISSUE WITH ALLANTES IN GENERAL, GOOD AND BAD! BUILT ARE DIAGNOSTICS ARE AMAZING. THERE IS A RECURRING 'COOLING SYSTEM FAULT' MESSAGE ON START UP. BUT IT SEEMS TO BE LESS OF AN ACTUAL FAULT THAN IT IS A 'FEEDBACK' FAULT. NOT AN OPERATIONAL ISSUE, PRESS RESET AND CARRY ON.ANTI-LOCK BRAKES...A BIG ISSUE WITH ALLANTES. IF THIS CAR SITS A FEW DAYS, YOU MAY GET THE 'ANTI-LOCK DISABLED' MESSAGE. BUT IF YOU DRIVE IT EVERY DAY, IT CAN STOP LIKE YOU'VE DROPPED AN ANCHOR. AMAZING BRAKES FOR 1988.....TIRES/WHEELS....WHEELS ARE LATER MODEL 16" WHEELS. EXACTLY THE SAME STYLE AS THE ORIGINAL 15" WHEELS BUT MUCH EASIER TO SHOP FOR TIRES. TIRES ARE OLDER 'FULDA EXTREMO' (GOODYEAR OF GERMANY)AGING HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES....GREAT FOR NOW IN DRY WEATHER. DON'T COUNT ON THEM IN WET WEATHER.CAR COVER AND SOME MAINTENANCE ITEMS INCLUDED. HARD TOP IS IS NOT SHOWN BUT IT IS INCLUDED...NEEDS SOME WORK. QUESTIONS ENCOURAGED, LOCAL INSPECTION AND PICK-UP ALWAYS WELCOME
