1988 CADILLAC COUPE DE VILLE* For sale is this wonderful option loaded Caddy & believe it or not it almost all works! The paint past & there have been no accidents or fender benders. The engine runs & sounds great & is all original. This is a vehicle that has always been driven, never sitting for long periods so like a rock that gathers no moss this has no rust or gremlins. I have owned this for about Two mos.: the battery has dies' The owner said it is warm & ready to go in 10 seconds in any weather. The trans shifts a bit slow but that only means you cant drive too fast or use too much gas. I believe its always been driven like that & that's the only way it will work. Of all the cars I own she seems to have a special personality! It needs arm rests, front seats recovered & a headliner. The interior really doesn't match the clean outside of the car but I believe its explainable: first all caddies door panels of this vintage eventually crack at over 100K, all GM headliners eventually need replaced & since the front seats are real leather they simply cracked badly in the sun. You may note the rest of the interior is amazing: no cracks in the dash, gauges are clean/working & it has great looking carpet. Every piece of glass is extremely clean & the power windows work: the passenger side is slow but steady. The brakes work well & have new rotors, calipers & hoses. Sorry the car is a bit dirty , I just got it and it been sitting from use in the pics' The car is loaded with options & the electronic temp controls: heater/AC controls all work & so does the radio. The power antenna doesn't work, its fully extended & straight, however. Both doors open with no sag & close/latch tight. The cruise control works, the engine has been constantly maintained & is in perfect order down to every single hose, relay, belt & vacuum line. The 4.5L V8 engine may not be a powerhouse but at least in the instance of this vehicle it certainly has remained very reliable. The body has never seen an accident, has no strange dents or parts out of line/place. The white paint isn't perect on the trunk but overall it looks great from several feet. The trunk pull down works but one of the tension bars broke in half at some point so the lid needs held up by a prop. The jack assembly is complete. The leveling system still works & it never kills the battery. I bought two seat cover for the front, which is on now. Like I said I just received the car about two weeks ago and change mind. I would like a smaller car. This classic is wought fixing!!!! The title is on its way.

It has cool, rare, factory 14" alloy wheels with nice tires that hold air, have no dry rot & have plenty of tread: two match in the front & two in the back. The muffler has no leaks & is so quiet while you drive you wonder if the engine is running! ;) The radiator is in great shape & the car NEVER overheats. The oil/filter were recently changed. All lights work as does the power seats. To sum this car up: the engine & controls have been extremely well maintained but much of the interior will need attention. The transmission is slow at start up but once going it keeps going! Its simply a case of learning how to drive a vintage vehicle with its own quirks. The exterior is very presentable & you can be proud driving it as is & the body/frame/floors have no rust. Overall a very pleasant, good looking driving vehicle . Have the paper work from past owner and manual book.
