UP for auction is a beautiful 1999 Cadillac STS that I acquired from my good friend about 4 months ago in a business deal. My original intention was to register the car and use it as my every day driver, but due to the fact that I have just started a new job and the company has provided a new vehicle for me, I will not be needing this vehicle and hence it is up for auction. This vehicle has an outstanding body, with no dents and beautiful STS Chrome rims with gorgeous next to new tires. The interior is flawless in terms of not having any rips or tears. The interior can use a little cleaning and leather treatment to make it look brand new. The car runs and drives very well. The engine despite having 181,000 on the clock, runs beautifully with no oil leaks or any colant problems. I have the clear (Rebuilt/Salvage) NY Title in my hand, which was converted in 2004 in North Carolina after an Insurance Company salvaged the vehicle from a mild vandalism. For the last 4 years until present day the vehicle was registered and insured and operating in NY and was inspected by the NY State DMV for all operations and emisssions and passed every year. This vehicle's title can be transferred to the new owner and registered without any difficulty in any way, and in any state, but it the new title will always have the salvage branded history for its duration. I went over everything with this vehicle with my friend who indicated that the engine was also rebuilt by Cadillac from a previous owner, but I could not confirm this. What has been done are the braker which are next to new, the radiator, alternator, battery, and water pump, all within the last 18 momths, The car has had new Cadillac Struts placed on all wheels, and the transmission has been professionally serviced and is shifting gears perfectly. All electronics work including the Bose sound sytem, all seating controls, including the heated seats, all heating and ac modules work and blow hot air and cold air, and all the windows, sunroof, moonroof, and dash electronics ALL WORK PERFECTLY! Their is a small leak in the exhaust system by the exhaust manifold, and although minor, ocassionally the engine will lose small amounts of vacumn dut to that leak. The car moves on the highway very well with great acceleration and was used as a daily driver for 4 years on the highway, getting almost 27 MPG on the highway and 17 in the city! The car rides great and will give its new owner years of good service. If you have any questions at all about this car, please call me at 516-473-8399, anytime or text me, and I will respond in a timely fashion. I have also included below some amazing facts about this car in a write up by a car reviewer in 1999. The amazing thing about this car is that it retailed for $54,000 and now you can have it at a fraction of the cost. Bid to win as this auction has a no reserve and will sell to the highest bidder. I feel confident that this vehicle can travel anywhere in the USA without any difficulty and will give great service to the new owner! This is a little brief review from Car Buyers Review about this outstanding automobile. Cadillac has long been the quintessential American luxury car maker, but has had little presence outside of U. S. borders. The newest Seville is designed to change that. Cadillac market research for the car involved potential customers in Europe and Asia as well as the U.S., and right-hand drive versions will be sold in Japan, Great Britain, South Africa, Singapore, and Hong Kong. To underscore Cadillac's international intent, the Seville's debut was not in the U.S., but in Germany, at the 1997 Frankfurt International Auto Show. Although the new Seville is stylistically an evolution of its predecessor, there are major changes under its skin. It uses the third generation of GM's "G" large-car architecture, a much more modern and rigid structure than the old Seville platform, for improved suspension control and ride quality, lower noise levels, and better fit and finish to body and interior panels. Power is still supplied by the world-class "Northstar System", which integrates powertrain and chassis components for smooth, efficient performance. The new Seville is still offered in SLS and STS form, with the softer SLS tuned for more traditional American tastes and the STS set up to do battle with the imports, using all of the latest technology in Cadillac's arsenal. How international is the new Seville? I tested an SLS about a year ago and found it to be a good American highway cruiser. More recently, I spent a week with a 1999 STS. It's a luxury sedan, not a sports sedan, with a cosmopolitan American character. The components of the Northstar System are equal to any equivalents in the world, and the level of technology found in the STS surpasses the competition in many areas. What's more American than technology, after all? For the moneyed but value-minded, the STS has more room than any equivalently-priced import competitors. The STS faces strong competition with its own unique character and strengths. APPEARANCE: A compliment to its designers, the latest Seville looks smaller than it actually is. Unlike some Cadillacs of the past, today's Seville is elegantly conservative in style, not at all flashy. It is an evolutionary development of the previous-generation car, softer and more rounded without losing the Cadillac edge. The undercut shoulder line, blending into the abruptly-cut tail, establishes continuity with the previous Seville. The STS is distinguished by its body-colored eggcrate grille. COMFORT: The STS is most international in its interior styling and layout. A contemporary design with a medium gray-over-cream color scheme and a tasteful amount of wood trim, it imparts a feeling of spaciousness. Unlike some Cadillacs of the past, the STS is meant for active driving, and careful instrument and control placement enhances the driver's experience. Electroluminescent instruments are easily read in any light. The front buckets are wonderfully comfortable and feature shoulder straps anchored to the seatback for automatic height adjustment. The rear bench is contoured for two, and will hold three adults. Perforated leather seating areas keep passengers cool in warm weather, and optional heating for all outboard seats helps winter warmth. Massaging lumbar front seats are an interesting option. Convenience is a large part of the luxury experience, and practical storage areas and a console-mounted CD changer score high. A ski passthrough in the rear seat can be useful; a diagram for stowing four golf bags in the trunk shows that Cadillac knows its market. SAFETY: The 1999 Cadillac Seville STS is designed for both active and passive safety, with high-performance suspension, traction and stability control, powertrain, and antilock braking systems, a sturdy safety cage around passengers, and front and side airbags. ROADABILITY: Nowhere does the STS's technology shine as brightly as in its chassis. "Continuously-Variable Road-Sensing Suspension" sets shock damping in real time. Road texture detection helps optimize braking efficiency. The Stabilitrak stability control system combines a yaw rate sensor and lateral accelerometer with the suspension, steering, ABS, and traction control systems to enhance driver control in hard cornering situations such as emergency maneuvers. The STS's suspension tuning is firmer than that of the SLS, a luxury-comfort calibration very similar to the best European luxury cars. The STS is supple and comfortable enough for American highway tastes, and is one of the better luxury cars made - anywhere - when the road gets interesting. PERFORMANCE: The Northstar V8 is a gem. In STS tune it makes 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, slightly more horsepower and less torque than in the SLS. More importantly, the STS has a more performance-oriented final drive ratio for quicker acceleration. It reaches 60 mph about a second quicker than the SLS. The 4-speed automatic transmission is enhanced by "Performance Algorithm Shifting" (PAS), a software program that works in concert with the Stabilitrak hardware and software to choose the correct gear in real time, as opposed to the multi-mode or adaptive systems used by other automakers. It works well in performance driving. CONCLUSIONS: Cadillac is serious about being a player in the world luxury car field, and the Seville STS is showing the way with space, comfort, and technological innovation.
