That's the number of Cadillacs that I now own!
Okay, so I've been gone from the forums for about a month, not that anyone has noticed, but during that time (today), I purchased a 1989 Cadillac Sedan Deville for $400.00! The engine is the TBI 4.5 liter with 157,600 miles, which runs perfectly. While I was taking this car over to my garage, the engine ran so smooth and quiet that I though the car had stalled out...But it was just so smooth and quiet (remember, I have flowmasters on my main ride), I was tricked into thinking the car was quitting on me. The shifts are thusfar flawless, and despite a wheel problem (look below), the ride is also very smooth.
The body is in near-mint condidtion for the most part, but the guy I bought the car from had a paint job done to her, and never had the clear-coat done. That is something that will be addressed, but otherwise, the body is near-perfect.
Now there is a reason that the car was to be sold at this price: the rear passenger's side wheel hub bearing is so shot, that the wheel wobbles, and will likely fall off should I drive it any further. And there are some minor issues like a bad window track on the front drivers side door, the glove box latch needs replaced, and general little things like that...
As for what the car looks like, I'll try and post some pictures of her tomorrow or whenever, but a brief discription in short is as follows: the car is a cross between dark and light metalic blue, with blue leather interior. One slight dent on the trunk lid, and the wheel issue. Otherwise, she's very fine...
The story the guy gave me for why he was selling the car is as follows: he was tired of dealing with the car's problems (I remember him replacing the AC compressor this past Febuary), that he was going to sell the car to a junk yard if he couldn't get it sold soon. I asked what he wanted, and he quoted the $400.00 pricetag, which I agreed. I made sure the VIN numbers on the title and the car matched, and everything was cool thereafter. She's now my new toy, and before too soon, I expect to make quite a profit from her...
