Cars like this are a great buy for the use you can get out of them. The dash says "premium unleaded only". I am surprised it requires premium. GLWS.

You run regular and the computer will adjust the timing with the reduced octane-NO pings! You do lose about 20 HP.

That is a lot of car for the money. That car has an easy 125,000-150,000 miles left in it. I don't think it will last long for that money. I bet it had whitewalls on it.

Redolsman it did. Until probate released it there, were 1/2 inch white walls on it. They were dry rotted so I put new Hancock black walls on.. Most used up cars under 10K are pretty much junk these days. I'm sticking on the price too, already revised to add to firm on the price.Already had 4 tire kickers and the add is not 4 hours old.

I'd raise the price to $5k and come down to $4750, everyone likes to win something.

My mom drove a few different Cadillacs when I was a kid, and one was very similar to that. I loved those cars with their comfy rides and the power from the V8 was very nice, but refined.

Hard to get a Cadillac with a V8 now, which has really turned me off from the brand. I never thought I'd see the day when a Cadillac came with a four banger. Sad.

Cars like this were exceptionally nice. Good luck with the sale.

I always do that because everyone likes to FEEL like they are winning. More than once I've had a buyer who just paid asking price, didn't even try to get it down. So I know that winning feeling.
I usually know somebody who is looking for a nice cash car around the DFW area. That Caddy will sell in the next few days and I'll get a text from a friend looking for just such a ride the next day. I search Grandma regularly in the cars and truck section of Craigslist. Got some good flippers that way. I think Rob is asking for all the money on that car unless the seller carries the note.
Good luck with the sale.

I never sold a cheap car in along time. I put the price as firm because I don't want to be bothered with "tire kickers" people that really can't buy anyway.( Don't have the time or patience) I just had a guy offer me $4,500 for it but I had to drive to Austin to drop it off? Nope. Happytrails that Northstar V-8 is so quiet after it warms up I forgot it was running in the driveway..See what happens.

Of course it is. I was asked this morning about a good cash car for $5k. Glad you sold it.
