I’ll be up front with information as I’d rather sell it to someone who knows what to expect before test driving it.
Bad bits first:
Blower fan makes a noise for the first 30 seconds when cold.
Slight corrosion near the tail light (pictured), but I’ve coated it in ACF50 to prevent further rust and silicone grease to prevent any water ingress. No structural rust. A little bit of corrosion under paint on driver's side behind back and front wheel.
Radio system doesn’t work. I think the amp is faulty.
Possible aged injectors as it needs a little throttle when starting to prevent stalling. Idles and drives fine though.
Paintwork isn’t perfect, but no scratches through to metal. Average for the age of car.
Has original shocks with active control disconnected due to a common fault, but not leaking and damping the ride fine. No negative affect to driving.
Good bits:
New tyres, brakes and brake lines a couple years ago.
Partial service history. I’ve changed the oil every year since I’ve got it back in 2019
AC repaired with new condenser and blows cold.
Starts smoothly first time even when it was -8°C before Christmas.
78,000 miles, and I still occasionally drive this on weekends or to work.
MOT expires September.
Custom stainless steel exhaust with new resonator and Magna Flow mufflers (original exhaust tips). Sounds great!
Original alloy wheels, albeit painted grey by a previous owner.
Tinted rear windows that I did last year. Can be easily removed if needs be.
Gearbox is smooth and doesn’t slip. Brakes work great and throttle is very responsive.
Power steering is light enough that you can parallel park with just your little finger.
4.6 litre V8 1998 Cadillac Seville STS. Right hand drive. Front wheel drive. 4 speed auto. 4 door saloon. Remote central locking (two keys, two fobs with memory) and remote boot lid. Auto headlights. 3 zone climate control. Fully electric memory seats. Electric memory steering column. Folding heated memory electric adjust wing mirrors. Fully leather breathable seats. Original floor mats. Rare wood and leather steering wheel and gear selector. Last time I taxed this it was £290 for the year.
Reg S386ACD for insurance quotes and such.
I’m asking £4,795 OBO. These are rare (especially with original wheels) and not being an import saves on insurance as it was originally sold new in the UK by Vauxhall General Motors. I bought mine as a project car, but all I’ve had time to do is make it better than when I bought it and keep it serviced and road worthy. Perfect for cruising around town. A real head-turner! An iconic look on British roads.
Test drives welcome to serious buyers only. Cash or bank transfer only. Will only accept offers from people who have seen this is person. Not looking for a fast sale, just looking to re-home due to personal reasons.
