Description of 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham |
SELLER'S NOTE REGARDING OWNERSHIP HISTSORY: AutoCheck is reporting 3 previous owners. That is somewhat misleading. AutoCheck is reporting the first two title transactions as two owners, when in fact they are both for the same original title. The CarFax report, which I reference in my item description, reports the transfer of that original title to this seller last month as 2nd Owner. Regardless, both services are in agreement that the car history is clean, with no negatives reported in any catergory. ________________________________________________ _______________ CAUTION BEFORE BIDDING: I AM NOT A DEALER.

Inside and outside,it looks almost new. The pictures tell the story, but please read the entire description,because it should answer most questions. Be assured the body is straight and totally rust free. The Cotillion White finish retains itsbeautiful original sheen. All bright work is smooth and straight and gleams almost a perfect10. The vinyl top is exceptionally nice--clean and bright and white, without any cracks ortears. And the whitewall tires have good tread depth with many miles of driving still left in them. I think anyone would find the view under the hood of this Fleetwood most pleasing.Especially avintage car enthusiast with a fondness for the very desirable 1993 TBI versionof GM's 5.7L 350 V8 engine. It's clean, it's correct, everything is where it should be. But nothing quite says Cadillac like the Fleetwood Brougham leather seating area. Frontand back, theDark Cherry leather is in gorgeous condition. The same can be said for thecarpeting, the original floor mats, and the dash pad. And yes, the heater heats and the air blowscold. With the exception of the inside-the-glovebox remote trunk release, the many power/electric options work as they should--the seats, the radio, the power antenna, themirrors, etc. Thenext owner of this Fleetwood will have a luxury automobile that drives and handles asnice as it looks. It starts and stops as it should.Under acceleration,solidshifting announcesitself with analmost high-performance-quality firm shiftfrom 1stinto 2nd,continuing effortlessly, silently and smoothlywithout slippage through the gears.It drivesstraight asan arrow down thehighway.It is readyfora newowner to just getin and go. It is immediately evident that, over the years, this Cadillac received a high level of lovingcare and maintenance.It's "like-new" appearancespeaks to the fact that it was alwaysgarage-kept and sheltered from any harmful northern elements. With under 104k originalmiles, average miles driven per year are under 4400. Even so, I find it remarkable thatafter 24 years there are so few flaws. The imperfections are minor, but you should beaware of them before bidding. Most apparent is atiny tear in the leather near the outer edge of the driver's seat. Withoutany intent to hide it,wejust inadvertentlyfailed tocapture it in the photowe took of thefront seating area. But if you've looked closelyat the interiors ofother'93-'96 FleetwoodBroughams, then you've already seen it, becauseit isinalmost every one of these vehicles optioned with heated leather seating.I believe it to be associated withthe heated seattechnology.Our cameradid pick up the fewlittlescratchlines that are etched into onlyonesmallarea of the back seat.Also, fabric onthe driver-side B-Pillar is worn throughas theresult of 24 years of butt-rub from the driver entering andexitingthe front seating area--another common"wear" issue on thesecarsthateasilyescapes notice, especially withthe door closed. There is asmall ding in the leading edge of the passenger-side front fender. It hides itselfwell. In fact,nobody notices itunless I point it out to them. It doesn't break paint, and ithonestly shows more pronounced in the pictures thanitdoes in person. A very fussy criticwould also point out a barelynoticeable tinyblemish on the driver-side tail light bezel.And taking fussy even further, I would judge the whitewall on the front passenger-side tireto be somewhat cosmetically inferior to its three mates. And asone final item for disclosure, I will report a very non-consequential drivingexperience with the vehicle. The traction-controland anti-lock brake systems work inconjunction with each other to stop rear-wheel spin. They assist in preventing skiddingin slippery conditions. They are useful options, but are notnecessary for safe driving and stopping under normal road conditions. On one occasion during stop-and-go driving and prolongedidling in a construction zone, these system'swarning lights appeared andremained on until the ignition recycled. They are intended to signal a problem with ordisengagement of the systems,although I noticed no change in performance. They havenot appeared since. It's my guess thatthis event wastriggeredby a glitch in a sensor,perhaps ata rear wheel. A new owner may or may not encounterthe same situation inthe future. A cleanCarFax for this vehicle shows no accidents or otherdamage reported over theyears. It reports 2 previous owners. It showsOwner 2 purchased the vehicle justlastmonth. That wasTHIS seller. ME! I was recently fortunate to come into possession of thisbeautiful one-owner vehicle. But without garage space to store it, and with two other fine vehicles at my disposal, I determined to make it available for someone else to drive andenjoy. All of this just goes to say that the lucky purchaser of this elegant FleetwoodBrougham becomes effectively the true second owner. So let's talk price. Fleetwoods such as this one, in exceptional original condition, regularly list on eBaywith Reserve, Buy-It-Now, and Opening Bid prices upwards of 10-thousand dollars.Some of the nicer ones are listed well into the mid teens. If you missed them, you canstill see them by clicking on "completed listings". Judging from their glowingdescriptions and pictures, I can honestly say that this '93 is at least as nice, if notnicer, than most of those higher priced offerings. My much lower price simply reflects the fact that I genuinely prefer that this lovely Cadillac find a new home today, ratherthan next month or next year. Consider this: It retailed new for upwards of 33-thousand dollars. 24 years later itstill looks, drives, and rides as close to new as any '93 Fleetwood you'll find anywhere.And best of all, you can become itsproud new owner for just $6900. If you have a genuine desire for a Fleetwood of this vintage, if you've been waitingand watching for one of the nicer ones to come along with a bargain price tag, if myhonest description and telling pictures have convinced you that this one fills the bill,if you have the funds in-hand necessary to complete a smooth transaction in a timelymanner as prescribed below, then I respectfully suggest that you do not delay. Don'tlet it get away. As mentioned above, I am advertising and showing it off locally and elsewhere and I reserve the right to end this auction early. ________________________________________________________________ NOTE: THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
