Cadillac Allante

[Lawteachr]

I am contemplating purchasing a 1989 Cadillac Allante, the vehicle is in very good condition with 78,000 miles.

I have read various articles on the vehicle would like some

input from Allante owners and their opinion of this model.

I worked on one for a "prominent citizen" of my hometown. IMHO, they are just OK, in some ways less of a car than a "Detroit bodied" Cadillac of the same given model year. Some things are really shoe horned in there (tight) and the instrument panel can pose a serious financial hardship if anything goes bad on it.

I'm crazy about the current XLR roadster though!

Thanks for your reply.

The XLR Roadster would be an option, If the wife would eat the poison mushrooms(Kidding).

I've got a 93 and I love it. I would suggest you stop in the forum at allante-net:

The biggest problem with the 87-92 cars is the ABS. If the system isn't serviced annually, the ABS unit fails, and the brakes go with it. The 93s have a different system that doesn't have this problem.
