Faults:

The Compact Disc player wasn't registering CDs when I took ownership. I replaced the player with an upgraded player for $225.

General Comments:

Its obvious that this car has been taken care of well by its two previous owners.

Mechanically it appears to perform as originally designed. There have been no mechanical system failures.

Electronically its in A-1 condition. Every electrical circuit, relay, switch or component seems to operate as designed.

It appears Cadillac made some significant changes to the late '93 model enhancing its reliability and serviceability.

The car is Pearl white with Maroon interior and top. The Maroon convertible top was only factory installed on the 1993 Allante.

Some of the features this vehicle offers that have impressed me most are its color and paint quality, the quality of material used for the top's exterior, its exceptional performance and handling, the sophisticated operation of its computer system and diagnostic readouts and controls, its incomparable grand interior roominess considering it is a two-seat sports car and its typical Cadillac leather seating comfort.

I cannot rave enough about Cadillac's 1993 Allante.

Faults:

The rear pull-down top motor had to be replaced.

The passenger side 'quick down' window regulator was replaced.

The automatic 'up-down' radio aerial motor was replaced.

The crankshaft sensor and MAP sensor were replaced.

The fourth range up-shift solenoid kit and attendant computer chip had to be replaced. Dealer on first try failed this installation completely!

The drive train computer had to be replaced.

The CD read head no longer works. This is a $600.00 plus repair.

The vehicle has inexplicably 'gone dead' two times and had to be trucked into the dealer for service.

The leather outer edge on the driver's side is abraded and unsightly.

General Comments:

This vehicle is a liability and I am earnestly in process to get rid of it.

Cadillac Division of General Motors deserves a huge expletive for allowing this machine to be sold.

I will never buy another Cadillac Division automobile...ever.

Faults:

Small oil leak.

General Comments:

This car is timeless. The body designed and built by Pinafarina in Italy is an art form in itself. The engine (Northstar) is the best engine ever made. The car handles like a true sports car with power to spare and handling as good as any European sports car on the road.

As a collector I'm finding that it's hard to keep the miles off this vehicle. It seems to be my car of choice on a warm sunny day. I get thumbs up no matter where I drive it.

There are a few things I would have liked to see changed, one to mention is the turn signal arm, looks like Cadillac got them from Fiat. Every other appointment on the car is first class.
