1989 Cadillac Allante review from North America
"Great 2nd car, fells like a real Italian car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radio Speakers all had to be rebuilt (Cadillac allante club very helpful)
Idle control motor went bad and car stalled (90.00 dealer part)
Several convertible top issues (club)
Window stuck in down position (dealer still had parts)
Now have oil leak I think my pan is bad.
General comments?
This is the most fun you can have without spending a whole lot of cash. the local chapters out there will help you keep this baby alive.
It does need some TLC, but it is a very rewarding ride.
