2000 Cadillac Eldorado
VIN 1G6ET129XYU157556
What’s special about this listing
Details
This incredibly low and original mileage, well-cared-for 2000 Cadillac Eldorado ETC is immaculate. This car represents the last and best of the Eldorado name, and with its powerful 32-valve DOHC Northstar V8 sitting in a tidy engine compartment and making almost 300hp the car is a more than capable touring coupe. Its front-wheel drive makes it appealing in a variety of climates. A clean Carfax history shows no accidents, and upon inspection, the car was rated a 5 out of 5 for exterior condition, with just a few minor scratches on the Crimson Pearl paint. The Eldorados leather interior matches the exterior in condition, with a 4.5 out of 5 rating for condition after inspection.
Heated seats, Bose audio, dual-zone climate control, and a 4T80E automatic transmission combine to make the car more extravagant. In addition to the Eldorados comfort features, an advanced integrated chassis control system is utilized by Cadillac that manages the engine, traction control, and stability control, combined with speed-perceptive steering, to ensure a safe and comfortable ride. Aside from some surface rust on the underside that is commensurate with its age, this Eldorado appears to be free of decay. After further scrutiny, it looks unmodified and completely stock.
About the Model
At the turn of the millennium, Cadillac would usher out an era of luxury and class with panache with the 12th generation of the Eldorado, built between 1992 and 2002. The ETC (Eldorado touring coupe) sat just above the ESC in terms of price, at about 43,000 dollars when new. The final generation of Eldorado was only available in a coupe and was also its most technologically advanced. The Cadillac Integrated Chassis Control System monitored stability, traction, and steering and made computer-controlled adjustments to the critical systems depending on conditions. Some convertible custom cars were also built during the final generation. Just 11,918 Eldorados were built in 2000.
