Used 1993 Cadillac Allante for sale near Portland, OR

Julian was great. He even took my car to a pre pruchase inspection to make sure it was the perfect car for me. Will definitely buy my next car from ace motorworks

A 1993. Bought at end of 2019 w/112k for a good price. Car was in good shape, i.e. no head gasket issues minor oil leaks. After flushing the cooling system changing the belts & hoses & fluids, I drove it for the next 2years without issue. Last year (at 126K) new rad., coolant cross-over and water pump. Now it runs perfectly. Issues: Complicated top that needs a specialist to adjust to work easily. Now have 131k. Positives: stunning to look at (head-turner), fast for an early 90's car (0-60, 6.2, 1/4 mile 14.8 and a Cadillac claimed 241kph top), very nice interior for the time. A hybrid (Italo-American) at a very nice price.

Outstanding service and attention! Cleanliness attitude. Always pleasant and offer genuinely concern for you as a customer and your vehicle. Best dealership in the region.

I purchased my 93 in 2001, with approx 65K , I travelled and used for pleasure trips, and vacations. Mechanically It has preformed well. I have ha several Electronic issues, Raido system drain of battery, window switches being cleaned and reinstalled, top power latches, both rear and front failures,( Never Close To Home) The seat stitching has come loose on a few seems, but most interior parts are still nice. This vehicle has been garage kept most of its life, exterior is still nice. I have doubled the mileage in past 20 years, but rarely drive anymore.

Absolutely the best experience I’ve had at a dealership and I have bought a lot of cars over the years. I have to admit I dreaded buying a new car and shopping around but this dealership - salesman (Shan) and finance department (Lenny) were very friendly and knowledgeable; as well as not pushy which made this transaction that much easier. I’m very satisfied with my new car and the purchase price I received. I will definitely return when it’s time for a new vehicle. Thanks for making my experience and dealership stigma a happy one!!

I am a silver haired car buff (former traveling salesman) who has owned many Cadillacs over the years from De'villes to Broughams to Eldorados. I now drive a 1993 Allante and it is not only the finest automobile I have ever owned it is the finest Automobile I have ever driven. It is comfortable, punchy, sturdy and a real kick in the head to drive. Aside from all this, the car is extremely reliable. I have driven in summer bumper to bumper city traffic and have been on highway road trips in my Allante and never had any breakdowns or problems. The Northstar is a remarkable engine with plenty of horsepower and torque. All the scrabble-talk about head gasket issues is irrelevant if you simply keep coolant in the blessed radiator. It's real simple! If you are foolish enough to over-heat the Allante turn off the engine immediately and let it cool down. Yes, you can have head gasket problems if you let the car get too hot, so be responsible, check your gage, keep the coolant topped off, don't over heat the engine and you will have one of the finest performance engines ever made. The Allante with the Northstar engine is a masterpiece roadster. Many Cadillac techs agree with me and swear by the 1993 Allante. This is a world class automobile!

Jad, The salesperson was absolutely fabulous! He really knew his stuff and shared everything with me without any pressure to purchase the vehicle. Probably the best salesman I've ever dealt with and I'm 72! Steve j. Sisson

Absolutely love my allante! Very powerful for an almost 30 year old car, it keeps up with the new stuff. It’s a very stylish car and one of the rare convertibles anyone can drive and look like a movie star.

Here is a review of my start to finish review of buying a car from Gateway Classic Cars, Ft. Lauderdale: ----- 1. The sales people who you work with are not on site. They're working remote so they don't have eyes on the car. ---- So, 2. You'll want to be connected with someone on site who can start and drive the car, provide a walkaround video, pictures of whatever you want and give their input. I worked with Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location for my purchase and he was outstanding with helping me to know the car before making an offer. He is the reason that this is a 5 star review. -------- 3. Hauling: They'll get you a quote for hauling the vehicle. I chose Nexus Transport myself to use. They were a bit cheaper and top rated by Forbes. That went just fine. --------- 4. These cars are all on consignment. So, I feel that you have to be a little more careful because you have another party who may not have disclosed things to Gate City. Best practice is to get a pre-buy done from someone like Lemon Squad. That being said, I was so comfortable with my deal, took the risk and waived the pre-buy. And in my case, the Prowler is a mint gem and I have no concerns after receiving it. Also, there is a common thought then you buy a car like this, you should budget 10% or so of the price for maintenance right after you get the car because stuff always comes up, otherwise, don't buy a used car. --------5. Since they're on consignment, they have commissions they charge the seller. As a buyer, I don't care even if I see a commissions line on the purchase agreement. As long as my out the door number was what I offered, that's fine. --------6. I wired money to them and within a few hours, I had all the fully executed paperwork back in my hands. Title took about 3 weeks to receive by UPS. No issues. Thank you Barbara! ------ 7. So here is what breeds loyalty. Alex at the Ft. Lauderdale location made sure the car was completely ready to be picked up including accessories that were bubble wrapped. The car was supposed to be picked up at Noon on Saturday, plenty of time before they closed at 5pm. He stayed until the truck arrived...very late....AT 1:30am going into Sunday morning!!!! (Otherwise, it would have sat until Tuesday). I cannot believe he did that for me. I received my car loading video at 2am. That's unbelievable service that deserves more than 5 stars. ------- Summary: I'd have zero issues with buying from Gate City again....they just operate in a different style than what I'm traditionally used to, which is just fine.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO OWNTHIS CAR, BUT COULDN'T AFFORD IT WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. I'M A BIT OF A CAR LOVER, AND THIS ONE IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. ONLY SELLING IT NOW AS I'VE BECOME A SNOWBIRD AND I CAN'T DRIVE ALL MY CARS. KEPT GARAGED AND WELL MAINTAINED. NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENT AND FOR A 93 IT HAS UNDER 57,000 MILES.
