Welcome to GMI!! It's funny because I was looking at 84-88 Cadillac Eldorado's today, the average price was around $2500-$5000 American.

17 and driving an Eldorado. There's hope for our youth after all.

I picked up a Burgandy '85 Eldo Biarritz a few months ago for $2100. It's in near-perfect shape--pretty much just needs a new headliner and vinyl top.

I love the '79-'85 style. One of the prettiest cars of the last half century, IMO.

ya i forgot to mention this baby's a biarritz as well, and the vinyl top and everything is in perfect condition, someone stole the hood ornament however... pretty bummed about that.

79-85's looked great, too bad they had that horrible 4100 v-8!!! Better stock up on new crankshafts if you've got one of those!
