The Cadillac BLS is a Green car yet?
Posted on | September 30, 2008 | Comments Off
Looking at my records, the Cadillac BLS 1.9 TiD (150bhp) Elegance Saloon 4dr 1910cc Diesel Manual has changed today, so I have updated the environmental information on my website. You have to laugh that I can beat Cadillac to this update!
Most extras fitted onto cars don’t seem to make difference to the resale price in 2-3 years. Metallic paint, leather and aircon actually do, but let’s face it most cars I sell come with aircon and met paint, anyway. So, if you ask for quote to include extras, you can bet life that it will mean you pay the whole cost of the extra thing, divided by the number of rentals.
I am determined to create momentum in this dinosaur industry to make it aware of environmental responsibilities. Please ask your local dealer what additional steps they are taking. Please be aware of their advertising, their business methods and their environmental impact and question them; "What are you doing to exceed the legal minimum requirements?".
Climate Change is recognised as one of the greatest environmental threats facing the World today and it has long been appreciated by Governments, that reducing the impact of the motor vehicle has an important part to play in addressing this threat.
For this brand new Cadillac BLS Diesel Manual, the latest CO2 figure is just 164g/km. When I chose this trim, it was because I have a few of these available. Different trims will have different CO2. Click on the “fridge label” to get a enviroment label to print for this car. The combined cycle economy for this Cadillac BLS is now 46.30mpg, the noise level is 74dB(A) (decibels), the level of nitrogen oxides is 0.192g/km (oxides of Nitrogen react in the atmosphere to form Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) which can have adverse effects on health, particularly among people with respiratory illness).
The Cadillac BLS falls into the
D band overall.
My Cadillac BLS 1.9 TiD (150bhp) Elegance Saloon 4dr 1910cc Diesel with Manual gearbox is only £381.99+VAT per month with 3 months initial payment, followed by 35 payments on direct debit. Private customers, make sure you add in the VAT, when making decisions. As I can’t tell what type of customer you are (business or private), I can’t display the price any other way but to show VAT seperately (sorry!).
This price on my Cadillac BLS includes full road tax for the length of the contract, on all of my cars and vans! Free delivery to your home or work and free collection from you at the end! £381.99+VAT per month is based on you driving 10,000 miles per annum, but higher mileages are usually available at a small extra cost. If you go over the allocated miles, you can pay a small excess mileage charge, usually between 3p and 15p per mile.
Winning the environmental award (2008 Best Environmentalist in the car industry) was very pleasing for me as it meant I was being recognised for my hard work. I’m the the ONLY new car supplier to display and promote environmental info for ALL new cars, on the web! Please note I have pioneered availability of environmental information on the internet. Using the internet to research and buy new cars is the most environmentally friendly method, by miles.
Here’s a patronising tip from the government: “
Use higher gears, as soon as traffic conditions allow.”
Read this website comment. I really try my best! (email address altered) “Wicked!!! Your site is great and you are hilarious!!! Worth visiting for the humour.
