A Cadillac DeVille used to be the cheapest used car for sale on eBay at one point. Tim Allen has a similar looking one, albeit one year old and much more special, and that vehicle is now up for grabs.
Advertised on Cars&Bids, it is a 2000 model, built specifically for the comedian and actor. It has about 13,400 miles (21,565 km) under its belt, and a few special touches that the era’s run-of-the-mill DeVilles lack, such as the stiffer suspension, 18-inch alloys, Brembo brakes, and a bit more power.

Connected to a four-speed automatic gearbox, the 4.6-liter Northstar V8 mill develops in the region of 400 horses, up from the stock car’s 275. And that’s not all, as it also features a few visual touches, such as the wider grille, narrowed back end, carbon fiber rocker sills, and quad exhaust pipes.

Overall, the TAD (Tim Allen Design) Cadillac DeVille DTSi, which is its official name, as the celebrity was behind the mods, applied with GM’s blessing, is better looking than the standard ones. Its performance is nothing to write home about, especially when compared to the modern luxury sedans, but it is still a comfy model, and, surprisingly, better to drive than the usual DeVilles.

Some of the onboard equipment includes heated rear seats, electrically-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, head-up display, sunroof, night vision, and wooden trim. It does have a few flaws, too, as mentioned in the ad, like the missing crest from the grille, chips and scuffs on the wheels, 2013 date code on the tires, and trunk lid emblem that doesn’t look that good anymore.

It is worth noting that this DeVille is no longer in the possession of Tim Allen, as the current owner has had it since January 2018. Nonetheless, it should fetch some big numbers, considering that it is a rare car, with a celeb in the papers. At the time of writing, the highest bid was at a little over $20,000.
