Here is a loaded adult owned, non-abused 2005 Cadilac CTS-V in Stealth Gray with tan interior.  I bought this car in January of 2011 with 40,558 miles on it and it has been my daily year round driver ever since.  If you're looking at this auction you probably already know the car has a 5.7 liter LS-6 Corvette engine and a six speed manual transmission.  The car was rated from the factory at 400 horsepower, this one has a little more with the extras listed below.  The car is simply a blast to drive, I honestly look forward to driving it every time I get in. 

First of all, here's the story on the title.  As I'm sure you are, I was concerned about the title when I bought the car.  If you look at the CARFAX you'll see that the car was first purchased in California in July of 2006.  The car was taken in for service seven times before the manufacturer buyback title was issued in February of 2008.  On the Warranty Buyback Notice the problems reported by the owner were "Engine makes clunk noise, vehicle battery inoperable and various warning lamps are on".  The repairs made to correct the problem are stated as "Replaced battery, reset tire monitor, no clunk noise from the engine.  Vehicle operating as designed".  I have put over 45,000 miles on the car and have never heard any unusual engine noises or had any problems with the battery.  There were no warning lights on when I bought the car.  There is currently a check engine light on due to the high flow catalytic converters I installed.  The original catalytic converters are included if you want to re-install them and get rid of the warning light.  I included copies of the Warranty Buyback Notice and the scan I recently had done for the warning light for verification.  Realize that most lenders will not loan money on a vehicle with a branded title.  If you are planning on financing this vehicle please arrange financing before you bid.  My opinion on the title situation is the owner at the time was looking for a reason to get out of the car or had some sort of grudge against the dealer and forced them to buy back the car for trivial reasons.  I have owned the car for almost three years now and put over 45,000 miles on it.  It's been my daily driver year round and I have not had one problem with it. 

I've put a lot of extras on the car to increase the horsepower a little and just to make it the way I want it.  All were done right and made the car more enjoyable.  They include -
  • KW Variant 3 coilover suspension kit.  The car handles like a go-kart with this suspension kit and it allows you to adjust the ride height.  I have the car lowered about as low as you can go without rubbing the tires.  I did have it to low at first and the front tires rubbed on the fender lips.  If you look real close you can see where they rubbed, not really noticable unless you're looking for it.  It does ride a little stiffer with this kit installed, don't expect the Cadillac ride.  The original suspension parts are included if you would prefer to change it back.  These kits are around $2,500.
  • Eibach front and rear sway bars.  Helps give it that go-kart handling, very little body roll.  Cost around $300.
  • High flow catalytic converters.  The check engine light is caused by these.  Cost around $300.
  • Borla cat-back exhaust.  I checked all the cat-back systems before I bought the Borla.  Borla has a rich, deep throaty sound.  Cost around $1,300.
  • Ported and polished throttle body.  Cost around $200.
  • Volant cold air intake.  Cost around $250.
  • Chrome Cadillac wheels.  A lot of guys like the blackout look but I'm a chrome guy.  I think they look awesome.  Cost around $800.
  • Rear spoiler painted to match.  Cost around $250.
  • The tires are fairly new.  Michelin Primacy MXV4s bought in March of 2013 when the car had around 77,000 miles on it.  I've bought cheaper tires before and regretted it.  Decided to spend the extra money and go with Michelins this time.  These are a 60,000 mile tire and they have around 9,000 miles on them.  Cost around $1,100.
  • Since these cars originally come with run-flat tires they don't have a spare.  I didn't like that so I got another CTS-V wheel and the right size tire so it now has a full size spare tire and wheel.
  • Weathertech floor mats.  I also have the original tan mats that are in good shape and will be included.
If you add it all up there are around $5,800 worth of extras already added and installed on the car not counting the tires.  Tires are kind of a regular maintenance item, not an extra.  I have all the original parts if you want to take any of it off.  I do have the original exhaust but it's all one piece and pretty big.  The rest of the parts are easy to transport.  I've always run premium fuel in the car and changed the oil regularly with Mobil 1 synthetic oil.  I've had fun with the car but haven't abused it at all.  It gets great mileage, took it on a road trip last year and averaged 24 mpg cruising at 80-85 mph.  The mileage in the picture is as of 10/27/13.  I'm not driving it much now but it may change a little by the end of the auction.

The only bad parts on the car are a small scratch on the trunk lid (see pic), a plastic piece on the drivers seat is cracked (see pic) and the tires rubbed on the front fender lips when I had the suspension to low (not really noticable, just wanted to mention).  The seats are good, just normal wear.

The car is located in Kennewick, Washington.  if you're nearby you are welcome to come look and test drive the car.  I will help with shipping as much as I can but all shipping arrangements and cost are the buyer's responsibility.  If you want to drive it home the car needs nothing, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.

$500 deposit required within 48 hours of auction close, prefer to receive that via Paypal.  Remainder due within seven days by Cashier's Check or cash.  The car is listed for sale locally and the seller reserves the right to end the auction at any time.

This has been a great car for me and I hate to sell it but priorities change.  There is not a thing wrong with the car, I'd drive it anywhere.  If you have any questions at all please ask.  If the title bothers you I understand but I know there isn't a thing wrong with this car.  I know you'll love it as much as I do.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

2014 Cadillac CTS starts $7k higher than last model at $46,025*

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be more powerful, stylish and luxurious than its predecessor, but it will also be much more expensive. With a new starting price of $46,025 (*including $925 for destination), the 2014 CTS represents a price increase of more than $7,000 compared to the 2013 model, but it should be more appropriately sized and equipped to take on rivals like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which start at $47,800 and $51,900, respectively.
Available trim levels - referred to as Collections - include Luxury, Performance and Premium, offering either a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V6 and the choice of either rear- or all-wheel-drive configurations. For more performance, the all-new CTS Vsport model will have an asking price of $59,995. This 420-horsepower model is more powerful than both the BMW 550i and Mercedes E550 and about $2,000 less expensive than both.
There's still no word on what Cadillac has in store for a next-gen CTS-V sedan, but we're guessing power and price will both rise considerably. Scroll down for more info on the 2014 CTS that is set to go on sale this fall.

Cadillac HQ has a New York address

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

The new home of Cadillac will be in the 330 Hudson building in New York City's Hudson Square, putting the luxury marque smack dab in the middle of three of the city's hippest areas, SoHo, Greenwich Village and Tribeca.
The announcement is yet another milestone in the company's controversial decision to relocate administrative and marketing operations away from Detroit and into the Big Apple.
"The addition of a headquarters office in New York is a key step in Cadillac's ongoing global expansion," Cadillac boss Johan de Nysschen said, according to The Detroit Free Press. "There is no better atmosphere in which to better immerse ourselves into luxury consumer and brand expertise."

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.
