I'm the third owner, having bought it from a friend of mine. It's been covered until recently by Cadillac's platinum warranty, and runs and drives quite well. Adult-owned, this car hasn't been abused or performance-modified.
No accidents, clean CT title, non-smoker. I have service records too. Comes with two keys (each recalls separate seat/mirror/stereo settings), owners manual, nav DVD.
The skip-shift "feature" that makes you go from 1st to 4th gear under light load has been disabled.
New battery, serpentine belt, brake lines/pads/rotors. Recent new tires (and alignment) too. No slipping from clutch. I had my friend replace the windshield just before I picked it up, so that's new as well.
I've installed a SPEC ipod interface that works great with my ipod 4s (I think it has an aux-in too) - basically plays music (and gps) though the stock stereo using one of the satellite radio slots. I have also installed a costar bluestar device, that disconnects the OnStar service, and instead can bind via bluetooth to any portable device so you can place/take calls using the stereo and the car's built-in microphones.Hard-wired for Passport or Valentine 1 radar detectors - shuts off when the car is off.
Body is very clean and paint is great. There are a few blemishes on the outside (and I'm being pretty picky here):
small crease in top of passenger fender
small scratch on passenger fender
small nick in passenger a-pillar
leading edge of hood has a few nicks but nothing rusting
rear bumper has a little bruise from the first day I had it (backed into a pole at 2mph while getting emissions tested!), and a light scrape from parking.
Driver rear door has a door ding
Rims are in good shape, though some have scratches.
Interior is very clean - some scuff marks on back of front seats (two kids). Buttons are all in great shape (nav unit was replaced because the buttons had peeled).
Drives great - alignment is bang-on with no pulling to the side under any condition. The 6-speed shifts just fine (though not miata-precise, it's fine). No funny sounds or smells, she just goes like stink.
This car was well-taken care of, and it shows. I'm happy to take her to any mechanic within 20 minutes of me for an inspection (on your dime), and please don't make me an offer without having seen the car first.

Cadillac planning its own engines, halo cars
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Cadillac is in the midst of some big changes. It's got a new chief executive. It's taking some distance from parent company General Motors and moving to a new headquarters in New York. And it's instituting a new naming scheme that will allow not only for a more clear progression in its lineup, but also for more models. But that's not the end of the story. Not by a long shot.
Speaking with Automobile magazine, Cadillac's new president Johan de Nysschen revealed his intention to develop several new models and powertrains. For starters, he does not want Cadillac to continue borrowing engines from the GM parts bin, but intends to develop a new range of engines specifically for the luxury automaker. The program will likely start with smaller-capacity engines but eventually lead to new V8s as well, taking the place of the long-serving Northstar engine that finally ended its lifespan a few years ago after some two decades of production. Along with other technologies, de Nysschen envisions possibly sharing these powertrains with other GM divisions, but developing them first and foremost for Cadillac.
The bigger question, however, is where those engines would go, and de Nysschen had some thoughts to share on that front as well. For starters, the former Infiniti and Audi exec sees room for an even bigger sedan above the upcoming new CT6 that will cap the current range. Maybe even two of them. But that's not all. Johan wants to see Cadillac get (back) into the sports car game with a new halo model or two - something it hasn't really done since the Corvette-based XLR roadster. A pair of new crossovers are also said to be in the works, flanking the SRX on both sides with smaller and larger models.
GM recalls Chevy Impala, Cadillac XTS for braking problem
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Back in April, General Motors launched an investigation into braking issues affecting the 2014 Chevy Impala. Now there's a recall of both the Impala and the Cadillac XTS with which it shares its Epsilon II platform.
The issue apparently revolves around the electronic parking brake, which may not properly disengage. As a result, the rear brake pads could rub the rotor even while the vehicle is in motion, causing "significant heat, smoke and sparks." The earlier investigation had been launched following a complaint regarding the forward collision avoidance system, which is now either appears to have been unrelated or possibly a symptom of this larger issue.
The recall affects 2013-15 XTS models manufactured between February 14, 2012, and August 22, 2014, as well as 2014-15 Impalas manufactured between January 15, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The total number of affected vehicles reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration comes to precisely 132,921 units, while The Detroit News reports a higher total of 205,000 units - the difference potentially coming down to the scope within the US and more broadly across North America. Dealers will contact owners to update the software in order to fix the problem.
Carpool Deville aims to be the world's fastest hot tub
Wed, 16 Jul 2014The world needs crazy inventors with wild dreams. While we might not long for the things that they create, their contraptions certainly make the day a little more enjoyable. Take the Carpool Deville as an example. Nobody (well, almost nobody) is asking for a hot tub fashioned from a 1969 Cadillac that is still drivable. But now that you know that such a beast exists, don't try to tell us you aren't at least intrigued.
The team behind the six-year-long project has a pretty ingenious setup worked out. The Caddy's original 472-cubic-inch (7.7-liter) V8 both provides propulsion and heats the water. The interior is entirely replaced with a watertight, fiberglass tub that includes working jets, and the controls are all done by hand.
As if just building a mobile hot tub isn't enough, the team behind the Carpool Deville plans to take it racing too. Specifically, they intend to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats later this year to make a top speed run while immersed in water at over 100 degrees. They even have a roll cage all set to install to meet the safety requirements there.
