Up for auction is my 2005 Cadillac STS
which I used as my daily driver the past 2 years (My new DD is a 2013 Lincoln
MKZ Hybrid). I bought the STS in 2012 with close to 70k miles and put on an
additional 45k. As with all of my cars, this STS was babied throughout my
entire ownership. I'm the guy that always chooses the parking space away from
all of the other cars. I only use premium gasoline (89 octane or higher) and all
my maintenance was performed at Suburban Cadillac (dealership) of Troy MI. I
had OEM brakes and top of the line Michilin MXM4 tires installed just over a
year ago at Sears Auto in Troy. Cosmetically, there are no door dings
at all. As stated earlier, I go through great lengths to preserve what I have
and take great pride in ownership. I always wax and maintain the paint and
people always comment on this cars color (Blue Chip Metallic - cost extra). The
paint richness is really deep and shows no fading anywhere. As with the
exterior, the interior is in excellent shape. The back seats look like they've
never been sat in. I'm not a smoker and the two previous owners before me -
likewise. Overall, this Cadillac shows it has had a pampered lifetime so far.
It has never been in an accident. I will email a copy of the carfax if
requested.
My commute everyday is 30 miles each
way so I have put on a decent amount of miles in the past two years. All of
(nearly 90%) of my driving is expressway (I-75 from Clarkston to Troy MI). I do
have a fair amount of stone chips in the front bumper which I have personally
touched up. Mechanically, as I stated earlier, I
always had my car serviced at the dealership (other than brakes and tires). I
only use Mobil 1 oil for oil changes. I keep my service records and oil change
receipts. The battery is a little over a year old (Purchased at interstate
battery). Recent maintenance performed at Suburban Cadillac over this winter
was a coolant/transmission fluid flush as recommended by my maintenance
schedule.
About a year and a half ago I had to
have a new throttle body installed. The only other "big fix" was two
sensors that needed replacing in the engine. I asked them to check everything else
when they were inside and nothing needed fixing. My bill for that was around
$1800. The tires and brakes were over $2500 as I used OEM Factory parts.
Calipers/Pads/Etc (FULL JOB). The only issues I've ever encountered
with this STS is a minor vibration when I'm idling at a stop light if I have
the heated seats going plus window defroster/other electrical draw. Maybe this
is a loose engine mount? I've never requested to get this checked because it is
a rare occurrence and doesn't affect safety/performance. Also, the last time I
had the car serviced, I was told that my water pump was ever so slightly
starting to leak. I asked if it was something that needed to be replaced and
they said it still has a good few years left in it and the leak was very minor.
If I didn't already have plans to purchase a new car I would have definitely
had this addressed. The back seat ashtray hinge is not connected properly so
sometimes it falls off track if you open it. Lastly, there appears to be two of
the really small led lights burnt out in my rear right taillight (hardly noticeable). All in all, I absolutely love this
car. It's VERY peppy with the N* V8 and fun to drive with the Rear Wheel Drive
train. This STS is all stock with no aftermarket anything installed. I was
considering buying one of those E&G aftermarket mesh grills but I decided
to keep it stock. It is; however, about as close to fully optioned you could
get for the year and the original purchaser paid extra for various options
including the Blue chip paint. Everything works. Shifts smooth, A/C
blows ice cold, everything electrical works fine. Feel free to contact me to discuss
this car further if you would like. The car will be available for test drives/inspections.
Please contact me to set something up. The car has a CLEAR Michigan Title in
my name. I require a deposit of $1,000 at the end of the auction and the remainder within 3 days (I am flexible if need be). Thanks and good luck on your bidding!                                   |

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere
Sun, 24 Mar 2013The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders. They're similar to the lighting design first shown on the XTS and ATS, except the lower portions are much taller.
There are also views of the rear end and one of the taillights, as well as an interior shot of the front passenger door. The latter image has us most intrigued, as it shows some very high end materials being used in the new CTS interior. The low-gloss wood trim, in particular, looks very premium.
2014 Cadillac CTS starts $7k higher than last model at $46,025*
Thu, 13 Jun 2013The 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.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
