WHAT MATTERS:

Exceptionally RARE and BEAUTIFUL car!  My wife and I are the first owners of this vehicle and we affectionately refer to her as "Bella".  She is a beauty.  We did a nationwide search for this car to find a CTS loaded up with all the goodies, be black or red, AND have a MANUAL transmission.  My wife and I both love to actually drive a car... and if you are still reading this, you probably know exactly what we are talking about... driving a stick!   So we were elated when we found one... and I mean ONE in the entire COUNTRY that had the navigation package and a stick!  To top things off, it was here in the DFW metroplex where we live!  We had to drive to Atlanta for our last luxury car with a stick!  

We bought Bella as a certified pre-owned vehicle, but she came from the Cadillac Executive Program, so she had never been titled.  The bonus here is that we got a 6 year, 100,000 mile (very similar to a bumper to bumper) warranty that is completely transferrable!!!!  You can purchase this vehicle with absolutely, positively no worries!  Bella has never been hit or involved in any kind of accident.  She has had all scheduled maintenance and has had the oil changed every 3-5 thousand miles (synthetic oil) throughout her life.  Only certified Cadillac service technicians have ever touched her mechanically.

WHY ARE WE SELLING?

The only reason we are selling Bella is... and you won't hear this everyday folks... is that we needed a car to put a lot of miles on to travel to... cat shows!  We have two very exotic kitties and plan to have more and we show them every chance we get.  I've included a pic or our babies as well just for fun.  Anyways, I couldn't justify putting all those miles on Bella, so we got a much less expensive gas sipper to get us around for the next few years, but have to part with a car that we absolutely LOVE... Our beloved Bella.

CONDITION:

MECHANICAL:

Perfect working condition.  Everything still under warranty.  Engine, transmission, electronics... everything... perfect working order.  Recently had new front brakes and new Michelin tires put on all 4 wheels.

INTERIOR:

The overall condition of the interior is IMMACULATE.  PERFECT.  GORGEOUS.  TRUE LUXURY.  Check the pictures... Bella is pretty much flawless inside.  For those worried about a black car with black leather... DON'T... She has air conditioned seats.  The leather is in perfect condition.  Everything works perfectly.  Best of all, it's still under warranty!  Bella has every factory option available except a sunroof.  Navigation, dual climate control, ventilated and heated seats, xenon headlights, automatic headlights, etc, etc, etc... The list goes on and on... She is LOADED and in PERFECT condition!

EXTERIOR:

Mirror finish Black Raven paint... washed and waxed routinely.  Overall, still a beautiful car, but being black in Texas on our roads will cause some blemishes.  Please note that you are not buying a new car.  That being said, I will try to describe all I can, but please check the pics.  If you want additional pics, please let me know.  First, there are rock chips... very fine... not major... but they are there on the nose of the car as well as the lower quarter panels.  The rock chips on the lower quarter panels were put there by a Caddy Exec and existed when we bought her, just fyi. On the front right driver side quarter panel, there is a scratch from where a temporary stop sign fell over on the car.  Not a major scratch, but I thought I'd point it out.  On the Driver side rear quarter panel, just in front of the rear tire, there is a blemish that happened at the DFW airport covered parking.  Evidently, they were cleaning with some kind of chemicals or acid on the level above, and liquid dripped onto the spot.  It has been buffed, compounded, and everything else, but it won't come out.  Again, not major, but a hickey to point out.  On the passenger side rear quarter panel, just before the gas cap, there is the only door ding on the car.  On the front driver side wheel, there are some spots where red hot brake juice from a broken brake line bled onto the wheel and corroded the polished aluminum finish.  This happened the first week we owned the car, and I should have made them replace the wheel, but I didn't.  My bad, but not a real eye sore.

That's really about it that I can see and/or think of.  Again, the car has NEVER been hit in any way.  She is absolutely stunning when clean.  You can see the mirror shine and finish even in blemish photos.  Bella would make a beautiful addition to any home.

OVERALL:  

You can rate this extremely rare and special vehicle however you like, but I would rate her as a 9 out of 10.  Pictures and facts don't lie.  Covered under warranty... perfect interior... and still a really, really pretty girl who runs hard, fast, and precise.  Driver's Wanted for this RARE vehicle!!!  You will not find many of these vehicles, if any, in the entire country.  Whomever is fortunate enough to win our Bella, please take care of this beautiful girl...

Payment in full expected within 3 days.  No games, no hassles... Straight seller looking for a straight buyer.  If you have ANY questions at all, PLEASE let me know.  Good luck stick lovers...

Cadillac says it made CUE infotainment a lot better

Wed, Feb 22 2017

We've never been huge fans of CUE, the Cadillac User Experience infotainment interface. It's been around a few years now, and the best thing we can say for it is that it now supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, making it easy enough to replace most of the interface with a familiar smartphone-based system. Now Cadillac has made some big upgrades to the system that should address at least some of our concerns. First and foremost, the system is claimed to be more intuitive, with a more logical interface design. Cadillac has added a Summary View that gives an overview of the climate, media, navigation, and phone all at the same time. The system will also be able to receive over-the-air updates, allowing Cadillac to make improvements more often and push them out to owners' cars, mush like Tesla and other automakers already do. The 4G LTE connection will also be used to connect the car with the cloud, where drivers can store and modify their own personalized set of settings. This My Driver Preferences profile will include things like contacts, navigation preferences, and recent destinations, and will also follow them from one car equipped with the system to another. That should come in handy for anyone subscribing to the $1,500-a-month Book by Cadillac vehicle subscription service, which allows participants to swap between cars when they choose. The cloud connection will also carry over to a new available navigation function, which Cadillac claims has a more intuitive, smartphone-like interface. It uses its data connection to provide current destination info and is supposed to learn a driver's habits, such as their preferred routes and frequent destinations, which the system will then attempt to offer up predictively – so the car should be able to know that you're heading home at 5:00. Additional apps for the system will be available through Cadillac's new Collection app store. And it's still compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. One sore spot that appears to have been improved is the digital gauge package, although Cadillac hasn't offered details on that extension of the system. The current iteration's ability to over-customize the interface (our personal favorite is the option to display a total of four speedometers between the head-up display and the gauge screen; see video below) and unintuitive controls make it difficult to use and learn, while the simulated gauges don't look particularly realistic.

Cadillac CT6 styling will be evolutionary, not like Elmiraj

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Well, this is at least a little disappointing. It turns out Cadillac's long-awaited flagship, the CT6, won't be ushering in a wholesale change in the company's design. That's coming from GM Design guru Ed Welburn, meaning it should be taken as gospel (unless of course he's just trying to hoodwink us). "It'll be different and it will certainly stand out in the portfolio," Welburn told Automotive News. "But you won't see a real shift in direction." Instead, Art and Science will be shown in yet another new form, and will "continue to evolve," according to Welburn, although what that means is unclear. What we can say for certain, though, is that Art and Science on the CT6 will not evolve into the stunning Elmiraj Concept. "I think Elmiraj was more of an influence on some other things we're working on for Cadillac," Welburn said, we're guessing with a smirk and an air of mystery. Considering we have yet to see the CT6, it's hard to tell whether this will be good news or bad, although based on the critical reception to the Elmiraj, we're a little bit disappointed by Welburn's statements. Still, only time will tell whether the styling of the CT6 will really work out.

Book by Cadillac is like a streaming service for cars

Thu, Jan 5 2017

Cadillac is launching a subscription-based service that gives users access to most of its models for a flat fee of $1,500 a month. Called Book by Cadillac, the program starts in February in New York City and its surrounding areas. Cadillac's goal: attract users who want flexibility without the costs and commitment of ownership. The monthly fee is steep, but Cadillac argues it's competitive with the cost of leasing a well-equipped luxury car. It also includes maintenance, taxes, and insurance fees. The Book service can also be stopped at any time, which frees users from any payments. There's no restrictions on mileage, though users pay for gas either by filling up the car when they're done with it or through a Caddy concierge who bills their account. Cadillac will deliver and pick up the vehicles from the user's choice of location via a white-gloved driver. Users can change vehicles up to 18 times per year, and they can be reserved with a mobile app. The theoretical goal is a Book user could head to the airport in New York in a Cadillac and reserve another one for their use in Los Angeles. Cadillac ran a test program last year and decided to move forward with Book after receiving a positive response on the price and features. "The overwhelming result is this is something competitive," spokesman Eneuri Acosta said. The program features the Escalade, Escalade ESV, CT6, CTS-V, ATS-V, and XT5 decked-out in Platinum trim. Other vehicles, like the non-V-series ATS or CTS could be added if there's demand. Book by Cadillac starts in New York, but will expand to other unspecified markets. Related Video:
