Here is a 2008 Cadillac Cts with the best cts-v clone package you will ever find. Not many people can find all the parts that we had to find in order to clone this car, and even if they could find them, not many people would invest the money. I know I can’t get all my money back from what I spent on this car, but its time for me to get a SUV and thus my baby must go. I bought this car from the insurance company back in 2011 when it had about 35,000 miles on it. at that time it had light front end damage to the right front side of the car. The hood, right fender, bumper cover, and cooling needed to be replaced. This car honestly has every option that you could get in 2008. It has moonroof, pop up touch screen radio with navigation, heated and cool seats, HID headlights that turn when you turn the steering wheel, the 3.6 Direct Injection engine, remote start, 18” Polished Aluminum Wheels, and so much more. I love the look of the Cts-v, however I don’t need all that horsepower and I wanted to drive it all year long and thus I needed the All Wheel Drive. I am a woman and I just wanted something that was different from what everyone else had and yet I wanted it to be a safe daily driver year round. Here is a list and cost of all the cts-v parts that I had installed on this car (no modifications were done to the engine):

 

-Cts-v hood $1,000
-Cts-v front bumper cover will grilles $1,500
-Cts-v front impact bar, absorber, fender liners $500
-Cts-v Side Rocker Moldings $400

-Cts-v Rear Bumper Cover $500
-Cts-v inside door panels with dark wood trim $800

-Cts-v Suede Steering wheel and shifter $500
-Cts-v Center stack and center console $400
-Cts-v Brembo Brake Calipers, Rotors, and brake hoses $2,000
-Cts-v Center trunk brake light $300

-Cts-v 3 piece emblem kit on the front doors and trunk $200

-Cts-v Black wheel center caps $100

 

Total cost that I spent to make this car a Cts-v Clone $8,200

 

I wanted to install the cts-v wheels as well, but the problem was that my car is an AWD and needs the front wheels to be the exact same size in the rear of the car. Cts-v wheels are alittle bit smaller in the front then in the rear. so the only way that you could put the cts-v wheels on this car is if you could buy 4 of the cts-v front rims. you can’t use the rears because they are too wide for front use. And to find someone that was willing to sell just the front wheels out of a set of 4 wasn’t going to be easy. and to buy 4 cts-v wheels from GM was going to cost about $2,800 plus the cost of the tires. Then the next issue was going to be the tires themselves. since I wanted to drive this car in the winter, no one makes an affordable winter tire in the size needed to keep the speedometer correct.

 

This car runs and drives great and needs nothing. there is one or two rock chips in the front of the car and there is a mark on the rear bumper cover where I accidently backed into the garage can in my garage. The body shop told me they could repaint the rear bumper cover for about $300 but I just never got around to having it done. If you know anything about these 3.6 engines, they have issues with the timing chains and I did have all of mine replaced with the new updated timing chains. All of my oil changes were done every 7,000 miles with mobil 1 synthetic oil. tires all have about 50-60% life left. The other issue with these cars is with the moonroof, the seal between the two pieces of glass tend to leak air, so you will get a wind noise inside of the car. I had this seal replaced recently as well. It never leaked any water, but you would hear wind at about 60mph.


If for any reason you feel its to much of a risk to bid on this car with out seeing it in person first, then you are more then welcome to contact any shop near me (at your cost) and i will be more then happy to take this car to any shop of your choice for a 3rd party inspection. I do what i can to provide you with all the information i have so it will help you make the best decision you can make. I do my best to be as honest and upfront as i can be. There is nothing wrong with buying a salvage title car, however you will always get the car for less money then a clean title car. Usually you can buy that car for about 70-75% of clean title value, however that number can go up or down depending on supply and demand. Clearly a car like this might be a bit more on the high side, and yet a dodge neon with a salvage title might be a bit more on the low side.

Current Title, The current title is a MINNESOTA PRIOR SALVAGE title. Please check with your state before bidding. Other state's might require something different, so please check before you bid. All sales are final. I will provide you with a bill of sale, title, repair receipts, ect. You shouldn't need anything more then what I listed above, but if there is, let me know and I will do my best to get you anything you need.

Shipping, Shipping is at Buyers expense. If you can't come pick this up in person and you want me to ship it for you, I can set that up. Clearly the farther away you are, the more it's going to cost. Average shipping costs are about $150 in Minnesota, $300 in upper Midwest, $500 to outer Midwest (Texas,Ohio,Montana,Colorado), and coastal areas are about $700-$900. Depending on where you are, it could take anywhere from 2 to 8 business days before you receive this vehicle.

Deposit, After this auction ends, I will need a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit with in 48hrs of the end of this auction. If you come here and decide that you don't want to buy the vehicle for whatever reason, I will refund $250 of that deposit and keep $250. However if you never show up, then I will keep all the $500. Deposit can be Cash in person only, Pay Pal, Certified Bank Check, or a Bank Wire Transfer.

Total Balance Due, Any remaining balance must be paid with in 5 business days of the end of the auction. The balance can ONLY be paid with cash (in person only), wire transfer, or Certified Bank Check. If you do pay with a Certified Bank Check (cashiers check), I will hold the title and receipts for 14 days until that check clears and then mail the title and receipts to you. NO PERSONAL CHECKS!

BALANCE NEEDS TO BE WIRE TRANSFER OR CASHIERS CHECK. NO PERSONAL CHECKS.

I WILL NOT SELL TO SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES UNLESS YOU CAN PAY AMERICAN CASH IN PERSON WHEN YOU COME TO PICK UP THE CAR.

Cadillac CT6 ushers in new naming convention

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Johan de Nysschen has been at his new post as president of Cadillac for not even three months , but he's already seen two of his most notable accomplishments from his two-year tenure as president of Infiniti matched by Cadillac. The brand has announced that it is relocating its headquarters, and is now officially changing its nomenclature.
The brand's new flagship model will abandon the familiar three-letter designation enjoyed by every other model in the range (aside from the Escalade), and adopt an alpha-numeric title. So, rather than the expected title of LTS, Cadillac's top-end car will be called the CT6.
Of course, this won't be limited to just one model. According to Cadillac's press release, "familiar lettering like 'CT' would be used for car models, with the number indicating the relative size and position of the cars in the hierarchy of Cadillac models." And yes, that means what you think it means - Cadillac will use the exact same naming formula, albeit with different letters, as Infiniti.

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

Combative de Nysschen defends Cadillac move, naming change

Mon, 29 Sep 2014


Johan de Nysschen isn't afraid of taking quick, decisive actions, even if they are criticized. Since taking the wheel at Cadillac, he instigated moving the luxury division's base of operations to Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood and introduced a new naming scheme for the future of the brand, like he did at Infiniti. The polarizing boss recently explained his feelings about the future of Cadillac in more depth on his Facebook page, but unfortunately only his friends could read it. Thankfully, Daily Kanban posted much of the strongly worded missive for the whole world to see.
Much of the message examines the decision to move some employees to New York. De Nysschen claims that it's all about giving Cadillac distance from Detroit to reshape itself. It allows for, "No distractions. No side shows. No cross-brand corporate considerations. No homogenized lowest common denominator approach. Just pure, unadulterated, CLASS."
