Excellent Condition, LOW MILES - 71,765 miles!  (Miles may increase slightly due to occasional drives.)  NorthStar V8 ENGINE, Moonroof, Heated Leather Seats, Top of the line Bose 5.1 Theater Sound System with 15 speakers (including Subwoofer), Navigation System, On-Star Communications System, Hands-free cellular phone capability, 17" Wheels, New set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus tires (less than 3,000 miles), size 245/50R17, V-Rated, with new rear disc brakes.  The Temporary Spare Tire has never been on the road or removed from its under-floor space in the fully-lined trunk.

This was my mother-in-law's car.  She bought it outright, nearly new, with a lien-free title.  Over the next few years she kept it completely maintained by the local Cadillac dealer (who will vouch for its regular maintenance, supported by a thick bundle of receipts that will go with the car), garaged it all the time, and always babied it.  Now that Mother no longer drives, this has become an extra car for us, so we are selling it to free up garage space for our cars.

There are NO DOCUMENTARY FEES as found in other car ads. 

We have the clear, lien-free title (not a flood or salvage title).  We are located in Abilene, Texas, 150 miles West of Fort Worth/150 miles East of Midland, Texas on Interstate 20.  Abilene Regional Airport is served by an American Airlines subsidiary carrier with 8 flights in/out per day.  If you want to fly in, we will pick you up at the airport at no charge.  Our region seldom experiences ice or snow and is in a drought with very little rainfall, even by our standards.  That has been the case since Mother bought it and there is obviously no rust or other weather-related issues of any type.

1SE equipment package is a thoroughly comprehensive equipment package offered by Cadillac.  

OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE:  Power Leather Heated Driver & Passenger Seats along with Heated Rear Seats, Satellite Radio, 2 Keyless Entry Key Fobs with Remote Engine Start, door lock & unlock, and trunk unlock, Triple Zone A/C, Remote Trunk Release button, Child Safety Locks, Steering Wheel Controls, Driver Information Center with MPG indicator (excellent mileage), tire and engine monitors, etc., Memory Driver's Seat (which controls seat, side-view mirrors, Heating/Air Conditioning, and Bose system), Keyless Push Button Start, & Heated Outside Rear View Mirrors.

OTHER OPTIONS & FEATURES
BOSE 6-disc in-dash CD/DVD changer, Power Tilt & Telescopic Steering Wheel, 
back-up distance sensors with warning lights and sounds, called Park Distance Control by many, luxurious carpeted Floor Mats, Cargo Net, Built-in Garage Openers, dual, lighted vanity mirrors in sunshades, Owner's Manuals and Books, & NorthStar V8 Engine with 320 HP at 6400 RPM* (what a pleasure to drive with this engine - plenty of passing power!).  This car has a lot of Cadillac features, so please ask, if I've missed something.  The car probably has it, but ask to be sure. 

Please remember this is a 2008 model and is not new.  Although the car is a very clean, low mileage car, the car does have a small number of scratches, dings, or nicks.  There certainly aren't very many.  We would rather have the new owner more satisfied than expected!

You are more than welcome to see the car in person, before completing the transaction.  There will be a $500 Paypal deposit due within 24 hours that will be credited to the final price.

The oil and filter were recently changed with Mobile 1 oil by the local Cadillac dealer (Lawrence Hall, Abilene), who also checked the car over just before its extended warranty expired in May, 2014.  The car is being sold As-Is, with no factory warranty remaining. 

Certified funds or Bank Wire Transfer only.

Highlights of Edmunds 2008 Cadillac STS Review

What's New for 2008

The 2008 Cadillac STS has been significantly updated with revised styling and a more luxuriously trimmed interior and a six-speed automatic transmission.

Introduction

The 2008 Cadillac STS slots in between the inexplicably top-selling DTS land yacht sedan and the sporty midsize CTS. To keep pace with its more attention-grabbing sibling (as well as other larger luxury sport sedans), the 2008 Cadillac STS has been revised inside and out. The wide, two-level egg-crate grille is particularly striking, and the improved cabin trim is bound to get the attention of full-size luxury car shoppers.

We've always liked the current STS, and the revised 2008 edition makes it even more endearing. Meanwhile, the STS' ride and handling continues to impress with moves that almost make you forget you're driving a sedan that's 6 inches longer and 200 pounds heavier than an E350. Having a price that undercuts the competition by thousands doesn't hurt either.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2008 Cadillac STS is a large luxury sport sedan available in V6 and V8 models. Both versions feature 17-inch wheels, leather seating, wood and alloy-look interior trim, eight-way power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry and vehicle start, satellite radio, an eight-speaker Bose sound system and OnStar. The V8 version adds a CD changer, memory seating presets, heated seats (front and rear), a heated steering wheel and rain-sensing wipers.

Other features available on both models (in packages or as a la carte items) include a sunroof, xenon headlamps, and heated front and rear seats. The navigation system is bundled with a Bose surround-sound audio system. (Seller's note:  This STS has all of the foregoing.)

Powertrains and Performance

The optional engine choice is a 4.6-liter V8 making 320 hp and 315 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come only with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Safety

Antilock disc brakes, stability control and a full complement of airbags are standard on every Cadillac STS. The airbags include front-seat side and full-length side curtains. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset crash testing, the STS scored a rating of "Good," the highest possible. It scored a second-best rating of "Acceptable" for side-impact protection.

Interior Design and Special Features

Cadillac snazzed up the STS interior significantly for 2008 with higher-quality wood and the addition of tasteful alloy trim. A sporty new steering wheel looks and feels better, while more wheel-mounted controls have been added. The good fit and finish remains and luxury buyers should be pleased with this Cadillac's generally high-class ambience. Controls are straightforward and easy to use, with the exception of the confounding memory-setting procedure for the driver seat, mirrors, radio and climate controls. Unlike traditional systems, which place buttons on the door or driver seat, you must dive deep into the navigation touchscreen to set memory functions. It's frustrating and unnecessarily complicated, but at least it's something done only occasionally.

Driving Impressions

Although large in size, the 2008 Cadillac STS sedan feels three-fourths its size when driven with enthusiasm, yet it rides like a supple luxury car when you're gobbling up the miles on the highway. Braking is strong as well, with progressive pedal action and an impressively short 120-foot stopping distance from 60 mph.

Cadillac's Euro reboot may have implications for US models, sales

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Firmly on the comeback trail in the US, Cadillac is still trying to get out of the starting blocks in Europe. At the Geneva Motor Show in March, Cadillac' senior execs revealed plans to grow the brand's presence in a luxury market dominated by the big three German marques, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
GM President Dan Ammann says he sees "enormous" potential for Cadillac globally.
Over the past 20 years, the General Motors premium nameplate has tried and failed multiple times to break into the European market. This time around, Cadillac recognizes that progress will be modest at best, and depends on specific changes to models, some of which may impact the brand's US lineup. Planned new sales tactics in Europe may also impact the way Cadillac does business on this side of the pond.

General Motors Recall List

Wed, Oct 22 2014

It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement.
