2005 Cadillac Cts-v, Stealth Gray, Adult Owned, Extras, Buy-back Title on 2040-cars
Kennewick, Washington, United States
Here is a loaded adult owned, non-abused 2005 Cadilac CTS-V in Stealth Gray with tan interior. I bought this car in January of 2011 with 40,558 miles on it and it has been my daily year round driver ever since. If you're looking at this auction you probably already know the car has a 5.7 liter LS-6 Corvette engine and a six speed manual transmission. The car was rated from the factory at 400 horsepower, this one has a little more with the extras listed below. The car is simply a blast to drive, I honestly look forward to driving it every time I get in.
First of all, here's the story on the title. As I'm sure you are, I was concerned about the title when I bought the car. If you look at the CARFAX you'll see that the car was first purchased in California in July of 2006. The car was taken in for service seven times before the manufacturer buyback title was issued in February of 2008. On the Warranty Buyback Notice the problems reported by the owner were "Engine makes clunk noise, vehicle battery inoperable and various warning lamps are on". The repairs made to correct the problem are stated as "Replaced battery, reset tire monitor, no clunk noise from the engine. Vehicle operating as designed". I have put over 45,000 miles on the car and have never heard any unusual engine noises or had any problems with the battery. There were no warning lights on when I bought the car. There is currently a check engine light on due to the high flow catalytic converters I installed. The original catalytic converters are included if you want to re-install them and get rid of the warning light. I included copies of the Warranty Buyback Notice and the scan I recently had done for the warning light for verification. Realize that most lenders will not loan money on a vehicle with a branded title. If you are planning on financing this vehicle please arrange financing before you bid. My opinion on the title situation is the owner at the time was looking for a reason to get out of the car or had some sort of grudge against the dealer and forced them to buy back the car for trivial reasons. I have owned the car for almost three years now and put over 45,000 miles on it. It's been my daily driver year round and I have not had one problem with it. I've put a lot of extras on the car to increase the horsepower a little and just to make it the way I want it. All were done right and made the car more enjoyable. They include -
The only bad parts on the car are a small scratch on the trunk lid (see pic), a plastic piece on the drivers seat is cracked (see pic) and the tires rubbed on the front fender lips when I had the suspension to low (not really noticable, just wanted to mention). The seats are good, just normal wear. The car is located in Kennewick, Washington. if you're nearby you are welcome to come look and test drive the car. I will help with shipping as much as I can but all shipping arrangements and cost are the buyer's responsibility. If you want to drive it home the car needs nothing, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. $500 deposit required within 48 hours of auction close, prefer to receive that via Paypal. Remainder due within seven days by Cashier's Check or cash. The car is listed for sale locally and the seller reserves the right to end the auction at any time. This has been a great car for me and I hate to sell it but priorities change. There is not a thing wrong with the car, I'd drive it anywhere. If you have any questions at all please ask. If the title bothers you I understand but I know there isn't a thing wrong with this car. I know you'll love it as much as I do. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

Almost half of US Cadillac dealers say no to ELR plug-in hybrid
Wed, Feb 19 2014If you've got $75,995 (or so) burning a hole in your pocket and a hankering for the new Cadillac ELR, you'd better call your local dealer before you burn up shoe leather and gasoline to head down there. According to a report on Edmunds, only about 56 percent of the brand's 940 dealers have signed up to carry the premium plug-in hybrid. As much as we'd like to see the more affluent among us driving on electricity, we can certainly understand the dealers' apparent lack of enthusiasm. The article cites costs of up to $15,000 for tools and training to sell the ELR. Show floor real estate is another consideration for dealers who aren't enthusiastic about sacrificing space for a for a vehicle with initial sales – just 46 units nationwide in the first two months, but that volume is expected to increase – that are as mediocre as our first drive impressions. Still, for those locations that co-habitate with Chevrolet dealers who already participate in the Volt program, the extra expenditure shouldn't be too onerous. The two vehicles share the same basic electro-mechanical drivetrain, so those dealerships should have most of the needed infrastructure already in place. The bulk of ELR sales, according to Cadillac's global marketing director Jim Vurpillat, are expected to be in along the coasts, in places like California, Miami and New York.

Cadillac to recall 20,000 SRX models over wheels that could fall off
Thu, 23 May 2013A potential issue with the lug nuts on 19,871 units of the 2013 Cadillac SRX in the US and Canada has lead to a recall of the luxury crossover. Those lug nuts that have a Teflon topcoat, identified by their bluish tint, could loosen and cause "creaking, rattling or grinding noises or steering vibrations." In the worst case scenario, a wheel could fall off, but there have been no reports of that happening, nor any reports of accidents or injuries due to the issue.
This is the second recall action on the SRX over the last few months. In March, Cadillac recalled 27,000 SRX models over a transmission programming issue. General Motors will begin notifying customers with the potentially faulty parts on June 3, at which time they can take their vehicles to dealers to have the tires rotated and new nuts installed. A further 7,397 SRXs exported from North America also face the recall action.
Five awesome Lego car creations
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Lego cars are among our favorite toys. They're fun for play, and if built properly, great to display. With that in mind, we've crafted a list of some of the best creations we've seen. Some are on sale now, while others are merely the work of fanciful enthusiasts. There are even a couple that you definitely cannot buy (we'll explain).
Our choices are diverse, including everything from a diminutive 1969 Chevy Corvette to a fullsize Ferrari Formula One racecar. These are just five projects that caught our eye - there are many more out there - so if you don't see your favorite Lego car on the list (or if you have your own creation), please tell us about it, in Comments.
