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! |

Cadillac CTS-V, ATS-V special editions celebrate IMSA titles
Mon, Dec 4 2017This was Cadillac's first year of competition for its DPi-V.R. Daytona Prototype race car in the IMSA Endurance Championship, and it brought home both the manufacturer title and driver title. To celebrate the occasion, Cadillac has created special editions of its fastest road cars, the CTS-V and ATS-V, and their defining features are stickers. Yes, the most unique part of these special Cadillacs is a decal package. But it is an attractive one, with white, gray, silver and red accents inspired by the race car. They're complemented by either a black or white paint job and red side mirrors. The rear quarter windows also get little stickers of the race car's silhouette. Though the stickers are the defining trait of these special-edition cars, they aren't the only features. The CTS-V and ATS-V each come bundled with an array of other features such as a sunroof, the carbon fiber exterior accent package, and a red and black interior that features red-accented carbon fiber trim and Recaro seats. Available as additional options are an eight-speed automatic for the ATS-V, a performance data recorder and a suede steering wheel and shift knob. The other neat tidbit is that, if those extra features are must-haves, the IMSA edition ATS-V is the way to go. The $72,190 price for the sedan is almost $2,000 less than an equivalent standard ATS-V sedan. The regular ATS-V sedan also isn't available with the red and black interior. The special-edition ATS-V coupe starts at $74,390, which is a little over $1,000 more than an equivalent normal ATS-V coupe. Unfortunately for CTS-V buyers, the IMSA edition model, at $105,730, is pricier than optioning up a regular CTS-V. So in that case, you'll have to decide whether the decals and exclusivity are worth it.

Cadillac picks Publicis as new agency of record, continues cutting ties with Campbell Ewald
Fri, Dec 5 2014Cadillac is setting itself up for major changes in the coming years with its decision to hire Johan de Nysschen as the brand's new boss and moving some of the staff to new digs in the trendy SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. With those two big shifts in place, there's one more on the way with the company's announcement that Publicis Worldwide is now its global creative agency of record, effective immediately. The firm replaces former, long-time General Motors associate Campbell-Ewald; now a portion of Lowe and Partners. "This appointment is designed to accelerate the global expansion and elevation of Cadillac into a truly global luxury brand," said Cadillac Chief Marketing Officer Uwe Ellinghaus in the company's announcement. "We have spent much of this year refocusing on the core values of our brand." Although, some work may remain at Lowe and Partners for now. According to Cadillac spokesperson David Caldwell via email to Autoblog: "The bulk of work makes this shift. It is possible that maybe a small individual smaller project or two might still be handled by Lowe. Not certain yet." The fruit of this new partnership shouldn't take long to mature, either. "We will have substantially new marketing and brand identity work in early 2015." said Caldwell. According to Ad Age, Cadillac's advertising had been handled by Lowe and Partners, Campbell-Ewald in Detroit (now entirely part of Lowe) and Hill Holiday. Caddy had a relationship with the agency since 2013 but has changed firms several times in 2006. GM had a long collaboration with Campbell-Ewald, though. Chevrolet was its partner for nearly a century until the automaker also jumped to Publicis in 2010. The firm was responsible for campaigns like, "The Heartbeat of America", "Like A Rock" and "An American Revolution." Scroll down to read Cadillac's full announcement of the change. Cadillac Appoints Publicis Worldwide 2014-12-04 DETROIT – Cadillac announced today the appointment of Publicis Worldwide as its global creative agency of record. Publicis Worldwide is the largest creative agency of the Publicis Groupe network and its appointment to Cadillac is effective immediately. A fully dedicated team, comprising key managers from Publicis Worldwide, will lead the account and have access to specialist and premium resources within the larger Publicis Groupe.
Cadillac launches ATS-V, CTS-V Crystal White Frost editions
Sun, Oct 18 2015With power and performance enough to challenge the best that Europe and Japan have to offer, buyers in the luxury performance market shouldn't need much more reason to consider a new Cadillac ATS-V or CTS-V. But to make its fastest models that much more enticing, Cadillac is rolling out the new Crystal White Frost editions you see here. Available on the ATS-V coupe, ATS-V sedan, or CTS-V sedan (pictured), the new Crystal White Frost Edition models feature unique matte-finish white paint. They also get special wheels and the Carbon Fiber and Luxury packages as standard. Other equipment like Recaro buckets and microfiber-trimmed control surfaces are also available, among other options. GM's luxury division will only make 99 examples available across the three models – 39 ATS-V coupes, 31 ATS-V sedans, and 29 CTS-V sedans. So if you want to get your hands on one, you may have to act faster than these forced-induction performance machines will muscle their way around the track. Prices start at $71,460 for the smaller sedan and extend up to $94,900 for the larger one – those prices including destination but not taxes, registration, and other fees. For a full rundown of the equipment included and available, scope out the detailed press release below.
