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 -

KW Variant 3 coilover suspension kit. The car handles like a go-kart with this suspension kit and it allows you to adjust the ride height. I have the car lowered about as low as you can go without rubbing the tires. I did have it to low at first and the front tires rubbed on the fender lips. If you look real close you can see where they rubbed, not really noticable unless you're looking for it. It does ride a little stiffer with this kit installed, don't expect the Cadillac ride. The original suspension parts are included if you would prefer to change it back. These kits are around $2,500.
Eibach front and rear sway bars. Helps give it that go-kart handling, very little body roll. Cost around $300.
High flow catalytic converters. The check engine light is caused by these. Cost around $300.
Borla cat-back exhaust. I checked all the cat-back systems before I bought the Borla. Borla has a rich, deep throaty sound. Cost around $1,300.
Ported and polished throttle body. Cost around $200.
Volant cold air intake. Cost around $250.
Chrome Cadillac wheels. A lot of guys like the blackout look but I'm a chrome guy. I think they look awesome. Cost around $800.
Rear spoiler painted to match. Cost around $250.
The tires are fairly new. Michelin Primacy MXV4s bought in March of 2013 when the car had around 77,000 miles on it. I've bought cheaper tires before and regretted it. Decided to spend the extra money and go with Michelins this time. These are a 60,000 mile tire and they have around 9,000 miles on them. Cost around $1,100.
Since these cars originally come with run-flat tires they don't have a spare. I didn't like that so I got another CTS-V wheel and the right size tire so it now has a full size spare tire and wheel.
Weathertech floor mats. I also have the original tan mats that are in good shape and will be included.

If you add it all up there are around $5,800 worth of extras already added and installed on the car not counting the tires. Tires are kind of a regular maintenance item, not an extra. I have all the original parts if you want to take any of it off. I do have the original exhaust but it's all one piece and pretty big. The rest of the parts are easy to transport. I've always run premium fuel in the car and changed the oil regularly with Mobil 1 synthetic oil. I've had fun with the car but haven't abused it at all. It gets great mileage, took it on a road trip last year and averaged 24 mpg cruising at 80-85 mph. The mileage in the picture is as of 10/27/13. I'm not driving it much now but it may change a little by the end of the auction.

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'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.

Cadillac ELR next EV to get Plugless Power wireless charging tech

Mon, Jul 28 2014

Evatran has been testing its Plugless Power wireless charging systems for electric vehicles in the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf for years now and made the tech commercially available early this year. With the growth of the EV market, Evatran is getting ready to expand as well. The company announced today that it will add three premium EVs to the Plugless Power system by the end of the year, with the first (and so far only) named model being the Cadillac ELR. We expect it was not difficult for Evatran to adapt the Plugless Power system to the ELR, since the vehicle's powertrain is so similar to the one in the Volt. The main problem we see is that Cadillac has only sold 390 ELRs (as of the end of June), so this first Plugless Power expansion isn't exactly going to ignite sales, even if every ELR owner opts for the cool tech. If one of the next two announcement is for the Tesla Model S, though, then you're talking numbers. Speaking of the future, what models do you think will be next? The Plugless Power L2 wireless systems were recently declared safe by the Intertek and start at $2,470, not including installation or government incentives. All the online/smartphone connectivity features that work with the car when it's got a cord stuck in it work with the L2 system, Evatran says. Orders start today, and the ELR package will be available September 1. There's more, including a local news report on the technology, below. WSLS 10 NBC in Roanoke/Lynchburg Va Wireless Vehicle Charging available to Cadillac ELR owners starting September 1st The Cadillac ELR Joins the Growing List of Compatible Electric Vehicle ("EV") Models from Evatran, the World Leader in High-Power Wireless Charging RICHMOND, VA July 28, 2014 – In an exciting statement today, Evatran Group, Inc. ("Evatran"), announced that its PLUGLESS wireless charging technology would soon be available on the Cadillac ELR. Evatran, the first Company in the world to make wireless charging available to individual EV drivers, currently has systems that are compatible with the Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Volt. The Cadillac ELR is the first model to be announced in what is intended to be three new premium model announcements by the end of 2014. Evatran will begin accepting advanced orders today for deliveries as soon as September 1st. "The launch of the Cadillac ELR system is an important milestone for us," commented Rebecca Hough, Evatran CEO and Co-Founder.

South Dakota dealer filled to brim with classic cars

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Other than the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Mount Rushmore, South Dakota isn't generally a hot topic, but that just means that cool stuff can hide in the open waiting to be discovered. Case in point: the classic car dealer Frankman Motor Company that operates three locations in Sioux Falls, SD.
Unearthed by the folks at Bring a Trailer, Frankman is a treasure trove of vintage, American iron. Their collection is full of the type of vehicles your irresponsible but cool uncle would show up with when you were a kid. Even better, these cars are priced at a level a working man can afford.
If you are lusting about a cruiser then Frankman has a 1956 Cadillac Deville Hard Top Sedan (pictured right) with 82,896 miles for $12,975. It's painted a color called Cascade Grey, but looks more like a pastel purple in pictures. While it needs some repairs to the accessories, the Caddy runs and drives, which is all you really need.
