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! |

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles
Mon, Oct 19 2015An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'
Mon, Mar 17 2014As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.
