WHAT MATTERS:

Exceptionally RARE and BEAUTIFUL car!  My wife and I are the first owners of this vehicle and we affectionately refer to her as "Bella".  She is a beauty.  We did a nationwide search for this car to find a CTS loaded up with all the goodies, be black or red, AND have a MANUAL transmission.  My wife and I both love to actually drive a car... and if you are still reading this, you probably know exactly what we are talking about... driving a stick!   So we were elated when we found one... and I mean ONE in the entire COUNTRY that had the navigation package and a stick!  To top things off, it was here in the DFW metroplex where we live!  We had to drive to Atlanta for our last luxury car with a stick!  

We bought Bella as a certified pre-owned vehicle, but she came from the Cadillac Executive Program, so she had never been titled.  The bonus here is that we got a 6 year, 100,000 mile (very similar to a bumper to bumper) warranty that is completely transferrable!!!!  You can purchase this vehicle with absolutely, positively no worries!  Bella has never been hit or involved in any kind of accident.  She has had all scheduled maintenance and has had the oil changed every 3-5 thousand miles (synthetic oil) throughout her life.  Only certified Cadillac service technicians have ever touched her mechanically.

WHY ARE WE SELLING?

The only reason we are selling Bella is... and you won't hear this everyday folks... is that we needed a car to put a lot of miles on to travel to... cat shows!  We have two very exotic kitties and plan to have more and we show them every chance we get.  I've included a pic or our babies as well just for fun.  Anyways, I couldn't justify putting all those miles on Bella, so we got a much less expensive gas sipper to get us around for the next few years, but have to part with a car that we absolutely LOVE... Our beloved Bella.

CONDITION:

MECHANICAL:

Perfect working condition.  Everything still under warranty.  Engine, transmission, electronics... everything... perfect working order.  Recently had new front brakes and new Michelin tires put on all 4 wheels.

INTERIOR:

The overall condition of the interior is IMMACULATE.  PERFECT.  GORGEOUS.  TRUE LUXURY.  Check the pictures... Bella is pretty much flawless inside.  For those worried about a black car with black leather... DON'T... She has air conditioned seats.  The leather is in perfect condition.  Everything works perfectly.  Best of all, it's still under warranty!  Bella has every factory option available except a sunroof.  Navigation, dual climate control, ventilated and heated seats, xenon headlights, automatic headlights, etc, etc, etc... The list goes on and on... She is LOADED and in PERFECT condition!

EXTERIOR:

Mirror finish Black Raven paint... washed and waxed routinely.  Overall, still a beautiful car, but being black in Texas on our roads will cause some blemishes.  Please note that you are not buying a new car.  That being said, I will try to describe all I can, but please check the pics.  If you want additional pics, please let me know.  First, there are rock chips... very fine... not major... but they are there on the nose of the car as well as the lower quarter panels.  The rock chips on the lower quarter panels were put there by a Caddy Exec and existed when we bought her, just fyi. On the front right driver side quarter panel, there is a scratch from where a temporary stop sign fell over on the car.  Not a major scratch, but I thought I'd point it out.  On the Driver side rear quarter panel, just in front of the rear tire, there is a blemish that happened at the DFW airport covered parking.  Evidently, they were cleaning with some kind of chemicals or acid on the level above, and liquid dripped onto the spot.  It has been buffed, compounded, and everything else, but it won't come out.  Again, not major, but a hickey to point out.  On the passenger side rear quarter panel, just before the gas cap, there is the only door ding on the car.  On the front driver side wheel, there are some spots where red hot brake juice from a broken brake line bled onto the wheel and corroded the polished aluminum finish.  This happened the first week we owned the car, and I should have made them replace the wheel, but I didn't.  My bad, but not a real eye sore.

That's really about it that I can see and/or think of.  Again, the car has NEVER been hit in any way.  She is absolutely stunning when clean.  You can see the mirror shine and finish even in blemish photos.  Bella would make a beautiful addition to any home.

OVERALL:  

You can rate this extremely rare and special vehicle however you like, but I would rate her as a 9 out of 10.  Pictures and facts don't lie.  Covered under warranty... perfect interior... and still a really, really pretty girl who runs hard, fast, and precise.  Driver's Wanted for this RARE vehicle!!!  You will not find many of these vehicles, if any, in the entire country.  Whomever is fortunate enough to win our Bella, please take care of this beautiful girl...

Payment in full expected within 3 days.  No games, no hassles... Straight seller looking for a straight buyer.  If you have ANY questions at all, PLEASE let me know.  Good luck stick lovers...

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York

Sat, Apr 4 2015

Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus. View 32 Photos Meanwhile, Cadillac showed the CT6, a finished product that will top its range and is loaded with the best and latest technologies General Motors has at its disposal. With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.

Chip Foose is bringing life to a Cadillac sketch from 1935

Sun, Aug 7 2016

General Motors, automotive home of Harley Earl, was a pioneer in the early days of car design. But for as many wild concept cars and even production cars as the company's studio created, there were still many that never got off the paper. Chip Foose is working to change the fate of one of those designs. According to Foose Design, Chip Foose's latest project is based on a sketch from 1935. Car dealer Wes Rydell and his wife Vivian commissioned a custom Cadillac coupe that was sketched out by GM designer Art Ross. It would take an existing Cadillac sedan, shorten it, lower it and give it a removable hardtop. The drawing is as far as the project got. Now Chip Foose is working on realizing the design in real life using a 1939 Cadillac Series 60 Sedan. He plans to follow the initial design brief, but with his own unique touches. He has also named the project "Madam X" in honor of what Harley Earl would call client projects. It is scheduled to be finished and ready for unveiling at the end of the summer. Foose is a well-known designer who has won some of America's most prestigious custom car awards such as the Ridler Award and designed vehicles for the TV show Overhaulin'. The final product should be quite a striking machine. You can see how it's coming along, as well as Foose's sketch of what the car will finally look like, in the gallery above.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
