Accident Free

Up for auction is my 2005 Cadillac STS which I used as my daily driver the past 2 years (My new DD is a 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid). I bought the STS in 2012 with close to 70k miles and put on an additional 45k. As with all of my cars, this STS was babied throughout my entire ownership. I'm the guy that always chooses the parking space away from all of the other cars. I only use premium gasoline (89 octane or higher) and all my maintenance was performed at Suburban Cadillac (dealership) of Troy MI. I had OEM brakes and top of the line Michilin MXM4 tires installed just over a year ago at Sears Auto in Troy.

Cosmetically, there are no door dings at all. As stated earlier, I go through great lengths to preserve what I have and take great pride in ownership. I always wax and maintain the paint and people always comment on this cars color (Blue Chip Metallic - cost extra). The paint richness is really deep and shows no fading anywhere. As with the exterior, the interior is in excellent shape. The back seats look like they've never been sat in. I'm not a smoker and the two previous owners before me - likewise. Overall, this Cadillac shows it has had a pampered lifetime so far. It has never been in an accident. I will email a copy of the carfax if requested.

My commute everyday is 30 miles each way so I have put on a decent amount of miles in the past two years. All of (nearly 90%) of my driving is expressway (I-75 from Clarkston to Troy MI). I do have a fair amount of stone chips in the front bumper which I have personally touched up.

Mechanically, as I stated earlier, I always had my car serviced at the dealership (other than brakes and tires). I only use Mobil 1 oil for oil changes. I keep my service records and oil change receipts. The battery is a little over a year old (Purchased at interstate battery). Recent maintenance performed at Suburban Cadillac over this winter was a coolant/transmission fluid flush as recommended by my maintenance schedule.

About a year and a half ago I had to have a new throttle body installed. The only other "big fix" was two sensors that needed replacing in the engine. I asked them to check everything else when they were inside and nothing needed fixing. My bill for that was around $1800. The tires and brakes were over $2500 as I used OEM Factory parts. Calipers/Pads/Etc (FULL JOB).

The only issues I've ever encountered with this STS is a minor vibration when I'm idling at a stop light if I have the heated seats going plus window defroster/other electrical draw. Maybe this is a loose engine mount? I've never requested to get this checked because it is a rare occurrence and doesn't affect safety/performance. Also, the last time I had the car serviced, I was told that my water pump was ever so slightly starting to leak. I asked if it was something that needed to be replaced and they said it still has a good few years left in it and the leak was very minor. If I didn't already have plans to purchase a new car I would have definitely had this addressed. The back seat ashtray hinge is not connected properly so sometimes it falls off track if you open it. Lastly, there appears to be two of the really small led lights burnt out in my rear right taillight (hardly noticeable).

All in all, I absolutely love this car. It's VERY peppy with the N* V8 and fun to drive with the Rear Wheel Drive train. This STS is all stock with no aftermarket anything installed. I was considering buying one of those E&G aftermarket mesh grills but I decided to keep it stock. It is; however, about as close to fully optioned you could get for the year and the original purchaser paid extra for various options including the Blue chip paint.

Everything works. Shifts smooth, A/C blows ice cold, everything electrical works fine.

Feel free to contact me to discuss this car further if you would like. The car will be available for test drives/inspections. Please contact me to set something up.

The car has a CLEAR Michigan Title in my name.

I require a deposit of $1,000 at the end of the auction and the remainder within 3 days (I am flexible if need be).

Thanks and good luck on your bidding!

Watch the 2014 Cadillac CTS get its groove on in the rain

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

In case you haven't got enough of the 2014 Cadillac CTS that just debuted at the New York Auto Show, Cadillac has let us have some rolling footage of the car around its test track along with a few words from VP of marketing Don Butler and executive director of design Mark Adams.
You won't learn much more about its 420-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 but you can hear how it growls in the rain, and you can get a better idea of how you'll look in the driver's seat giving it a workout. That's got to be worth something, right? You'll find both videos just below.

Frustrated GM investors ask what more Mary Barra can do

Mon, Oct 22 2018

DETROIT — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra has transformed the No. 1 U.S. automaker in her almost five years in charge, but that is still not enough to satisfy investors. Ahead of third-quarter results due on Oct. 31, GM shares are trading about 6 percent below the $33 per share price at which they launched in 2010 in a post-bankruptcy initial public offering. The Detroit carmaker's stock is down 22 percent since Barra took over in January 2014. After hitting an all-time high of $46.48 on Oct. 24, 2017, the shares have declined 33 percent. In the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed 7.8 percent. Several shareholders contacted by Reuters said GM could face a third major action by activist shareholders in less than four years if the share price does not improve. "I've been expecting it," said John Levin, chairman of Levin Capital Strategies. "It just seems a tempting morsel to somebody." Levin's firm owns more than seven million GM shares. Barra has guided the company through the settlement of a federal criminal probe of a mishandled safety recall, sold off money-losing European operations, and returned $25 billion to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks from 2012 through 2017. GM declined to comment for this story, but the company's executives privately express frustration with the market's reluctance to see it as anything more than a manufacturer tied mainly to auto market sales cycles. GM's profitable North American truck and SUV business and its money-making China operations are valued at just $14 billion, excluding the value of GM's stake in its $14.6 billion Cruise automated vehicle business and its cash reserves from its $44 billion market capitalization. The recent slump in the Chinese market, GM's largest, and plateauing U.S. demand are ratcheting up the pressure. GM is one of the few global automakers without a founding family or a government to serve as a bulwark against corporate raiders. In 2015, a group led by investor Harry Wilson pressed GM to launch a $5 billion share buyback, and commit to what is now an $18 billion ceiling on the level of cash the company would hold. In 2017, GM fended off a call by hedge fund manager David Einhorn to split its common stock shares into two classes. Einhorn, whose firm still owned more than 21 million shares at the end of June, declined to comment about GM's stock price. Other investors said there were no clear alternatives to Barra's approach.

2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6 AWD

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

All-Wheel, All Right
There is no escaping the luxury all-wheel drive empire Audi has built for itself over the past 15 years. While nearly every high-end marque has at least one offering with power at all four corners, the hardware can't help but play second fiddle to Ingolstadt's Quattro kingdom. Leather-lined all-wheel drive is simply Audi the way minimum wage is an English degree. But General Motors seems hell-bent on raiding as many established fiefdoms as possible with the 2013 Cadillac ATS. Engineers and designers made no secret of the fact that the baby Cadillac was penned specifically to take on the BMW 3 Series, but Audi should be no less concerned about the newest luxury prince from Detroit.
GM has been stuffing all-wheel drive systems under their vehicles for years, but the effort hasn't come without nasty side effects. Unfortunate understeer, extra ride height, smallish wheels and porky curb weight meant opting for all-wheel drive was like signing your driving pleasure's death warrant. Would you like polished brass or brushed nickel hardware for your right foot's coffin, sir?
