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!      |

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues
Fri, Feb 27 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module. Show full PR text RECALL Subject : Inadvertent Press of Roof Panel Switch/FMVSS 118 Report Receipt Date: FEB 24, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V106000 Component(s): VISIBILITY Potential Number of Units Affected: 58,698 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) CADILLAC ATS 2013-2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured April 25, 2012, to February 9, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
