2006 Cadillac Sts Base Sedan 4-door 3.6l on 2040-cars
Bloomington, Indiana, United States
|
Up for sale is my 2006 Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 AWD with 203,517 miles. I bought this car from Don Gooley Cadillac in the Detroit metro area on January 27, 2014 and the next day the entire transmission went out. I took it to a shop nearby and they said that the transmission fluid is black and it is going to need a new transmission. I simply cannot afford to fix the car so I have no choice but to sell it. There is a check engine light on for a "misfire in two cylinders" and "oil pressure sensor circuit". Also, the "service airbag" light is on. Now when I bought the car I was thinking the misfiring was the reason for the car jerking and shuddering, but it turns out it was the transmission causing that. The engine idles very smoothly and has an occasional small misfire, definitely nothing severe and probably just needs some spark plugs or a coil pack. Everything else seems to be in great shape mechanically. I drove the car back from Detroit, MI to Bloomington, IN and the steering was tight, the ride was solid, brakes were great, and the tires are nearly brand new - Michelin Energy Saving, I believe. I do not see any fluids leaking from underneath, but I cannot be sure, I am only telling you what I see. The engine starts right up and all features work properly. Cosmetically the car couldn't be better, the car looks brand new inside. Leather seats are in mint condition - no tears. On the outside the car is filthy from the snow and unfortunately I cannot wash it since I cannot move it, but I assure the paint has no blemishes and shines like new. I couldn't even find a single door ding or scratch. Now the features list goes on and on. Six airbags, the 15 speaker Bose sound system is superb and there is iPod integration (Aux port). The car has factory remote start, but that will only work once the check engine light goes off. Inside the car it is push button start. The navigation system sometimes says "DVD map read error" - I don't know why, but after it says that it will just go back to the map. It seems that error prevents you from getting directions, but you can still see the regular map It has a smart key meaning that the car automatically unlocks when you approach it and automatically locks when you leave it. It has rear climate control as well as rear heated seats. Rain sensing wipers, OnStar, satellite radio, backup sensors. Onboard Vehicle monitoring system with oil life monitor, tire pressure monitoring system, fuel range, average fuel economy, average speed, digital speedometer, fuel gallons used, time elapsed, and battery voltage. 1SC Luxury Performance Package V6 - $8,285 Memorized adjustment with two settings on door mirror position and steering wheel position with five driver's seat positions; Windshield wipers with automatic intermittent wipe and rain sensor; Glass electric tilting sliding front sunroof with sunshade and one-touch opening; Disc autochanger dashboard and 6; Navigational systems : information type: full map and voice and touch screen controls DVD; Display screen front; DVD/VCD; Bose RDS audio system with satellite, Disc Autochanger and six-disc remote changer; Smart card / smart key includes memory seat adjustments, includes radio settings and includes memory steering wheel position; Heated driver and passenger ventilated seat with lumbar adjustment and five adjustments; Luxury trim wood/woodgrain on center floor console, wood & leather on doors and wood/woodgrain on dashboard; Wood & leather heated steering wheel; Cargo safety net; Coming home device; Garage door opener; Rear limited slip differential; Trunk/hatch spoiler; Low tire pressure indicator; Excludes: [1SB] 1SB Luxury Package V6 And [CF5] Express Open/Close Sunroof And [YQ4] Bose 5.1 In-Dash 6 Disc DVD Navigation
I have been completely honest and upfront about the car to the best of my knowledge, and understand the car is being sold AS IS, no returns, no warranty, and will have to be towed. The buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have or additional pictures. You are welcome to come see the car and bring a mechanic if you're in the area. My phone number is 813.695.3393 Thanks, Michael |

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
GM extending warranties on Cadillac CTS-V and Chevy Camaro ZL1 for supercharger issue
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Okay General Motors, we've sat by and watched you recall the compact cars, crossovers and pickup trucks, and aside from reporting on it, we've been fairly quiet. This, though, this will not do. We can almost tolerate the recalls on the bread-and-butter cars, but leave the performance vehicles alone.
According to a report from The Car Connection, GM has discovered a problem with the superchargers of the 6.2-liter V8s found in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and the Cadillac CTS-V. Apparently, the issue rests around the internal bearing shaft grease, which can become contaminated (we aren't sure with what). If left unchecked, it'll first lead to a rattle at idle, which goes away under slight throttle. The real warning stage is when a high-pitched squeal develops, signaling that the bearing shaft has failed. Naturally, severe engine damage is the next step (although it's possible that the engine will also just refuse to turnover, although neither case is desirable).
According to TCC, GM will replace the superchargers on vehicles that have exhibited symptoms of bearing shaft failure free of charge. It will also, allegedly, be extending the warranty on all supercharged ZL1s and CTS-Vs to 10 years or 120,000 miles (whichever comes first), from the date of purchase. Officially, only 2009 to 2013 CTS-Vs and 2012 to 2013 ZL1s are suffering from this issue.
Cadillac ATS to go racing in 2015 as CTS.V.R replacement
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Cadillac has been racking up victories with the CTS.V.R in Pirelli World Challenge racing for two model generations now, including recent GT class championships in 2012 and 2013. However, even winning racers eventually have to retire, and it looks like the CTS may be taking a bow at the end of the season. In its place, Caddy is reportedly working on a new racecar based on the ATS Coupe, and it might even get to compete internationally.
According to Racer, Pratt & Miller Engineering is leading the development and is already lapping the ATS racecar in Michigan for testing. It reportedly drops the CTS' V8 in favor of a twin-turbocharged V6 powering the rear wheels. Since this is the same team behind the hugely successful Corvette Racing program and the current CTS.V.R, the latest car appears to be in good hands.
The new model would also adhere to GT3 rules, according to Racer, and that might signal a big change for Cadillac's motorsports program. It means that the ATS could be sold to teams in the numerous series around the world that accept these vehicles. That would broaden the luxury coupe's exposure and put it up against GT3 racecars from premium brands, like Bentley, Porsche and McLaren. If it wins, the change could be a marketing bonanza for the brand.
