Excellent Condition, LOW MILES - 71,765 miles!  (Miles may increase slightly due to occasional drives.)  NorthStar V8 ENGINE, Moonroof, Heated Leather Seats, Top of the line Bose 5.1 Theater Sound System with 15 speakers (including Subwoofer), Navigation System, On-Star Communications System, Hands-free cellular phone capability, 17" Wheels, New set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus tires (less than 3,000 miles), size 245/50R17, V-Rated, with new rear disc brakes.  The Temporary Spare Tire has never been on the road or removed from its under-floor space in the fully-lined trunk.

This was my mother-in-law's car.  She bought it outright, nearly new, with a lien-free title.  Over the next few years she kept it completely maintained by the local Cadillac dealer (who will vouch for its regular maintenance, supported by a thick bundle of receipts that will go with the car), garaged it all the time, and always babied it.  Now that Mother no longer drives, this has become an extra car for us, so we are selling it to free up garage space for our cars.

There are NO DOCUMENTARY FEES as found in other car ads. 

We have the clear, lien-free title (not a flood or salvage title).  We are located in Abilene, Texas, 150 miles West of Fort Worth/150 miles East of Midland, Texas on Interstate 20.  Abilene Regional Airport is served by an American Airlines subsidiary carrier with 8 flights in/out per day.  If you want to fly in, we will pick you up at the airport at no charge.  Our region seldom experiences ice or snow and is in a drought with very little rainfall, even by our standards.  That has been the case since Mother bought it and there is obviously no rust or other weather-related issues of any type.

1SE equipment package is a thoroughly comprehensive equipment package offered by Cadillac.  

OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE:  Power Leather Heated Driver & Passenger Seats along with Heated Rear Seats, Satellite Radio, 2 Keyless Entry Key Fobs with Remote Engine Start, door lock & unlock, and trunk unlock, Triple Zone A/C, Remote Trunk Release button, Child Safety Locks, Steering Wheel Controls, Driver Information Center with MPG indicator (excellent mileage), tire and engine monitors, etc., Memory Driver's Seat (which controls seat, side-view mirrors, Heating/Air Conditioning, and Bose system), Keyless Push Button Start, & Heated Outside Rear View Mirrors.

OTHER OPTIONS & FEATURES
BOSE 6-disc in-dash CD/DVD changer, Power Tilt & Telescopic Steering Wheel, 
back-up distance sensors with warning lights and sounds, called Park Distance Control by many, luxurious carpeted Floor Mats, Cargo Net, Built-in Garage Openers, dual, lighted vanity mirrors in sunshades, Owner's Manuals and Books, & NorthStar V8 Engine with 320 HP at 6400 RPM* (what a pleasure to drive with this engine - plenty of passing power!).  This car has a lot of Cadillac features, so please ask, if I've missed something.  The car probably has it, but ask to be sure. 

Please remember this is a 2008 model and is not new.  Although the car is a very clean, low mileage car, the car does have a small number of scratches, dings, or nicks.  There certainly aren't very many.  We would rather have the new owner more satisfied than expected!

You are more than welcome to see the car in person, before completing the transaction.  There will be a $500 Paypal deposit due within 24 hours that will be credited to the final price.

The oil and filter were recently changed with Mobile 1 oil by the local Cadillac dealer (Lawrence Hall, Abilene), who also checked the car over just before its extended warranty expired in May, 2014.  The car is being sold As-Is, with no factory warranty remaining.

Highlights of Edmunds 2008 Cadillac STS Review

What's New for 2008

The 2008 Cadillac STS has been significantly updated with revised styling and a more luxuriously trimmed interior and a six-speed automatic transmission.

Introduction

The 2008 Cadillac STS slots in between the inexplicably top-selling DTS land yacht sedan and the sporty midsize CTS. To keep pace with its more attention-grabbing sibling (as well as other larger luxury sport sedans), the 2008 Cadillac STS has been revised inside and out. The wide, two-level egg-crate grille is particularly striking, and the improved cabin trim is bound to get the attention of full-size luxury car shoppers.

We've always liked the current STS, and the revised 2008 edition makes it even more endearing. Meanwhile, the STS' ride and handling continues to impress with moves that almost make you forget you're driving a sedan that's 6 inches longer and 200 pounds heavier than an E350. Having a price that undercuts the competition by thousands doesn't hurt either.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

The 2008 Cadillac STS is a large luxury sport sedan available in V6 and V8 models. Both versions feature 17-inch wheels, leather seating, wood and alloy-look interior trim, eight-way power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry and vehicle start, satellite radio, an eight-speaker Bose sound system and OnStar. The V8 version adds a CD changer, memory seating presets, heated seats (front and rear), a heated steering wheel and rain-sensing wipers.

Other features available on both models (in packages or as a la carte items) include a sunroof, xenon headlamps, and heated front and rear seats. The navigation system is bundled with a Bose surround-sound audio system. (Seller's note:  This STS has all of the foregoing.)

Powertrains and Performance

The optional engine choice is a 4.6-liter V8 making 320 hp and 315 lb-ft of torque. Both engines come only with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Safety

Antilock disc brakes, stability control and a full complement of airbags are standard on every Cadillac STS. The airbags include front-seat side and full-length side curtains. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset crash testing, the STS scored a rating of "Good," the highest possible. It scored a second-best rating of "Acceptable" for side-impact protection.

Interior Design and Special Features

Cadillac snazzed up the STS interior significantly for 2008 with higher-quality wood and the addition of tasteful alloy trim. A sporty new steering wheel looks and feels better, while more wheel-mounted controls have been added. The good fit and finish remains and luxury buyers should be pleased with this Cadillac's generally high-class ambience. Controls are straightforward and easy to use, with the exception of the confounding memory-setting procedure for the driver seat, mirrors, radio and climate controls. Unlike traditional systems, which place buttons on the door or driver seat, you must dive deep into the navigation touchscreen to set memory functions. It's frustrating and unnecessarily complicated, but at least it's something done only occasionally.

Driving Impressions

Although large in size, the 2008 Cadillac STS sedan feels three-fourths its size when driven with enthusiasm, yet it rides like a supple luxury car when you're gobbling up the miles on the highway. Braking is strong as well, with progressive pedal action and an impressively short 120-foot stopping distance from 60 mph.

2015 Cadillac ATS-V gunning for the BMW M3

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

Spy photographers have spotted something interesting. Cadillac engineers have taken to public streets with the upcoming ATS-V and a playmate: the current BMW M3 Sedan. The prototype seen here wears a more aggressive front fascia, flared fenders and beefy brakes. Quad exhaust tips and what looks to be a small lip spoiler on the trunk deck sum up the most obvious visual changes over the standard ATS outside. Word has it the ATS-V will bow with the same twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 available in the nose of the XTS. In that application, the engine is good for a stout 410 horsepower, which should be more than enough to hustle the sedan around a track.
Other details are still murky, however. First and foremost: will GM offer the ATS-V with an honest manual transmission, like it does with its big brother, the CTS-V? Something tells us we won't have long to wait to find out - the machine will likely bow next year as a 2015 model. Until then, dig in on our newest bevy of spy photos.

Cadillac V-Performance Academy joins free driving school party

Sun, Sep 4 2016

Just in case you needed another reason to want one of Cadillac's hottest performers, starting with the 2017 Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, the first owner of each vehicle can score a free two-day course at Spring Mountain Motor Resort with the V-Performance Academy. According to Spring Mountain's website, the V-Performance Academy "is designed for drivers of all experience levels and includes dynamic car control exercises, visual skill development, and proper cornering techniques," with "brief" classroom sessions sprinkled in. Driving programs like the V-Performance Academy are all the rage right now. In the last few weeks alone, both Fiat and Ford announced free one-day academies baked right into the price of cars like the 124 Abarth and Focus RS. As with the Ford and Fiat courses, Cadillac is providing the learner cars. But where those other courses call on vehicle owners to shell out for airfare, food, and in Fiat's case, lodging, Cadillac covers tuition – a $2,420 expense for non-owners – along with two nights in one of Spring Mountain's "luxury condominiums" and breakfast and lunch during both driving days. Students are still on the hook for airfare, although Caddy will shuttled attendees from Las Vegas McCarren to the track/resort, some 55 miles away. If you can't shell out for the flight to Las Vegas, a new CTS-V or ATS-V, or simply can't spare two days for a driving school, Cadillac is ramping up for another year of its one-day, traveling V-Performance Lab, which will run at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut and at Circuit of the Americas in Texas.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design

Sat, Jun 6 2015

General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.
