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 OPTIONS & FEATURES 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.

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. SELLER'S WARRANTY INFORMATION This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed, written, or implied.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story. Related Video: ROAD & TRACK NAMES THE FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT350R THE 2016 PERFORMANCE CAR OF THE YEAR New York, NY (November 9, 2015) – Road & Track today named the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R the 2016 Performance Car of the Year, beating out seven of the world's best new sports cars. The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.
GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
Ford C-Max spot aimed squarely at Cadillac ELR 'Poolside' hubris [UPDATE]
Thu, Mar 27 2014If we had tried to predict the first video response to the controversial Poolside video for the Cadillac ELR, we would not have thought it would center on compost. But, hey, it's always nice to be reminded that the real world is sometimes better than fiction. Instead of the chic swagger of 'Poolside,' 'Anything Is Possible' is all about getting dirty. The new short in question is called Upside: Anything Is Possible and it promotes two things: Detroit Dirt and the Ford C-Max Energi. As in the ELR ad, Ford's plug-in C-Max only makes an appearance at the tail end of the spot, but instead of the chic swagger of Poolside, Anything Is Possible is all about getting dirty. The ad stars Pashon Murray, co-founder of Detroit Dirt, which takes natural waste from around Detroit, composts it into soil and then spreads that around "forgotten parcels" of Detroit to create urban farms. Detroit Dirt gets its bio-waste from a lot of sources, including the Detroit Zoological Society (all that herbivore manure has to go somewhere), Ford and General Motors, but this particular ad was the idea of Ford's PR agency, Team Detroit. It was a frenetic shoot, filmed with an LA-based director right after a big winter storm blew through Detroit, and Murray couldn't be happier with the result. "This was Ford Motor Company pushing my story, letting me tell the story that I believe in," Murray tells AutoblogGreen. "I get to help push this car and I get to tell my story." She says that the Team Detroit and Ford had to agree on the message, "from my understanding, [YouTube] is where they wanted to start, not where they wanted to finish." The ad is already getting a positive response on Twitter, so we won't be surprised if it shows up in more places soon. "It's not saying Ford is better than GM. It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." As Detroit Dirt has off-screen support from both GM and Ford, it's unsurprising to hear Murray say that the video "is not a rivalry thing." She notes that the ad agency Team Detroit came to her and offered to tell the Detroit Dirt story using the framework of the GM ad. "It's a parody on this commercial, but it's not saying Ford is better than GM," she said. "It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." What is that story? It's about urban farming, recovery and recycling. Murray tells us that for the last seven or eight years, she's been dedicated to sustainability.
