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!
