If you've been waiting for the sharpest 2002 DTS, look no further.

THE GOOD:
I bought this in 2003 with less than 2000 miles (two thousand) so it's virtually a one-owner car (first owner bought it as as surprise for is wife, who then announced "I wanted a Lincoln Navigator!").  It's been the best car we ever owned, and we have a previous long history of Mercedes-Benz ownership.   It has every option available at the time- including navigation, sunroof, night vision, hands-free phone, leather, heated seats (all 4), lumbar seats (front), top-of-the-line Bose sound with CD changer, premium 3-stage paint,  and far more- too much to list here. Cost new was $65,000 and there are several post-factory upgrades such as custom billet grille, gold emblem package, stainless steel fender trim, additional luxury wood interior trim, trailer hitch, etc.  Senior owned, never smoke in.  Looks, runs, drives, and rides like the true luxury car it is.

 Maintenance- dealer maintained for the first 100,000 miles.  Oil has been changed very 3000  miles from new.  New struts (all 4, original electronic front and air rear struts), major brake rebuild (pads & rotors), new air pump for rear struts, and new tires- all this within the past 10,000 miles.  Also new alloy wheels less than 2 years ago.    Super clean, the only time it spent  nights out of a garage was during winters in Florida where it was in a carport.

Accident history- One low speed deer hit-  minor damage (to the car, another story for the deer), also some idiot with a pickup backed into me in a parking lot with his tailgate down and dented the deck lid, which was replaced and once got kissed in the rear while stopped at a traffic light- very minor hit- only a one inch crack in the rear bumper, which was replaced.  No other accidents.

THE BAD:
Known defects-  driver's seat heater is inoperative, oil leak at crankcase pan gasket, and "Service Engine Soon" light comes on occasionally.  This began to happen a few years ago and at first I panicked.  Took it to dealership where they checked it out. Code showed exhaust system anomaly but car ran just fine so they reset the code and told me to not worry about it.  A while later, light came on again.  Took it to 2 other shops for opinions with same result- "ignore it" as long as car is running OK.  Now the light comes on intermittently.   Sometimes it goes off by itself after a few days, sometimes I get tired of looking at the light and take it in to have the code reset- always the same thing ("check exhaust system").  I've been told by several mechanics that the sensors that trigger these warnings get cranky after a few years and can't be trusted for accuracy.  

THE UGLY:
There is no ugly- this car is beautiful.  Paint is still bright and shiny, upholstery is cean and only shows minor wear.  Same is true for carpeting. 

Although she's "experienced", this one still has lots of miles and years of good service left.  You might find cheaper, but I doubt you can find a better one.  Amazingly, it still has the original battery but it  must be getting tired so I will install a new one for the new owner.   

Reserve price is less than 1/10 the original cost.  If reserve is not met, I may accept a near offer, so bid accordingly and be prepared to honor your bid- I will relist it with "Buy It Now" at your high bid price.

Cadillac CT6 shows its face in 2015 Oscars ad [w/video]

Mon, Feb 23 2015

Have you been watching the 2015 Oscars? No? Then you've missed your very first look at Cadillac's long-awaited flagship, the imaginatively named CT6. Don't worry folks, we've got the entire spot, titled The Daring: No Regrets, available below. Marking the start of the new Dare Greatly campaign, the 60-second spot will be joined by three others during the Oscars' broadcast, and features a number of unconventional luminaries from the worlds of fashion, finance, technology and film, contrasting their common beginnings with their exceptional accomplishments. It's a powerful spot... and then the CT6 arrives. Asking "How dare a 112-year-old carmaker reinvent itself," a white CT6 is spotted (viewed through what looks like a bad Instagram filter) cruising slowly down a New York (we assume) street. The car itself is big and wide – properly American and Cadillac in its proportions – and features a very handsome evolution of the latest CTS' styling, with a new take on the brand's distinctive headlight and grille design. Have a look at the photo above, watch the ad and let us know what you think of both the commercial and the car that stars in it, down in Comments.

Meet the next president's new Beast, a giant bomb-proof limo

Fri, Jan 22 2016

We don't know who will be our president in 2017, but now we have a better idea of how that person will be transported on land. The next presidential limo, officially referred to as the presidential state car, will be another Cadillac. And a big one. You're looking at a lone spy photo of a car that will be of high interest to actual spies – not to mention Secret Service agents and lots of law-enforcement types. President Obama has been riding around in a Cadillac nicknamed The Beast for a while now. (It recently made an appearance on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.) Over the Secret Service radios, it goes by Cadillac One and Limo One. While the current car looks like a stretched Cadillac DTS sedan, it's actually kind of huge and built on a Chevrolet Kodiak medium-duty truck chassis. The same is likely to be true again, but this one will look a lot more like the latest Cadillac models. Through the camo we can see a front end reminiscent of the new CT6 large sedan. Imagine one of those scaled to about 5/3 of the production car and you've got the right idea. Fun fact: It will be the first presidential limo to feature Caddy's new wreathless crest logo on its grille. View 6 Photos As for features, we're in the dark and will remain so even after the new president-mover goes into service. The details are a legitimate matter of national security, but you can bet it's bulletproof, can withstand small bombs, and has some kind of onboard secondary air supply in case of a chemical or biomedical warfare attack. Oh, and it has that big red phone in back in the event things get really bad. The new one will no doubt carry the latest communications and safety technology. The new presidential limousine has been in the works for some time. The government sent out a request for proposals in 2013, and this model is expected to go into service sometime in 2017. Chances are it will make its debut at the inauguration of [INSERT CONTROVERSIAL NAME HERE] in about a year's time. Related Video:
