2002 Cadillac Deville Dts Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Caledonia, Michigan, United States
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 finds a few more horsepower for ATS-V
Wed, Mar 25 2015We've rarely found cause to complain about a car getting more power, and guess what? That's not going to change here. After initially announcing that the new ATS-V would come to market with a Corvette-matching 455 horsepower, Cadillac has come back with an SAE-certified 464 horsepower. That, as Automobile points out, puts the high-performance ATS in spitting distance of the base Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 469 hp. Anyone else feeling bad for owners of the 425-hp BMW M3? While the ATS-V is getting a bit more grunt, somehow, we doubt Cadillac will adjust its previously published performance figures. Expect 60 miles per hour to arrive in 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 185 mph. As of this writing, a lucky Autoblog staffer is lapping the ATS-V around Circuit of the Americas in Austin as part of the sedan's big launch. So while we can't fill you in on its real-world performance just yet, expect a big update soon. Related Video:
Meet the other Cadillac wagon. It's as American as ABBA
Tue, Aug 16 2022The Cadillac CTS Wagon became a cult classic the second it went on sale. We all knew that it was never going to sell in anything approaching significant numbers, and if that "we" didn't include those actually working at GM, one would have to wonder what they were smoking. Cadillac was still having a hard enough time trying to convince people that it was now a BMW-fighting sport luxury brand rather than the purveyor of Grandpa-piloted land yachts. To many, a sport sedan like the CTS seemed like a stretch. But a CTS sport wagon? It sure seemed like GM was just doing things for funzies, an impression only enhanced by the CTS-V Wagon. Forget cult classic. That thing was an instant legend. And yet, the CTS wasn't the only Cadillac of that era offered as a wagon. It wasn't even the first. Before GM said "to hell with it, let's have some fun" on this side of the pond, over in Europe, it had already taken a page from its old badge-engineering playbook to create the 2006 Cadillac BLS Wagon. It was available as a sedan, too, but its awkward majesty is best enjoyed as the long-roof model. There's just something off about the whole thing, right? That's probably because it also looks vaguely familiar, as if you've seen it before. So where the hell does this thing come from? Sweden! Behind that Cadillac Art and Science face is a Saab 9-3, and in the case of the BLS Wagon, the Saab 9-3 Sport Combi wagon. The roofline is the dead giveaway, as no other wagon has ever looked like that. In fact, the roof and windows were the only exterior elements to copy directly over from 9-3 to BLS. No kidding. With the Cadillac front end, doesn't the Saab-funky-boxiness make it look like a miniature hearse? The answer is yes. GM's design team, led by Ed Welburn, was quite pleased with his work. Perhaps it even egged him on to create a real Cadillac sport wagon? "The whole team was very excited to apply Cadillac's design language to a wagon for the first time," said Welburn in a press release from the time. "The V-shaped chrome-plated grille, a Cadillac hallmark, is picked up again by the shape of the rear window, and the body side character lines make it unmistakably a Cadillac." The interior is surprisingly different from the 9-3, including the ignition switch migrating from the center console up to the steering column. It also wasn't exactly in keeping with the Cadillac norm of the time.
Junkyard Gem: 1998 Cadillac Catera
Wed, Dec 14 2016A decade or so after Ford tried to swipe some US-market sales from European luxury marques by selling the German-built Ford Scorpio with Merkur badging, General Motors opted to sell the German-built Opel Omega luxury sedan as a Cadillac. The Catera was a reasonably nimble rear-wheel-drive sedan with a 200-horse DOHC V6 engine, and its badge-engineered nature made it a much less costly gamble than, say, the Cadillac Allante, which had its bodies built in Italy and flown to Michigan for assembly. Unfortunately, it had no manual transmission option, and Americans who remembered the miserable US-market Opels of the 1970s were put off by the Catera's Opelness. Its $29,995 list price was quite a bit cheaper than that of the (slightly less powerful) $39,800 BMW 528i and a bit less than the (slightly more powerful) $33,585 Acura 3.2 TL's cost, but the Catera didn't sell in large numbers. This one made it to a respectable mileage figure, and the nice interior shows that it was well-cared-for during its 18 years on the road. The ads for the Catera featured a cartoon duck named Ziggy. Fast, fun, fiendishly flexible! By 2000, Cadillac had ditched the duck and was touting the Catera's value. Related Video:
