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!      |

Driving the 2016 Cadillac CTS-V at the old Elkhart Lake road course
Wed, Jun 24 2015The placid community around Elkart Lake, WI, looks about as far removed from a glorious motorsport venue as you can imagine. A turn of the century downtown gives way to old-school resorts, beaches, and boat launches around the picturesque lake, with farms framing the rolling hills all around. But it was those very same meandering country lanes that gave birth to one of America's greatest racing circuits, some 65 years ago. Between the first race in 1950 and the opening of the dedicated Road America track in 1956, the roads around Elkhart Lake provided the setting for some great post-war racing. Competing on public streets was ultimately outlawed across the country, but not before drivers risked life and limb in the name of glory in the Wisconsin summer. Cadillac asked us out to the area recently, not to talk racing history, but to look forward at one of the most track capable cars the company has ever offered: the 2016 CTS-V. We got to drive the 640-horsepower beastie for an entire morning of hot laps at Road America, but unfortunately, we're not allowed to tell you about all of that right now. You'll have to wait until the embargo lifts on August 3, at which point we promise a full recounting of our adventure. Having the CTS-V for a full two days though, and in the spirit of the motorsport that imbues the air in Elkhart Lake, we took the Cadillac on a drive around the old 6.5-mile road course. Come for the new Caddy, but stick around to find out what the hell Wacker's Wend is. Cadillac Luxury Performance Videos
GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs
Wed, Aug 19 2020SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.
