This has been pretty much a "daily driver" vehicle.
This car is being sold primarily because I have discovered that entry and exit into this vehicle has been aggravating leg injuries sustained almost 6 years ago. In short, this car is too small for me. If the car were not contributing to daily pain, I would be keeping it!
General Condition
This car is 11 model years old, and it to be expected to have some problems/issues.
The engine is running strong. It consumes about 3/4 quart of oil every 3,000 miles, which is considered "acceptable". (Please see this link from GasBuddy.com: http://newjerseygasprices.com/News_Page.aspx?id=71266&category=1357&topic=539401&page_no=1&ign=1)
The transmission is good. On occasion, if you do not keep an eye on the coolant reservoir, the torque converter solenoid "locks off", and you feel a hard shift from 1st to 2d. When this occurs, it is pretty much a warning that you need to add coolant to the reservoir. This is not a major detriment, but I wish to share this!
This car has a current, valid NJ motor vehicle inspection. The current inspection expires May 2014. In order to pass this last inspection, I had to replace the catalytic converter. As the rule of thumb for computing mileage, I am seeing about 22 mpg for "around town" driving, and anywhere from 25-28 mpg for long trip/highway driving. These figures result from my driving style. Your results could vary based on your driving style.
Interior
The interior is very sound, no tears or stains have been identified. The air conditioning works well, as does the heat. The radio (a Delco AM/FM Stereo w/ CD) works well with good sound.
Known Problems
1) The power mirrors: do not respond to the controller. I have no clue as to why.
2) Rear passenger window: does not always respond to either the driver master switch, or the door switch. I do not know if this is a regulator issue, motor issue, or switch/wiring issue. The window is up and stays up.
3) The lower duct work had to be removed to repair a leak in the heater cooling shroud. Originally, the leak was presumed to be a failed heater core, but the fan motor regulator had melted a small hole in the shroud, which has been repaired. All parts are on hand. If my pain levels drop and I have the time before the car sells, I will re-install this duct work. Hard to work under the dash with only 1 good arm.
4) The metal around the gas filler is "bubbling", but there is not any eat thru rust. Please see the picture.
5) The wheel well lips have "dents" from a previous owner. This damage was fixed prior to my ownership with "touch up paint", but the "dents" were not filled in. The damage appears to have resulted from shopping carts and related parking lot "encounters".
Extra Parts
I will be selling this car with the following parts for service that was supposed to be performed, but not completed due to injuries:
1) All parts that would be typically needed for a tune-up (i.e.: spark plugs, wires, filters)
2) One set of drum brake pads
3) When I replaced the front brakes, I replaced the rotors, with the intention of having the "original" rotors cut for the next brake job.
General Information
I am NOT the original owner. I bought this car used from Thrift Auto Sales (Morristown, NJ) in January of 2011, and has provided reliable service. I can not attest to any issues prior to my purchasing the car. As will be indicated on the accompanying Vehicle History Report, this car was involved in an accident while I owned it. A novice driver (the ink on her license was still wet) ran a traffic light and clipped the front of the car. The car was repaired by Cornell's Auto Body in Egg Harbor City, NJ as an authorized repair center utilized by Teachers' Auto Insurance Company of NJ. During my ownership, this car was never "smoked" in. I have religiously changed the motor oil every 3000-3500 miles. Any delays in changing the oil were due to weather and injury pain.
Selling Price
Kelly Blue Book pricing for this car is:
Excellent Condition: $4027
Very Good Condition: $3752
Good Condition: $3602
Fair Condition: $2877
I personally feel this car is in very good condition, considering its age and mileage. However, I am a realist and acknowledge that this car is not perfect. Therefore, I am asking $3400 (or best offer). I will not insult you by seeking an excellent condition car price, please do not insult me by offering a salvage yard offer!
Purchasing
I require a $200 deposit paid to PayPal within 48 hours of either your acceptance of my price, or my acceptance of your reasonable offer. Final payment may be either cash at time of pick up, check/money order (which must clear before the title is released) of payment of balance in full via PayPal. If your deposit is via "electronic check" to PayPal, this must clear in addition to any other check/money order payment before the title is released. I was burned once before.
Delivery
I will offer to deliver this car to you at the rate of $1 per loaded mile. If you wish for me to deliver to you, the car MUST be paid for and all payments cleared before I bring the car to you. Additionally, the cost of delivery must be "pre-paid" to my PayPal account (being on pension and disability, I have little in the line of disposable income!). To compute the cost of delivery, I will use MapQuest.com and identify the point of origin as 5401 Harding Highway, Mays Landing, NJ 08330 to the delivery point you specify. (If you use the police station or post office for your town, that is fine ... and I will deliver to your home or point of choosing at no extra cost.)
Listing End
I reserve the right to end this listing early, since this car is being advertised locally.
This car is being sold "As Is/Where Is", and no returns will be accepted.
No warranties implied or expressed.

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan
Sat, Jul 22 2017Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

Cadillac Celestiq, Lyriq, Hummer, other future GM electric cars: Here's everything we saw at ‘EV Day’
Wed, Mar 4 2020WARREN, Mich. — Today, General Motors held an “EV Day” event at its Warren, Michigan, campus to present its new “Ultium” battery technology, modular electric vehicle architecture and soon-to-come electric vehicles. Unfortunately, we were forbidden from bringing cameras into the event, so while we canÂ’t show you what we saw, we can tell you more about it. While we saw the previously teased Cadillac EV (which we now know to be called the Lyriq) and the GMC Hummer pickup teased during the Super Bowl, there were a number of other future cars at the event, which GM President Mark Reuss assured us are all real vehicles in the works. The biggest surprise came at the end of the event, though, in the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan, which Reuss described as a future flagship that would be hand-built “very locally.” It had been hiding under a dark sheet all morning, with the front and rear illuminated Cadillac emblems shining from underneath. When the wraps came off, we saw a long, white, four-seat fastback sedan. The 23-inch wheels were pushed out to the very corners of the car, giving it what appeared to be a very long wheelbase. The model on the stage had no side mirrors or visible door handles. The grille mirrored that of the Lyriq crossover next to it, with integrated lighting in lieu of the usual mesh or slats youÂ’d see in an internal combustion car. The entire roof, all the way until it tapered to the tail of the vehicle, was tinted glass. In back, vertical tail lighting ran down the C-pillar before turning rearward across the top of the trunk. Inside, everything below the beltline of the windows — essentially all but the headrests and top portion of the steering wheel, was hidden from view. Behind the Celestiq, a large digital display showed a rendering of its interior. The dash consists of a pillar-to-pillar curved LED display serving as both instrument panel and infotainment system. Protruding forward between the front seats was another touchscreen that appeared to house some more controls, with open area, probably for storage, below it. The rear seats had the same sort of touchscreen between them. Built into the back of the front seats were a pair of rear-seat entertainment screens, much like we saw in the Lyriq. The door panels blended wood, metal and animated lighting to give character and a sense of opulence. GM interior design manager Tristan Murphy was on hand to tell us a bit more about the Celestiq.
