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!                                   |

Next-gen Cadillac CTS-Vs caught in parking lot
Thu, 10 Jan 2013A pair of camouflaged Cadillac CTS prototypes were spotted, and thankfully photographed, outside a grocery store in Southern California. From the image above - there are plenty more if you click over to TotalCarScore.com - it appears these could be testers for the 2014 CTS-V, but that is just speculation. We've seen the obvious "V" motif in the grille before, and there's what could be another "V" in the design of the side mirrors.
The hood on the car in the background appears to include two bulges, but the single shot that affords a tiny peek under the hood shows reveals only the airbox. Plenty of rumors, and the sight of an engine cover inscribed with the words "Twin Turbo," have caused people to wonder if a twin-turbo V6 will live under the production car's hood instead of the V8 currently there. In back, instead of the round tailpipes found outboard on all the CTS sedans, there's a pair of integrated tips in a parallelogram shape. A new shifter with contrasting stitching was spied in the cabin.
If predictions hold up it will arrive later this year. When it does, expect the body underneath all that camo to be softer on the eye compared to the current car - less science and more art. For now, hit the link to see more spy shots of what's coming.
2015 Cadillac Escalade configurator lets you bling it your way
Fri, 21 Mar 2014It's Friday, so there must be a new configurator to play with. While last week we showed you how to build your own McLaren 650S, today's ride is a bit more common. It's the 2015 Cadillac Escalade, a vehicle that you've been able to colorize since the end of last year, and which is sure to be an increasingly common sight on US roads in the coming months.
For those that have played with the build-your-Caddy tool, there's not much new here, aside from the vehicle being configured. The Escalade is available in three trims and two wheelbases, with prices spanning from the SWB, two-wheel-drive Standard, which starts at $72,690, on to the all-wheel-drive, long-wheelbase ESV Premium, which kicks off at $86,790. The options list, meanwhile, isn't hugely extensive. A rear-seat entertainment system and power-retractable side-steps (only available on the Premium trim) are the two notable options, while customers will have their choice of six exterior paints and two to three interior schemes, depending on the trim level.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
