2006 Cadillac Sts Base Sedan 4-door 3.6l on 2040-cars
Bloomington, Indiana, United States
Up for sale is my 2006 Cadillac STS 3.6 V6 AWD with 203,517 miles. I bought this car from Don Gooley Cadillac in the Detroit metro area on January 27, 2014 and the next day the entire transmission went out. I took it to a shop nearby and they said that the transmission fluid is black and it is going to need a new transmission. I simply cannot afford to fix the car so I have no choice but to sell it. There is a check engine light on for a "misfire in two cylinders" and "oil pressure sensor circuit". Also, the "service airbag" light is on. Now when I bought the car I was thinking the misfiring was the reason for the car jerking and shuddering, but it turns out it was the transmission causing that. The engine idles very smoothly and has an occasional small misfire, definitely nothing severe and probably just needs some spark plugs or a coil pack. Everything else seems to be in great shape mechanically. I drove the car back from Detroit, MI to Bloomington, IN and the steering was tight, the ride was solid, brakes were great, and the tires are nearly brand new - Michelin Energy Saving, I believe. I do not see any fluids leaking from underneath, but I cannot be sure, I am only telling you what I see. The engine starts right up and all features work properly. Cosmetically the car couldn't be better, the car looks brand new inside. Leather seats are in mint condition - no tears. On the outside the car is filthy from the snow and unfortunately I cannot wash it since I cannot move it, but I assure the paint has no blemishes and shines like new. I couldn't even find a single door ding or scratch. Now the features list goes on and on. Six airbags, the 15 speaker Bose sound system is superb and there is iPod integration (Aux port). The car has factory remote start, but that will only work once the check engine light goes off. Inside the car it is push button start. The navigation system sometimes says "DVD map read error" - I don't know why, but after it says that it will just go back to the map. It seems that error prevents you from getting directions, but you can still see the regular map It has a smart key meaning that the car automatically unlocks when you approach it and automatically locks when you leave it. It has rear climate control as well as rear heated seats. Rain sensing wipers, OnStar, satellite radio, backup sensors. Onboard Vehicle monitoring system with oil life monitor, tire pressure monitoring system, fuel range, average fuel economy, average speed, digital speedometer, fuel gallons used, time elapsed, and battery voltage. 1SC Luxury Performance Package V6 - $8,285 Memorized adjustment with two settings on door mirror position and steering wheel position with five driver's seat positions; Windshield wipers with automatic intermittent wipe and rain sensor; Glass electric tilting sliding front sunroof with sunshade and one-touch opening; Disc autochanger dashboard and 6; Navigational systems : information type: full map and voice and touch screen controls DVD; Display screen front; DVD/VCD; Bose RDS audio system with satellite, Disc Autochanger and six-disc remote changer; Smart card / smart key includes memory seat adjustments, includes radio settings and includes memory steering wheel position; Heated driver and passenger ventilated seat with lumbar adjustment and five adjustments; Luxury trim wood/woodgrain on center floor console, wood & leather on doors and wood/woodgrain on dashboard; Wood & leather heated steering wheel; Cargo safety net; Coming home device; Garage door opener; Rear limited slip differential; Trunk/hatch spoiler; Low tire pressure indicator; Excludes: [1SB] 1SB Luxury Package V6 And [CF5] Express Open/Close Sunroof And [YQ4] Bose 5.1 In-Dash 6 Disc DVD Navigation
I have been completely honest and upfront about the car to the best of my knowledge, and understand the car is being sold AS IS, no returns, no warranty, and will have to be towed. The buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions you may have or additional pictures. You are welcome to come see the car and bring a mechanic if you're in the area. My phone number is 813.695.3393 Thanks, Michael |

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
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.
