2012 CadillacCTS Performance For Sale

This car is unreal. I have the 2008 CTS Direct Injection V6. It has been the best vehicle I have ever owned, by FAR. Incredibly reliable through Minnesota winters. Even having RWD, with all-terrain tires it handles snow and ice no problem. Always starts up in a flash in -10 degree weather. Fast acceleration, especially in the 30-50 mph range :) gets a nice throaty growl when you step on it too. I am always down for a red-light drag race. Steering is smooth and natural, and it surprisingly gets pretty good gas mileage. Drove from MPLS to Madison WI (4 hours) and got 27 MPG the whole way. Absolutely love the interior!! Black leather has held up perfectly (no tears) for an 11 year old car and the Bose stereo perfect. As for repairs, at 143,000 miles, it is expected to run into some fixes here and there. It's a CAR. The fixes I've had to make were new ignition coils and spark plugs, a new auxiliary water pump, and new brakes pads. These are easy fixes. Don't buy into the idea that Caddy's are expensive to fix. People will try to feed you those lies... GM parts are not expensive. Buy parts, put in the research and fix it yourself for way cheaper. You and your wallet will feel pretty dang good :) I know the previous owner replaced the battery, water pump and O2 sensor, but still, nothing major. I've blacked out my rims with plasti-dip and the car is the meanest looking 4-door sedan on the road. My friends all refer to it as the batmobile; I don't think that's a nickname that I want to get rid of. Do yourself a favor and get a CTS if you have the chance. They retain their value and they are solid cars. I'm sure the AWD's are even nicer. I will always love my CTS.

I had this vehicle since taking it on a lease in early 2008. I still often get compliments on the styling. The vehicle runs exceptionally well with 108,000 miles when you never want to have a Cadillac out-of-warranty. The key is to any long running vehicle is following the maintenance schedule - especially on fluids. Near 12 years of ownership, I am reluctant to trade it for a new(er) vehicle as it is worth more to me as a good running vehicle than what the Blue Book says it is worth. And it is worth "no monthly car payments."

Have had for over 3 years and bought with 10k miles on it. Handles great and never any issues with mechanical
