I'm the third owner, having bought it from a friend of mine. It's been covered until recently by Cadillac's platinum warranty, and runs and drives quite well. Adult-owned, this car hasn't been abused or performance-modified.
No accidents, clean CT title, non-smoker. I have service records too. Comes with two keys (each recalls separate seat/mirror/stereo settings), owners manual, nav DVD.
The skip-shift "feature" that makes you go from 1st to 4th gear under light load has been disabled.
New battery, serpentine belt, brake lines/pads/rotors. Recent new tires (and alignment) too. No slipping from clutch. I had my friend replace the windshield just before I picked it up, so that's new as well.
I've installed a SPEC ipod interface that works great with my ipod 4s (I think it has an aux-in too) - basically plays music (and gps) though the stock stereo using one of the satellite radio slots. I have also installed a costar bluestar device, that disconnects the OnStar service, and instead can bind via bluetooth to any portable device so you can place/take calls using the stereo and the car's built-in microphones.Hard-wired for Passport or Valentine 1 radar detectors - shuts off when the car is off.
Body is very clean and paint is great. There are a few blemishes on the outside (and I'm being pretty picky here):
small crease in top of passenger fender
small scratch on passenger fender
small nick in passenger a-pillar
leading edge of hood has a few nicks but nothing rusting
rear bumper has a little bruise from the first day I had it (backed into a pole at 2mph while getting emissions tested!), and a light scrape from parking.
Driver rear door has a door ding
Rims are in good shape, though some have scratches.
Interior is very clean - some scuff marks on back of front seats (two kids). Buttons are all in great shape (nav unit was replaced because the buttons had peeled).
Drives great - alignment is bang-on with no pulling to the side under any condition. The 6-speed shifts just fine (though not miata-precise, it's fine). No funny sounds or smells, she just goes like stink.
This car was well-taken care of, and it shows. I'm happy to take her to any mechanic within 20 minutes of me for an inspection (on your dime), and please don't make me an offer without having seen the car first.

Jeep Twitter account hacked, bad language, poor grammar and some hilarity ensue
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Just a day after Burger King's Twitter account was compromised by "unauthorized users," Jeep's social media feed has been similarly hacked. Both instances of digital incursion share some similarities - the BK hackers changed the company's logo for McDonald's familiar golden arches, saying a sale had occurred, while the Jeep miscreants have replaced Jeep's branding with that of General Motors property Cadillac.
The resulting tweets from the damaged Jeep account have been a pretty brutal, to put it bluntly. Most of the content coming from the hacked account is unpublishable here, using language that is peppered with racial epithets, and poorly worded "shout outs."
In addition to the defamatory tweets themselves, the hackers have significantly altered the layout of the page. Jeep's header image now features a picture of the Cadillac ATS to go along with the Wreath and Crest, some language calling out that car as winning the 2013 North American Car of the Year award, and this gem: "The official Twitter handle for the Jeep(R) - Just Empty Every Pocket, Sold To Cadillac =[" Also, perhaps in an ode to yesterday's Burger King heist, the background image for the page now features a McDonald's-themed donk. The devil's in the details, we guess.
2016 Cadillac ATS-V blasts into LA
Tue, 18 Nov 2014The first details about the 2016 Cadillac ATS-V recently hit the web ahead of the official debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the latest model to wear Caddy's high-performance V moniker is officially official, and the specs are even better than initial rumors suggested.
The latest figures actually give the ATS-V a hair more power than first believed, with 455 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque pumping out of the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6. With a standard electronic limited-slip differential keeping rear wheels in check, Cadillac claims that the model sprints to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 185 mph. Buyers have two transmission choices that both offer launch control: a six-speed manual featuring Active Rev Match and no-lift shifting, or an eight-speed automatic.
Thoroughly revised suspension and braking systems should also mean that the ATS-V excels at more than just going in a straight line. The chassis itself receives extra bracing to boost overall stiffness by 25 percent over lesser ATS models. On top of that, a host of suspension upgrades front and rear, including third-generation Magnetic Ride Control dampers, mean quicker steering response and a tighter ride. Plus, Brembo six-piston calipers up front and four-pistons in the rear should bring rapid deceleration. To tune it all to the driver's whim, the Performance Traction Management system gives five settings to choose from for stability and traction control.
How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
