IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A V-WAGON TO GO UNDER THE RADARIN CLASSY COLORSUPERB 9/10 CONDITIONAMAZING EXHAUST SOUNDWITH 2-YR AFTER-MARKET WARRANTY (ASSURANT...AND GET THE FASTEST GROCERIES ON THE ROAD...
...THIS IS THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
SOME STEALTH DETAILS
This particular V Wagon is great for stealth. As close as a supercar can get to blending in.
1: I had the chrome strip above the rear license plate color-matched to the body. As you can see in the pics, this changes the look of the car into a somewhat mysterious, awesome-lookingGM product ... without those curling, annoying chrome cadillac letters screaming at everyone in the parking lot or the driver behind you look at me...2: the car is debadged not only from the three V symbols (sides & rear), but also the CTS letters. I have them all, in mint condition, included with sale (see pics)3: this is the classy greenish-grey Chromaflair Thundergray. It looks amazing and often changes depending the time of day and light conditions. Sometimes a predictable business grey look .. others, a semi-exotic greenish hue.4: no sunroof = more headroom. Here in Miami, I appreciated it since more glass just turns the car into a greenhouse. 5: the calipers are just greyish-silver, no painted yellow / red / black etc just the original V calipers, which are still plainly visible. I was going to paint those over too but didn't get around to it.6: seats are regular Cadillac seats,
not
Recaros. They are comfy, functional and great.
SOME SELLER DETAILS
With as many kids as I have, I just can't justify having this beast around...YES it's all true what all the reviews & videos etc say, this is a four-door, grocery-getting, Corvette-engine, 556HP track weapon and you had better have BOTH hands on the wheel. I am a fast-wagon fanatic . ... but, expenses and planning and etc . .. .... sigh . .. .... I wish I could keep it. .. .. .... :(
BRING THE NOISE / ONE MOD
Aside from the color-matched strip and debadging, the only actual mod to the car is an after-market Borla exhaust. Under full throttle it sounds like an absolute animal, but totally pleasant at idle and regular driving.
SERVICE / HISTORY
I put Bridgestone G-Force rear tires (with appx 60% tread) when I got the car early Sep '16, and that's it. Rear tires are just a FACT of life with this beast. The fronts are Michelin Pilot Sports with lots of tread, see pics. I only put 93 octane gas, from major-name gas stations only (no sketchy / no-name gas stations allowed). That's as long as I've had the car... I have service records from previous owner, from TX. There are zero mechanical issues of any kind that I know of.
THE AFTERMARKET WARRANTY
My financing included purchase of a bumper-to-bumper, comprehensive, after-market Assurant warranty. I checked into it with USAA, with whom I financed the car, and I am told the warranty goes with the car when sold. But I encourage you to check it out for yourself. I don't want you or the car to have any problems, of course, but there is no warranty or guarantee from me personally. Only the Assurant warranty, and whatever it covers, once the car is in your name.
INSPECTION / SUPERCHARGER
I had the car professionally inspected in August by an independent inspection company in TX - not by the Cadillac or GM dealer, who tend to gloss things over, or rush, or just give a less-than-thorough inspection. I have the report and the car came back clean as can be. The known supercharger rattle recall was already done a long time ago by a Cadillac dealer in Austin, TX, for which I have proof.
If you want the car further inspected here in Miami, FL that's fine, but I bring the car there and back. You are welcome to send me an email to arrange the scheduling, once I see that you're a serious buyer. If you happen to be local that's great come see it, but no joy rides.
NEAR PERFECT. .BUT NOT QUITE
I have included pics of imperfections and some scratches. I would not hesitate to call the car a 9 out of 10. Nevertheless, full disclosure:Two of the wheels have minor rash, see pics.At the rear-most panel on the passenger side, close to the ground, there is a pair of marks. Hard to notice those since they aren't discolored in any way (the white mark in the pic is a reflection of a parking stall stripe).On the lowest body panel right behind both front wheels, the paint is scratched.Finally, an entry into my friend's badly misshapen driveway, cracked the splitter underneath, at the front, on the passenger side.
If I haven't described where these flaws are so well, it's all visible in the pics.
Interior is a 9 out of 10 with some very minor wear and tear for a car with 70K miles, no rips, tears, scratches, broken, loose, rattles, etc. Everything works. By the way the Bose stereo rocks. With an easy BT mod, you can stream from your phone. Or HDD, or XM, or USB, or radio, or DVD, or CD, etc etc etc Oh yes it has navigation, but I'm sure you've heard about CUE system. Stick to your smartphone's navigation system, trust me.
OTHER STUFF
Two remotes (proximity keys / remote start)Service book with whatever records I receivedOwner's manualOne extra set of generic, black carpeted floor mats (Inside, the car has the original V floors mats)Current mileage will only increase by very few miles, as the car is NOT my daily driver any longer, but I will drive her around the block every few days to keep everything flowing, healthy, & charged.
I have proof of (electronic) title in my name.
MONEY
A word about bidding. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY AND / OR FINANCING TO BUY IT, AND YOU ARE SERIOUS, YOU ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO MAKE AN OFFER.
If not, please . .. ... DO . .. .... NOT . .. .. . BID . .. .. .. . your time will come to own one of these monsters . .... save everyone the headaches . .. .. .... Thank you.
SHIPPING
Shipping will be at buyer's expense. I am glad to work with you to arrange as needed, I can even set it up for you if you want, but ultimately, it's the buyer's responsibility.
Thanks for viewing and feel free to email any questions for a reply.
