Cadillac STS STS-V Supercharged (2006)
for sale

Price: US $22,980.00

Description:

Supercharged Cadillac STS-V, Eddie and Ercie Hill's personal car, for sale. Please Google Eddie and Ercie Hill.
The most powerful Cadillac ever built at the time, powered by a supercharged and intercooled 4.4 liter Northstar double overhead camshaft, variable cam timing, V-eight with 469 HP and 439 ft.lbs. It has a six-speed automatic that is driver-selectable for either automatic or manual shift mode, should you want to shift it yourself.
French-stitched beautifully grained leathers for top of the dash, center console, and door panels.
It has larger Brembo brakes, larger 10 spoke alloy wheels, 18x8.5 fronts and 19x9.5 rear, with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that I installed only a couple thousand miles ago, with no measurable wear yet.
The STS-V has a faster steering ratio and stiffer suspension than the standard STS, and the performance, braking, and handling is thrilling, beyond anything I ever expected with a four-door.
This is the 2006 model, the silver four door, with black interior. This has been our personal car for the last several years, and I absolutely love it. It is by far the coolest looking, fastest, best handling, most exclusive sedan I've ever had, and it has the most amenities.
I have never felt the need to personally check it, but Wikipedia quotes the 0-60 as 4.8 seconds. That might be a little better with the stickier Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires I now have on the car, which are higher traction than the factory equipped tires.
. However, the need to carry more than than Ercie and me has never materialized, and we have never had anyone ride in the rear seat. So I am going back to my preference for a smaller, two-door (or no-door) car. I have had one Mustang, fourteen Corvettes, and four Ariel Atoms; so smaller and lighter is my preference, if I don't need the passenger capacity.
The new price on this STS-V was over $77, 090, and it has the performance and features to justify the price. There were 1, 306 of these built for this 2006 model year, and total production over four years was 2, 503. These are quite rare, and I have never seen another one anywhere.
Partial list of equipment.
Supercharged 4.4 liter 469 HP V-8, dual overhead cams 32 valve, with variable cam timing 6-speed shiftable transmission Rear wheel drive, limited slip rear differential 18 and 19 inch alloy wheels with super premium tires Active, self-leveling suspension Rain-sensing windshield wipers (this is a cool feature, watching the wipers come on by themselves when needed) Power glass sunroof, with a sliding door to completely block the sun if desired 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS Traction control Stability control Competitive driving mode available, where traction control and/or stability control can be turned off Dual front side-mounted airbags Front and rear head curtain airbags Xenon high intensity discharge headlights Tire pressure monitoring system with in-dash readout Rear parking sensors Leather and suede upholstery 8-way power front seats Memory seat for two drivers Heated front and rear seats Easy entrance and exit feature, which automatically retracts the seat to the rearmost position and raises the steering wheel for easy exit and then re-entry, without having to push any buttons Tilt and telescope steering wheel Heated steering wheel Dual zone front climate control Rear seat climate control We had the windows tinted to the maximum legal tint DVD navigation system Remote start feature - This is great when the weather is hot or cold, because you can start the car a minute or two before getting in, and the automatic climate control has it comfortable as soon as you get in Bose premium AM/FM in-dash 6 CD/DVD stereo with FIFTEEN speakers! BIG sound. If you love music like I do, this is a real plus XM satellite radio On Star telecommunications service One-touch push button start, keyless, and keyless entry. With the fob in your pocket, just walk up to the car and pull the door handle, no key to fool with, get in the car and one-touch the starter button, and the seats, mirrors, A/C, etc. all are automatically where you want them. Driver information center in dash Personalization instructional CD included, to lead you through the many amenities Voice recognition system, which allows for hands-free operation of navigation, phone, audio system, climate controls, windows, On Star, and memory features. Merely touch the talk symbol on the steering wheel, release it when you hear the beep, then merely speak your commands. This is great fun to play with.
It comes with the books, manuals, and service records, and smells nice inside.
The car had two previous owners; but before buying, I personally did a thorough inspection and road test of the car, and we would not have bought it if we had had any concerns whatsoever with the condition of the car or the treatment by previous owner. It has always been a Texas car.
If you happen to be a veteran drag racing fan, you may recognize Eddie and Ercie Hill as the only team to have won the Top Fuel Championship on land and water. If not, you can Google Eddie and Ercie Hill, or Eddie FourFather Hill, for our credentials.
Ercie and I will be happy to include an autographed die cast replica of our top fuel car, and an autographed diecast replica of our dragster transporter eighteen-wheeler. The sale includes a new premium battery that I just installed, and a new Budge #5 car cover.
On this particular car, please consider the rarity, condition, appearance, performance, and the fact that I replace tires, batteries, etc., with the best available parts. I don't take the car out in the rain, or ever park it outside over night, or park it where it is subject to door dings if we take it to a restaurant. Mine is treated more like a garage queen.
We have lots of other vehicles to use for daily drivers- and about 90% of the miles we put on the STS-V is on nice Sundays going to our little Cowboy Church in Henrietta, Texas, a 60 mile round trip for us. We made that trip on Easter Sunday, in the car that my sweet wife just bought for me for my birthday, a 2013 Mercedes Benz SL 550 roadster with a twin-turbo V-8. The SL 550 is the only reason I'm offering my STS-V for sale- I don't need two pretty-day cars.
The car has 83, 640 miles on it, and we are now offering it for sale at $22, 980. That is over $54, 000 off of the new price, and this very special Cadillac offers a lot of performance, comfort, luxury, and exclusivity for the money.
Thanks for looking,
Regards, Eddie FourFather Hill
