Listed for sale is a 2005 Cadillac CTS-V, this car has 81,237 miles on it, 14,000 of which I put on myself. I bought this car in March 2010, which means I have put less than 4,000 miles on this car a year for the last 4 years. This car is in great shape for being a 9 year old car, I won’t promise its perfect, but it is in great shape for its age. The one thing I will mention is the plastic piece around where you put the key in the ignition is damaged, but it does not cause any issues with starting the car or anything like that. When I had issues with the stock heads, I had the entire bottom end rebuilt as well, everything cleaned, honed, and new bearings put in as well. This was all done about 2000 miles ago. The car was tuned by Sho Me Speed in Ozark Mo, and put down 408.20 WHP, and 372.69 ft lb of torque on a DynoJet dyno. There has been over $10,000 put into this car, parts alone. Anyone that has looked into CTS-V’s in the past know they have a horribly weak rear end, and when the differential blows it costs $1600, just for the replacement differential. That is the reason I got the new 8.8 rear put into the car, this rear can take a lot higher power levels then the stock rear, and since it’s an 8.8 there are a lot of options for replacement differentials if anything were to ever go wrong, which I doubt will happen. The rear end costs over $5,000 installed, and seem to have corrected the wheel hop issue this car is known for with the stock rear end. I have only launched it a few times since the rear was installed but it did not wheel hop at all when launched with the new rear. I have never taken this car to the strip to see what it could do in ¼ mile. Listed below are the parts I have added to the car over the last several years: · Creative Steel 8.8 inch rear end (includes new 2 piece driveshaft, differential, and anti-hop axles as well)Creative Steel Motor Mounts · Texas Speed & Performance Camshaft: 233/239, .595/.603, 112 LSA · Patriot Stage 2 Heads, with all the appropriate hardware in them. · Kooks Longtubes and (no cats) full exhaust all the way back. · High Volume Oil Pump · LS7 Clutch and Slave Cylinder · Extreme Composites Powerdome Hood with Vents · Upgraded Timing Chain · Creative Steel Motor Mounts · K&N Cold Air Intake · UUC Short Shifter · Linea Corse Veneto Hyper Black Wheels, Front 19x8.5, Rear 19x10 (6x115/+40F+47R) · Nitto NT05 Tires, Front 245/40ZR19 XL, Rear 275/35ZR19 XL (rear has less than 2000 miles on them) · Stock CTS arm rest (it’s higher than the stock CTS-V arm rest, and more comfortable. I have the stock CTS-V armrest as well that I will give to the buyer in case you prefer that one.) · Custom Mounted 10 inch Pioneer sub and amp. · Kenwood head unit with Navigation, as I hated the stock stereo system, sounded absolutely horrible. · Optima Red Top Battery · Autopage alarm/remote start (remote start will be disabled, but I will show the new owner how to correct it if they choose.) One other thing I will mention is this car sounds really good. Everywhere I go I have people giving me thumbs up, or in the drive thru I get a "I've never heard a Cadillac sound like that before, it sounds really good" I even had a guy at a stop light behind me with his phone out the window trying to record the sound one day. If you need anything or have any other questions feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer your questions. This car has been driven by a NON-SMOKER, I've never let anyone smoke in or near this car. Reserve is set at $17,000
