Vehicle Detail

2005 Cadillac STS V8!! Only 71K miles. RUNS & LOOKS great, needs NOTHING except a New Driver! I'm relisting the car due to an error by autocheck that they corrected. I also have a copy of the carfax report if anyone would like it. By the way, check out Frogy1360's history--impecable feedback. 100%--Frogy is an ebay Rockstar!!! Up for sale is my very clean 2005 Cadillac STS with a great running V8. This car is a steal of a deal! Some of the highlights of the cars options are as follows: Heated front and rear leather seatsPush button startSensing locks (door(s) unlocks automatically when you walk up to car and have fob on you without you pushing any buttons)Your name comes up on the screen when you start the car-very nice touch!Great sounding Bose Stereo w/6 disc changer. USB smartphone charger in center counsoleNice upgraded 18 inch chrome OEM wheels mounted on top of the line Michelin high performance tires w/~75% tread remaining Great running V8 320 HP engine with smooth shifting transmission Remote start (program your heated seats upon remote start)On star6 disc in dash cd changerDual zone climate controlForward adjustable headrests mounted on cushy comfy sporty black leather heated seats in excellent new looking conditionLow Miles --only 71K! As you can see from the pictures this is a very clean 2005 (don't mind the wet pavement, I just got done washing car). People always comment on how nice and new the car looks and how smooth it rides. Super shiny black paint on the 18 inch Cadillac wheels is simply jaw dropping. This car runs and drives great! Unfortunately, this is a forced sale for me. I hate to part with it, but I have to. Not to sound too cliche, but this is truly my loss, and a lucky bidders gain. I was planning on getting another 10 years out of this machine. You will not find this much car @ this price point anywhere. The car rides great and feels like its just getting broke in to me. The brakes feel good, car rolls straight, steering is tight, No noises in the suspension, no leaks, no warning lights, engine idles perfect. The remote start is a nice feature--auto pre-heat your seats/windows in the winter. The 320HP Northstar responds without hesitation, shifts good--the car needs nothing except a new lucky driver. When you look down the sides of the car, you see super straight clean body lines and flawless looking matching paint--super shiny black paint, and all in all a car that's in stellar shape for a 2005. I bought the car pretty much ding free, and have kept it that way. I am freak about having clean cars and parking far out in parking lots away from people. I have always have ran 93 octane (can use 87 octane per owners manual.). Fresh synthetic oil change and a new cabin air filter. Good high performance Michelin tires. Car is very powerful and smooth and should provide years upon years of excellent Cadillac Luxury service. I'm a non-smoker, and the car has always smelled fresh and new like leather. Of course expect normal wear and tare for a used car. It's not new. The car could use a good interior detailing. I've tried to capture all minor imperfections in the pictures (scratch on roof, bumper, couple very minor dents, minor interior blemishes like a crack in the plastic, mark on the headliner etc.). These are things no one ever notices, and all normal/expected for a 2005. I would consider this car in better shape than most its age. Mechanically the car is sound. The lumbar bag on the drivers seat won't inflate--minor fix. One wheel might be ever so slightly imperfect from a pothole one day (not really noticable and definitely not needing any replacement). I'm fanatical about my cars and nit pick every little thing though. As mentioned, I would consider this a very clean car and it turns heads daily. I have 1 set of keys with a remote start you get with it. What you see is what you get, which is a lot of car at a fraction of a new one. Avoid the $350 monthly car payment (that's $4200 a year!) all your friends and family have, trust me--they are no fun! I've done my very best to describe the car, and I'm confident in saying it's a solid buy and reliable. This is close to a $50K Performance luxury sedan when new, and it's just getting broken in-solid car. It's a Cadillac--one of the best brands of cars in the world--hence the reason you're reading this right now. If you maintain it properly I could see someone getting at least another 150K+ miles out of it (thats what I had planned). History The STS comes with a rebranded title certified by the Michigan State Police. And what that means for you is saving $$$ big bucks $$$ and getting an awesome car that way less than you will see anywhere for this make and model. Remember, you are driving the car which looks supreme, you are NOT driving the title. The other car I own is also a rebranded title and I love it. I have found there is a lot of value to be had by going this route. I actually purchased this vehicle here from ebay from a seller called motorcarexport who specifically deals with cars from insurance auctions. It now carries a rebranded (rebuilt) Michigan title certified by the Michigan State Police after it under went very minor work after a very minor collision (see picture). The car had No airbag deployments and No frame damage. Pretty much some quick bolt on parts is all that it needed when I bought it. I have the title in hand. This car should be able to be titled in your state no problem, but do your part because I don't know all 50 states DMV rules. I think the reason it ended up rebranded is because the computer was dented and needing replacement, preventing the car from being started when then insurance adjuster looked at it. I purchased a new computer and had it professionally programmed/installed at a GM certified dealer (Marty Feldman). See before pictures below from the actual ebay ad I saved when I bought on here 2 summers ago! I had all the body repairs done professionally at a GM dealership, and a professional body shop. Unless you saw the title, you would never know this car had VERY LIGHT repairs done. These repairs were done by a professional body man w/45 years experience and the black paint is a perfect match. Everything looks tight, lines up perfect, and looks factory fresh no matter how the sun hits it. I have a carfax copy as well-- if you would like to see it email me. For your information, the following is a list of repairs and components I had professionally replaced. I used all OEM equipment.Front bumper cover and supportComputer and reprogram performed1 head light and 2 foglightsUpper and lower grillsDrivers side fenderPlastic under engine splash guardPower steering pump and line I put a bunch of $ into this car for it to be good to go for many more miles of reliable service. I even upgraded the wheels! I welcome/encourage any potential bidder to come out and do a pre-inspect or have the car pre-inspected/test drive the car. Nothing to hide here. I have done my very best to describe and disclose everything I know about the car. What you're looking at is a nice Caddy for pennies on the dollar vs new. All bids/purchases are final. Please do not bid on the car if you do not have funds in hand or loan already approved, or if you intend on flaking out and not paying. If you have ANY questions, please call me @ 248 961 4195 And if you need the car shipped, you will have to arrange shipping, but I might be able to give you the name of a couple my father has had good luck with. Again, please do not bid on this auction unless you have funds secured and are ready to buy the car. THANK YOU! Payment Terms: $2000 deposit that will be applied to total purchase price is required within 24 hrs of auction close. Balance of payment is due within 3 days of the auction close. Payment can be wired to my bank (they will have to verify funds before I release), or cashiers check/money order, or Cash in person.
