Cadillac STS CTS
 

Looking at spending 20k for a used one. Any opinions, are they decent cars? thanks

My mom had one and drove it for a 1.5 years, it lost about $12K in value with 6k miles on it. Never had a problem with it, its just the base model, and most folks know that, so it cheaps out on several features.

I HAVE THE STS BUT WITH THE V6 NOT THE V8. I LOVE THE CAR BUT DEF NOT WORTH WHAT I PAID. IF UR BUYING USED U CAN NOT GO WRONG. GREAT CAR NEVER 1 PROBLEM. DEF NOT LIKE A CADDY THO. (to small bring back the long ass boats)

Bought a 2005 STS for 21k. V-6 and 24,000mi. Hope it fares well. thanks

Depends on options, you might have done decent. Caddys have typically taken a beating on resale about as worse as anything made, they all depreciate fast, but caddy goes down nose first and does not stop........they are pretty dependable though. I have learned go German and get it over it on luxury cars.

Wife has an 05 CTS. It has the 3.6L V6.... 255hp rear-wheel drive. It is pretty sporty and still gets 25mpg. We haven't had any problems with it. Bought it new and now has 40k on it.

CTS-V is a cool car, unfortunately it didn't sell well because Cadillac people did not like the manual trans :Whatever:

My wife drive a 05 cts and we couldnt be happier with the car. No problems what so ever. Rides great, good mileage and great looking car for a decent price

My attorney buddy has one, 6-speed, with a very blown LS-7 motor version with 200 shot of nos. Different rear end, clutch, tranny, brakes, intake, headers, exhaust.....turnes 11.7. Very quick car, and still looks stock but with wider tires.:cool-smiley-011:Jeff

there is a cts-v that i pass everyday on my way to school. its got black rims and limo tint, looks badass!

I'm looking at used CTS-V's right now actually, You can find them in good condition for an 04/05 in the mid to high 20's range. I'd get the new one this summer but I'll let somebody else eat the 1st year depreciation. I'll put the used V on one of my business lines and write it off for now. Very, very fun sedan, only real issue is the rear diff being weak on john force launches but that can be fixed. Mod potential blows away the other competitors.
