Vehicle description
This listing is for a 2006 Cadillac DTS with Talisman Edition package. Color is Dark Ming Blue Metallic with matching vinyl roof and gold package. Interior is 2-toned Cashmere and Shale. It currently has 52,112 original miles. I"m the second owner, having purchased the car with a little over 26,000 miles back in March 2013. It was garage kept by the first owner for the first 7 years and it shows. The car is in very good condition overall. I"m a non smoker with no pets or kids. The car is really beautiful and drives as a Cadillac should. I did not plan on selling this car, but I already purchased a new car and need to sell this one. Vehicle is being sold As-Is with no warranty and any known issues as stated below.
The interior, trunk and even under the hood are all clean with minimal wear. All power options work in the interior. Everything was tested to be sure. The seats are heated and cooled both front and rear. The sunroof works nicely. The radio and speakers are standard, but still have a kick. Downsides: The drivers seat has a rip and some wear on the leather. The steering wheel has cracks and gouges from rings that were there when I bought the car, but got worse over time. The floor mats are original and have some typical wear. There is some minor wear/staining in on the front carpeting.
The paint, trim and roof all are in good condition with average wear and tear. I just replaced all of the lights inside the headlights, as well as replaced the lights and lenses for the rear license plate. The headlight lenses are unbelievably original. I replaced and added some chrome trim pieces over time as well. Downsides: The gold grill and trunk logos show some flaking of the gold. All gold emblems seem to do that and I had already replaced those emblems back in 2016 for the same reason. There is a small dent in the passenger door, as well as a small door crease on the same door. There are some scratches and chips here and there. I"ve included a new tube of OEM touch up paint.
The wheels are NOS replacements as the original chrome plated wheels corroded due to road salt and brine exposure. Replaced them in 2016.
I will gladly provide pictures of any defects or anything else you would like to see.
The car does need work though. It needs a catalytic converter and has a Check Engine light on. Inspection expired in October 2019. I didn"t even realize I missed the inspection date before the dreaded Check Engine light came on. COVID didn"t help the matter any either as I wasn"t able to have it repaired before the world shut down. I finally replaced the cat in September 2020 with an aftermarket unit that was supposed to be a high quality, exact replacement to the original. It fit exact, but it failed 4 days after installation. The inner catalyst is not the same as OEM, so the Engine light came on again. I had the dealership verify this. I also replaced all (3) o2 sensors with OEM parts at that time. I normally would never purchase aftermarket parts, but I did in this case and these are the results. They shouldn"t even manufacture that junk because it rarely works. The OEM catalytic converter is still available luckily, but it"s pricey.
I had the car inspected a few weeks ago by the dealership with notes on any current issues. I have that paperwork available and will provide it if you message me.
Notes were: - Wrong catalytic converter used causing Check Engine light to come on - Minor oil leak from bottom engine block half (Northstar engines are 2-piece) Very common on all Northstars. - Power Steering rack is starting to leak (No drips, just seepage) - Brake lines are rusty
The tires also need to be replaced eventually.
I also have virtually all paperwork for anything I"ve done to this car since I"ve owned it. Most of the work done to this vehicle was done at the Cadillac dealership.
It would be better if you came in person to look at the vehicle prior to bidding on it. Message me to set up an appointment for a test drive. Once again, this vehicle is being sold As-Is with no warranty and any known issues as stated in this description.
Vehicle must be picked up in Toms River, NJ. You must register and insure the vehicle if you plan on driving it home. *Important note: The inspection sticker is expired. You may risk getting a ticket if you drive it home. If you want the vehicle shipped, you must make arrangements with a shipping or towing company.
