I bought a 2012 Cadillac CTS4 3.6 last year as something to drive while I search for a vehicle after selling mine. It had 49k miles on it and the only thing I did to it was change the oil and replaced the front and rear brake pads. It’s an ok car but not my style as I’m more into performance oriented vehicles.
I posted the car on Craigslist at $16,800 per kbb and know this won’t be an easy sell. I had a dealer reach out today through email and offered me $15,000 after asking for the vin. They are a large dealer (koons) and guaranteed that the numbers won’t change once I get there. I let them know in advance that I won’t be buying a replacement from them and they said the acquisitions dept. is something new and they don’t require for a customer to buy a vehicle from them. I buy all my vehicles privately unless buying brand new.
The car will need new tires before next winter and I’ve decided that right now is a good time to sell considering I paid $6k less for it last year than what they’re offering even though I’m in line with KBB.
I haven’t found a replacement vehicle yet as it’s very difficult in todays market but right now is a good time to sell the Cadillac. This is my first GM that I’ve owned other than a GMT400 that I picked up 5 years back and plan to keep it forever as I don’t put any miles on it other than use it on occasion for things that would fit in its 8’ bed that wouldn’t normally fit into any of my other cars. It’s in pristine shape and would fetch a lot money in todays market and values will only continue to climb for that truck. I’m a bit disappointed with the Cadillac as I compare it to Infiniti, Lexus and Acura models I’ve owned in the past.
I plan to take it in tomorrow and will see how the process goes. I’ve always sold privately as well so this would be something new. I’m wondering what they will sell the Cadillac for and if they will transfer it to a more in demand location.
