2016 Cadillac CTS AWD Luxury 2.0 Turbo

Dont buy this car unless you love pain and burning money or you know a guy. I will even provide free bandaids for your hurt feelings after you realize the mistake you made in buying this car. Almost 250k miles on it.

But if you are someone who takes that as a challenge, if you are a guy or gal with the tools and the know-how, this is a great opportunity to score a sweet deal on a fun, modern project car!

The good:

Fun to drive with a 2.0 turbo engine that runs great.

All wheel drive.

Bose premium speakers that when cranked all the way up to 63 will drown out even the worst singers.

Headed/vented seats.

Heated steering wheel.

Remote start and other remote features via the app (subscription required).

Auto on and auto dimming headlights for all you fools I see driving around Bismarck/Mandan with your headlights off.

Auto wipers.

Apple CarPlay.

Backup camera.

Lane assist (that you can turn off if you dont like it).

Blind spot warning.

Cruise control with assisted braking.

Bluetooth.

Impress your friends and family with a motorized secret compartment behind the control panel that also houses a wireless charging pad.

Blow their minds with a motorized cup holder cover.

Most other modern amenities youd expect in a modern vehicle.

The bad:

The infotainment screen is delaminating and not working very well. As you probably know, you can get a replacement for around $100 and DIY it.

Scratch on the windshield from that epic storm in November 2022. The ice on the wiper blades etched into the windshield. This is why we cant have nice things in North Dakota.

The ugly:

The rear diff is covered in fluid. The axle seals are leaking.

Transmission shifts so hard from 1-2 and 2-1 at times that you think you were rear ended.

Loud whining sound especially above 40MPH that sounds like a bearing but doesnt seem to be a bearing.

Was in a front end collision, was quoted $7,600+.

Im likely missing other issues but I covered most of them.
