#1 of 3 Cadillac DTS "Trim Level" Discrepancies by ylvisaker1966 May 17, 2007 (3:40 pm)
I am (was) the owner of an 06 DTS which was recently TOTALED in a multi-car pileup. I'm fine, the car served and protected me well. However, in dealing with insurance issues for settlement there are various ways the 06 and now the 07 "trim levels" i.e. Luxury Base, I, II, III, IV are being valued or appraised for the DTS. Edmunds appropriately lists the values of the 06 in its used cars under the different levels. However, KBB and NADA appear to only recognize one "base" trim level and consider the upper levels only via add-on/options to the base. However, I noticed the Honda Accord is shown (correctly) as the LX, EX, SE, VP, etc. Or, the Lincoln Town car is shown (correctly) as the Signature, Signature Limited, Designer, and Signature L trims. I assume most other cars are shown correctly as well. Have any other DTS or Cadillac owners run into this, or are they aware of this? It makes getting "fair market value" impossible in this instance. I'd appreciate other ideas, opinions, etc. I've sent each enotes with no corrections following. Thanks in advance. I will be getting an 07 to replace my 06 - I loved the car and its improvements. My last Caddy was a 98 D'Elegance. Replies to this message: KarenS (May 18, 2007 5:29 am)

#3 of 3 DTS 2006 Sensors by motherbobbi Oct 26, 2007 (3:38 pm)
We have had 4 or 5 sensors put in the car. They say it is something about how the air flows. Before these sensors go out the car goes crazy. It will say on the read out that all the setting are off. The car has shut down twice, no air, radio, no sound, windows will work at all. It has had 3 radios, I guess you get the picture. Has anyone else had this problem or problems. We are working will GM to have it as a lemon. Our service writer has let GM know about the sensors.
