#1 of 3 2005/2006 CTS 3.6L by hardywang May 01, 2009 (5:17 pm)
Hi,   I am considering to buy a used CTS, more precisely 2005 or 2006.   I did a search, it looks like rear differential, rear wheel hub are week.   Anybody knows are there any other known problems of these 2 model years? Engine, transmission, suspension and so on?   Thanks Hardy
#2 of 3 Cadillac: Certified v. Non-Certified Pre-Owned by phil56 May 12, 2009 (2:08 pm)
I'm interested in purchasing a '06 Cadillac CTS. In my searches, I've found that relatively few pre-owned Cadillacs are actually certified pre-owned. I was wondering (Question #1) if anyone knew the reason for that. In other words, are Cadillac dealers' pre-owned Cadillac inventory not certified because of the stringent requirements or are there other reasons (i.e., are they not certified because they can't be certified or because the dealers just don't take the time to get them certified)?   For example, per Cadillac's web site, there are only 18 certified pre-owned 2005-2007 Cadillac CTS's within 150 miles of Chicago. However, at dealerships in the Chicagoland area, I've found about 10 non-certified pre-owned CTS's that meet nearly my exact requirements. So as a follow-up question, I was wondering (question #2) if it's advisable to purchase a non-certified pre-owned Cadillac from a Cadillac dealer?

Replying to: phil56 (May 12, 2009 2:08 pm) There is an additional cost to the dealer, to certify a vehicle. Based on your numbers, more than 60 percent of the CTS's you found are certified. That's an unusually high percentage.   In addition, you can pay more to the dealer of an uncertified car, to have it certified. Then again, you can also purchase an extended warranty, just make sure it's from GM or a credible company.
