After the weekend novel on buying my Mercedes GLE63 AMGs, thought I’d squeeze in a really short piece here, another ultra-low mileage Cadillac CTS-V wagon that blog reader Cannon and I stumbled upon. Unfortunately, it’s an automatic, and yet it is still a quite rare unicorn. Rare, except CarMax somehow keeps finding these low mileage beauties – it was just last month that I posted about another 2012 with only 11,000 miles selling for $69,998. It just sold and here’s another chance!
This 2012 has 12,000 miles on it and is offered at $72,998. Looks brand new inside and out. But is it worth $73k? Yes, if you want a CTS-V wagon. All the others in the country, and there aren’t many, are far more expensive even with 50-60,000 miles. Hell, there’s one at PJ’s Auto World in Clearwater, Florida with only 4,000 miles on it selling for $89,990. All the sudden this price isn’t bad, although there are a lotta newer, hotter cars out there for $73k.
The Cadillac has heated and cooling seats, rear view camera, and Bluetooth. But what it really has is a huge 6.2 liter, supercharged V-8 motor rated at 556 horsepower. With the six-speed automatic, the Cadillac hits 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. (That’s what I wrote last month, and I’ll write it again next month when CarMax lists another one!)
This 2012 Cadillac CTS-V wagon is still worthy of a 150,000 mile, five year MaxCare warranty. Not sure it’s necessary. Find the three-owner, accident free car here in Fremont, California.
