Sure is! Not a midnight blue color as I would like still is sharp! We do not need extra accent LED colors or body molds on the outside of these cars. They look great without that stuff. I discovered recently while searching, the Puddle Lights on the doors. There are none of those shadow LED Emblem lights as a direct pop in replacement for the car. I was looking yesterday. A new addition I will love to add. There are manufactures for the 2014 and to today for the other models. So strange to me not for the second generations.

Ok ,I need to know ,do these cars have a timing chain problem and a leaky sunroof? I'm getting ready to be the owner of a red 2009 CTS 3.6 LTR 152,000 K, I hope you guys can convince me one way or the other,I love the car.But these ,My fact checking seems to find a whole lot of them are being sold cheap,and with timing chain issues.What do you say?
Well as for the Sunroof, mine on driver side front or forward corner there is a drain hole for the rain to go through to the ground. Mine is a 2013 that may be different than the 2009 based on the years. 2013 model got the new LFX engine. (LFX) Cadillac CTS III (A1LL) in 2013 - 2015, (LLT) Cadillac CTS II (GMX322) in 2007 - 2011. Do some research for knowing the difference. The LLT has an Aluminum Air intake whereas mine is plastic better heat dissipation and is lighter. On the Timing chain issue, it is well-known for the car you are looking at. Just got to keep the oil topped off where it needs to be. I recently added Piston Seal to mine for in-between oil changes I would go through a gallon jug in 2 months. Not it has been two months since I did my biannual oil change as a daily driver too but, it seems to work. I suggest going for a 2012-2013 model like mine less complications. I also have a PCV Tube over the older valves I think with the LLT engines.
@@OFFICIALAZURITEKING thanks so much for your insight and info,definitely helpful.yeah I have the same leak,I was going to blow it out with air pressure, but couldn't locate the exact spot for the drain hole so far. Thanks again
Nice looking cts if you want a comfortable ride don't go any bigger then a 20 inch rims that's what I have on my wagon now 20x10.5 all four corners and she's all wheel drive even better for the handling.
Excellent advice I will keep that in mind! I am eying a $2,500.00 set. They are Gold plated. Rohana RFX5 20x9 +35, if I get a spare with the 4-piece set, that will be $3,000.00. Then the tires to choose. I seen a video of a guy with his Camaro that explains other than the tread pattern look, the tires he bought work great in snow and track. A name brand Michelin or Bridgestone I think. Expensive ones as well.
Nice that's the color I have on my wheels now and it brings out the Diamond pearl white color absolutely beautiful and I also upgraded the rotors and added ceramic pads it helps with better braking and easier to clean the wheels.
@@josemaldonado8157 Yes, I have a set of Carbon Ceramic by Power Stop or Power Sport. The Rotors will get changed maybe this Summer. I want to go for the Slotted non-Drilled set. I had a Slotted and Drilled Set on my 1995 Jaguar XJ6, after reading the issues that can occur with Drilled Rotors, I will option for just the Slotted set. Yes, a lot of people locally love the color of my car. Gold does pop with the White Diamond! This is why I want to keep the existing Interior and Exterior Schemes and then swap the Engine and Transmission. Instead as some had suggest, trade this one in for the V. If I do that I will take away a non-damaged 2-owner car that I already customized! Also, I will be gaining a new set of issues, maybe. I already know this car, and getting the custom LSA installed will be better than trying to balance two loans, a car note and the Engine and Transmission swap. To get accustomed to the 556HP of the LSA stck, I might just install that with an upgraded Camm Shaft instead at first. I am dealing only with 320HP currently. I had driven a 400 HP Dodge Challenger before. I thnk it did not push the same as with the Jag at that time. It felf somewhat powerful but also, sluggish in gearing. This CTS gearing I think is faster time shifts than the 2014 Challenger. Not like as the mechanical shifting of my 95' Jag XJ though. That thing as a Sallon or (Sedan) was a beast in its own right! That Trans was only a 4-speed with overdrive. I always though only if this was 6-speed Automatic instead, how fast I could be moving.
Yes not all brakes are created equal yes definitely do your research before changing the motor I myself am thinking of getting the V wagon hopefully by the fall if everything goes well The wagons are extremely rare.
I guess comparing to what? Is it more expensive maintaining than my last automobile, a 1995, Jaguar XJ6; definitely not! I've been told it's as equivalent repairing parts and pricing for labor as a Honda. I don't know. Some parts are more expensive than others. I found it, which I think is a ridiculous price, if mine still works, and it's a 10 year old automobile. Fuel Pump assembly is still working. It is a great buy for $300. I must replace the inner Tie Rods, now they're going bad, not horrible yet. They had never been replaced since 2013 when they were first put in. So that's a very good testimony for Cadillac. When I take it apart, the inner end. Outer Tie Rods of how bad the inner tie rod actually is. One repair quote 800 plus dollars to do. Just the inner Tie Rods on both sides. It's an OEM $150 part each. I got a set of both Inner and Outer Detroit Muscle brands of both sets inner and outer Tie Rods for $60 with new Dust cover Boots. So The best thing to do Is become mechanically inclined yourself in do it all. yourself. With today's pricing for everything, and not trusting somebody's work. I rather do it myself if I'm able to!
Not very if you are careful and not in a rush! Take the care and time to wipe things, like interior of the bumper off before reassembly! The metal tabs from the inside taking off be careful not to snap them off the plastic connections on the bumper. You will need those. The only actual too difficult part was attaching the Steel Grill mesh to the bumper. It seems like the lower tabs may not sit correctly. I pushed the plastic bumper square holes towards the metal tabs to align then fit. After many months due to weather and climate the Bumper mold will form around the Metal Mesh Grill. I took the Grill off now twice since then. It slips right on now easy. The Bumper and the grill are two separate parts. I have trouble closing my Hood since installed. I lower it then on each side of the Hood crease right towards the middle I give a good force to close. Most times I do it twice. You can let it just drop close I do not recommend doing that to any car. Yet it is an Aluminum Hood; if was Fiberglass or Carbone Fiber may damage easier with either, I do not know for sure. I just try to be a bit mindful and cautious with whatever machine I use! If you take care of them, they of course will greet you with the same. Hope your project comes out well for you!
I would like a Midnight Blue something, modern. After playing Forza Motorsport 7 and Now Forza Horizon 5 I like that color. This White Diamond is a looker. Even more now, I think with the Gold Accent Metals I have adorned on the car. White and Gold nice combo. Yours is a first production of the new look on the second Gens. Do you have the Aluminum Plenum or a plastic maybe Colbalt one like mine? The Air inlet Manifold. Maybe the heat reduction ones started in 2011.

I would like a Midnight Blue something, modern. After playing Forza Motorsport 7 and Now Forza Horizon 5 I like that color. This White Diamond is a looker.
