This will be my 6th Cadillac, and also the newest I've owned. Another Copart find, so it's a prior salvage but the damage is so trivial it's surprising the insurance company called it. Oh well, their loss is my gain.

Anyway, details: 2007 Cadillac DTS Lux III with 65k miles on the clock. Has every option aside from adaptive cruise, which is a bummer but not a huge loss as I drive exclusively in the country.

She has the typical N* oil leaks, but they're minor and to be expected. Tires and brakes are in great shape, air suspension works and I haven't found a single non-functional item yet. The front sunroof drains were completely clogged, it took dropping the headliner a bit and physically disconnecting the drains to be able to adequately blow them out. Outside of those few items, it needs basically nothing but miles put on. Even had a recent Valvoline oil change!

Almost forgot - my winning bid was $975, out the door was $1,555 after fees. An excellent value in today's market.

Onto the good stuff:

Looking around a bit, you really did get a steal, especially for a low mileage car that presents well.
FWIU, the Northstar's head gasket problems were fixed for the 2007 MY, so that should be less of a concern.
This thing is pushing twenty years old and no twenty year old car is going to be perfect.
 
Does that vintage of N* need to be studded?
Sweet ride no matter what. That would be a vacation car for me. On the interstate cruise on just gobbling up the miles.
Not until it leaks, but if you keep the hollow bolt in the throttle body open, and the dexcool fresh, that likely won't happen either.
 
The aftermarket grill is OK, but I'd prefer the original.
Are you sure they even offered adaptive cruise control in that year?
I ordered a 2008 DTS, but can't remember seeing that option.
