I enjoy driving my 2005 Cadillac CTS.\u00a0 It has the Corsa cat-back exhaust, which gives some additional performance, and has a really sweet sound to it.\u00a0 With the 3.6L V6 engine it is peppy, and handles well in traffic.<\/p>\n

However, I also enjoy window-shopping for ‘new’ Cadillacs — new or old models are welcome for consideration.\u00a0 I use a number of different pre-set searches to scan for used Cadillacs.<\/p>\n

I live near Dallas, Texas, so an obvious search is the Dallas Observer newspaper.\u00a0 Here is their Cadillac classified ads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A second quick and easy search is the Dallas city list for Craig’s List; Here is their Cadillac used car ads<\/a>.\u00a0 A more general way to search Craig’s List ads is Hank’s Helper<\/a>, which will let you search any nearby regional Craig’s List by keyword.\u00a0 Also Search Tempest is an interesting way to search Craig’s list for Cadillacs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course EBay can be a good source of used Cadillacs.\u00a0 My Ebay search link<\/a> searches for Cadillacs that also have “V” in their title — so is a search for V-Series Cadillacs, although occasionally some other models creep in.<\/p>\n

For Cadillac accessories on Ebay, I try Direct Performance.<\/a> For Cadillac Escalade Chrome accessories or for Cadillac SRX Chrome accessories, I use a direct link here<\/a>.\u00a0 CaddyInfo is an affiliate of the Auto Accessory Super Store, so I know we’ll get a good deal there.<\/p>\n

Back on Cadillac cars, I use two search setups for Cars.com.\u00a0 This one looks for the Cadillac STS-V<\/a>, and this one for the Cadillac CTS-V<\/a> ; both are set to a range of 250 miles from my zip 75023.<\/p>\n

Finally, Carmax can be a good source of used Cadillacs, which you can find here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once you find the perfect-sounding used Cadillac, it is a good idea to have it completely checked out by a local mechanic or service.\u00a0 Some Cadillac dealers will do a pre-purchase evaluation for you as well.\u00a0 I have also seen members of our CaddyInfo Cadillac Forum Community<\/a> be willing to do a hands-on check of a vehicle near them for someone who was shopping from a distance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
