Sold for 30,250.
2009 Black Raven CTS-V
107,750 miles

Interior Notables:
Recent Maintenance (2022 YTD):
Accident History:
Prior owner - a friend and colleague of mine - hit debris on the interstate twice and backed into a chain link fence gate once (see maintenance records and historical documentation for full details). The title is a clear title, not a salvage/rebuild. In all cases, any part that was dented, damaged, scratched, or nicked was replaced with OEM Cadillac parts. Note: I purchased the car in 2017 with the rear bumper cover damage still present and finally got around to having it replaced in June of 2022. Full repair details from shops are in the historical records
Otherwise, it has stone chips/ dings from daily driver use and the wheels have some curb rash.
Summary:
It is certainly not a show car but it is clean and in great condition over all. I would not hesitate to take it on a coast to coast road trip. An absolute blast to drive but still has mild manners when you don’t have your foot in it. If I had more space at my new place I would keep it as a “fun” car.
