I bought a 2006 DTS with less than 9k miles with full Cadillac warranty that came off lease at the end of 2007 when GM was closing dealerships. Perfect condition Black Raven Lux 2. I still own it and I think of it as a couple of barcoloungers on wheels. Better riding car than any Mercedes, Lincoln, or other vehicle I've purchased. Since I have other vehicles it only has a bit over 60k miles on it. No problems, but it is about time to get the suspension tightened back up with new rubber components and shocks and I have no qualms about putting money into it.

rear fog light button at the bottom, and front fog light at the top on the round split button you are wondering about, does the engine leak on this one, they have problems with the driveshaft seals, It is very easy to fix but people think the oil is coming from elsewhere due to spread with wind.

GM has made some stupid automotive mistakes, the Cadillac DTS is not one of them. GM’s suspension systems are among the best in the world and if you want comfort and a smooth ride in your suspension the Cadillac is the best of the best…

You are comparing this car to a Honda Accord? Why are you even looking at a car enthusiast page? Also, it burns up the tires and feels amazing, not how an Accord is geared I promise you.

Those are massaging front seats. That's what the big square button is on the side of the front seats are for. Also, there is a hidden power outlet under the drivers seat. I owned mine for a long time before I noticed it. There is also a power outlet in the storage bin between the front seats. Lastly, that is real wood trim, not fake.

Some of the European and British cars were made with a rear fog light. The motor was a very Jag original. They took the 3.0 6 and the 6.0 L V12 and made an original Jag V8 So a 4.0 L to fit with the same dimensions of those two previous engines. Ford was actually very hands off in their period of Jag ownership. But the supercharger might have been borrowed by ford. You could say that Ford owned Jag and Jag informed Ford back on a few things. I’m not a Ford fan but Ford as an organization was very clever in how they did this! They let the old boys go! To create what they thought would be the quintessential classic Jag! And so was born the XJR Their Hands Off Free approach was pure American ingenious in my opinion! I own a 98 XJR myself.

On the headlights kit, your caddy's lights are IN THE RANGE where they will come out immaculate, I know what your saying about so-so results but those are on WORSE condition headlights, I bought ebay kit for $10 / free ship and used on my brother's Odyssey lights which were 1 level worse then your caddy's and they came out SPECTACULAR.... trick is to constantly spray water mist on lights every 20 seconds of buffing with cordless drill (so you don't "burn" the plastic light housing. Do NOT put on finishing clear coat....that stuff ALWAYS leaves marks, will mess up great buff job. Put two or more layers of masking tape around lights to protect neighboring paint....then tape poster board a few feet around and throw a couple tarps on hood / grille / fenders to keep polish splatter off.

Paint chips on hood are probably from an ice/snow scraper, you have to be really careful clearing the cowl/wiper panel as the hood slightly overhangs.

So many of these cars are ruined because people are too lazy to undercoat their cars and install a pair of mudflaps. The chassis area at the rear wheel well toward the front rots out. All these cars will benefit from mudflaps and undercoating. Nice to see this car has them. There are a lot of seams under this car, oil will help save them. Krown works in things like doors etc. but oiling the frame and chassis will extend its life. Krown and Fluid Film etc. all wash off in water moving areas, where oil will stay. People will argue the facts, but you can't beat experience.

I havent seen a lot of cars that are faster these days, unless you are spending a decent grip. Late model X308 XJR's are a good buy at 10-15 grand for one that's running and driving well. I believe thats the most car you can expect to get for 10 grand these days. You can aim for cheaper but its most likely gonna be a project. A couple simple upgrades and it gets to about 425-450 hp at 3900 lbs, which is pretty respectable. There's crazier upgrades and mods that have been done and the engine and transmission can handle 600-800 hp and up to 700 torque. Ive owned a 2003 for about a year and a half and its an amazing car when it's all sorted out but if i didnt work on my car myself i wouldnt bother owning one lol
