cort16 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I'm selling my Cadillac CTS if anyone is interested? It's a 3.6 Sport. Rear wheel drive, proper UK spec car.It's previously been bumped at the front and fixed with moderate to good success and marked on the v5. To be fair it's only when you get up to it you can see the bumper isn't a perfect fit. Airbag warning light is on on the in dash tellybox and I had to make some temporary modifications to get it through it's MOT. No other lights on the dash or anything. 1 key. No service history or anything but only 63k, which is backed up by the mot history. The DVLA has it as general motors if you want to lookup the history. Good bits, it's just passed it's mot.It drives bob on. Pretty quick with 270bhp.Interior is mintola with electric black leather seats, sat nav, working climate, elecy windows and stuff.The bodywork is good for the year, no rust anywhere.Autobox nice and slushy with additional sports mode.Rubbish on fuel £1068.28. Could Roffle if no interest be tickets will be expensive at £18 each and not 100% sure I could be bothered. Car is in Ayrshire, West Coast of Scotland Would maybe swap/PX with something interesting.

purplebargeken Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 That is bloody lovely. I would if I would be able to get an insurance quote in just 3 figures 'cos London and all my NCB is on the bloody Hyundai. cort16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 I forgot to mention this was registered right before the 2006 car tax change so it's only moderately offensive to tax. KiwiAlistair and flat4alfa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Does anyone have any experience selling on Facebook? Is it worth it? I want to hit myself in the head with a hammer reading some of the adverts so not sure if I can stomach advertising on there. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Actually yes. At the other end of the market though! I flogged off my blue Saab estate on a local FB group last year. I got half what I was asking, which was very little anyway as it had run out of MoT and needed electricals that I wasn't prepared to chase. I had one punter. One's all you need, I suppose, and he was offering cash, just not very much. I later saw it on another group at three times the price.... cort16, Uncle Jimmy and Junkman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordonbennet Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I really like these but with three dogs now anything that replaces the W124 when i get round to flogging it will have to be an estate or at least dog useful. Is it fuel that's making you sell, cos that would take very well to LPG, low mileage 270 hp slush boxed yank on 53ppl go juice, just a thought unless you're committed to flogging it.

I just bought it on a whim and now fancy a change. Mrs C's Daihatsu is in for it's mot next week and I don't have great feeling about it so this could end up my Daily driver while she used my Juke. I recon my fuel bill would go from 40 to about 70 quid a week. I might gave facebook a miss then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Seeing as it sort of looks like a giant Vauxhall saloon, you should make a sticker that says 'double the Vectra, double the flange' and then it'd sell a lot quicker. Possibly. NorfolkNWeigh, barefoot, Uncle Jimmy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I strangely like the look of this. It's a shame I don't have need for a big engined cruiser just now, unless I can shift the S Class on that is. dome and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaughant Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I started looking at this for the other half but I've now (un) fortunately managed to repair her ML which she admitted the other day she loves "more than anything in the world" which was disappointing I must admit, good knows how our son must feel 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The exhaust note in the video reminds me of that Omega I had a year ago. I bet the interior build quality* is similar too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think the exhaust is heavily suppressed so it's quiet . Even at full chat it's pretty sedate .The interior isn't the greatest of quality but it seems quite robust. I wonder who actually bought them new and how much the got off list ? It's still for sale I realised the Merc wouldn't fit in my garage and I it's not worth the agro of having it in the drive and blocking the wheely bins. I got an email last night at 10pm from someone on gumtree asking if I could come just now and bring it to their house . Erm let me think.

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Think of it as Gumtree, but with 987% more fucking idiots. Dis. I have never, ever sold anything from Facebook so I no longer bother. The highest concentration of grunting imbeciles is never a realist selling platform. Ebay is the ONLY way to sell anything. djimbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthebeard Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Oh I say...That looks nice.Am almost tempted to offer a swap. Nice MG ZT? Fully sorted with allsorts done including timing belts and new rear springs and suspension arms.Oh, and a stainless steel exhaust system with a cherry bomb rear box, so sounds lovely.It's also in Scotland. I assume that's a no then.... cort16 and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once sellers realise you're not like the other dickheads, you can usually score some great bargains. Bobthebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 I've had a few enquiries on this via bumtree but the emails keeps going into my spam folder. I've moved them out into main inbox and replied but no-one seems to reply to those replies so I presume they're going into their spam folder! I'm loathe to put my mobile number on.
