Oil Consumption Cause Finally Found?
I was out on another Cadillac forum and I read a posting from a guy who has a 2005 CTS that was burning a couple of quarts every 1000 miles or so. This guy obviously knows something about cars because he made a modification to his PCV vacuum tube (don't ask me to explain what he did), and apparently the engine no longer drinks oil. So that got me looking around ... Read More

Re: Engine problems 2006 CTS [05gmlemon]
So I had the same issue with my 2005 CTS and found a fix. Go to the dealer and state that your cadillac is burning through oil at an unreasonable rate. They will ask you to do an oil consumption test, which consists of paying for a new oil change ($90) and then coming back in 1500 miles to see how much oil has been consumed. Here is what I did.... ... Read More

Re: Engine problems 2006 CTS [jamesseverino]
I have a 2005 CTS 3.6 and it has the same problem with oil consumption. I'm much older than you and have owned dozens of vehicles in my lifetime and have never had the experience of 600-800 miles per quart of oil as I have with my CTS. The Cadillac dealership service manager told me that was in range for Cadillac. Sorry to hear that this is still a problem with ... Read More

Re: Engine problems 2006 CTS [gmcustsvc]
Why don't you post your contact info so people can call you directly , the people on this forum are very upset with the way GM Cadillac is dealing with their concerns and I have had the same experience. You are in no position to help any body so why don't you stop wasting peoples time and giving them them false hope.

Re: Engine problems 2006 CTS [jamesseverino]
I have a 2009 CTS with the 3.6 engine. I have the oil changed at 5 to 6000 mile intervals at a Cadillac dealership. It uses a quart between changes. Do not let this oil usage problem go until it is out of warranty. I would stay on this until I got GM to do something about it. My service advisor told me that one of the problems they had with ...

Re: Engine problems 2006 CTS [wyatts4]
I have a CTS 2009 AWD 3.6. I bought a demo car. A 2009 in 2009. Since I have had the car the car eats over a quart of oil every 800 miles on the usual. More so at other times. I currently have 34,000 miles on it and have reported the problem. And they say "service guy" that that is usual and there's nothing that they can do unless it ... Read More

Re: Buying Cadillac at lease termination - 2007 CTS [dumb_blonde]
You can buy the car for the Residual, that is quoted on your Lease Agreement. Do not pay more than that. If "for example" your residual is $20,000 and the dealer can buy it from GMAC for $17,300, it's a good compromise to buy it for $18,300. Your dealer may think you will buy it and is willig to make some $, rather than have you buy it out at another ... Read More

Re: $299 Money Factor [dman090]
Hi dman090. GMAC's current base lease rate for the 2006 Cadillac CTS is 3.95%. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. So a lease rate of 3.95% would be equivalent to a money factor of around .00165.

Re: Car_man...please help me [maizeandblue7]
Hi maizeandblue7. Nothing is more annoying than being hesitant to drive your vehicle because you do not want to go over your mileage allowance. You can always purchase additional miles at a discounted rate at lease signing if you think that you will need to drive more than 15,000 miles per year. GM's lease program on the Cadillac CTS is pretty good right now, but if you are not completely sold ... Read More

Re: [Car_man] Help [cpbnb] [Car_man] [cpbnb]
No problem, Pete. Cadillac is no longer providing $2,000 dealer cash on this car. It's now $3,000 customer cash. It doesn't really matter through because I don't believe that either of these incentives were compatible with leases through GMAC. Having said this, GM is providing $3,000 lease cash on leases of '06 CTS 3.6L models right now. Just because this lease cash is out there does not mean that you are ... Read More

Re: [Car_man] Help [cpbnb]
Hello Pete. If you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6 through General Motors Acceptance Corp. right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.95% and 54%, respectively. If you provide me with an approximate selling price for this car, I can tell you what its monthly payment should be like. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forums

More On 2006 CTS Deals
The word at the dealership is that Cadillac is eager to unload the 2006 models, offering either 0% financing or the $3,000 rebate. I chose the rebate rather than the 0%. However, as noted above the fact that I was offered 5.9% despite impaired credit shows how much GMAC wants to help move the '06s.

Good Deal On CTS Demo
I just purchased a 2006 CTS with 5,200 miles from a dealer for $23,000. It was a loaner / rent car and was sold as new. This price included a $3,000 rebate. In addition, I was able to get GMAC financing at 5.9%. (Due to a significant ding on my credit score, several dealers for another manufacturer had demanded 12.75 to 15 percent interest on a new vehicle.) I should note ... Read More

Re: Here we go again... [baron87]
Re cts, I have a 2006 w/sport/luxury pkg, 3.6 and all options except auto trans. I bought it for the handling, ride, appearance, and because I had good service from my 1993 seville sts (now has 200,000 mi and runs nearly as new). I have enjoyed the cts and am surprised by excellent mileage, only once below 22, and over 26 on a trip. Quality seems excellent. Things I don't like: ... Read More

2006 CTS problem resolved- Kudos to Cadillac
i have a 2006 CTS with 3.6 and 6-speed. I love the car for its handling, ride compact size and great gas mileage. I had a small crash at 2000 mi to the left front, which was repaired flawlessly by the dealer. Then at about 5000 mi it developed an annoying bucking in low and 2nd gears when accelerating at about half throttle- just the normal amount you use when pulling ... Read More

What Should the Numbers Be?!
Hello... I have been looking at the Cadillac CTS over the past 6 months, but I am now for sure looking to buy in the near future.

I also saw some advertizing from the Tri-State Cadillac Dealers on their website. I live in New Jersey. ... Read More

Re: Manufacturer to Dealer Incentives [claden]
That is a very good question, claden. I do not believe that the $3,000 dealer cash is compatible with GMAC's lease program for this car, but I am not positive. As far as its current lease program goes, if you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6L through GMAC right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.95% and ...

Re: 2006 CTS 2.8L, How are they getting to 299/month [Car_man]
Qutoing Car_man Let's use GM's current lease program to estimate what this car's lease payment should be. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac CTS 2.8 with an MSRP of $31,190 and a selling price of $28,500 through GMAC right now for 36 months with 10,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $360 or so. The payment that you were ... Read More

Re: 06 CTS-V Lease Rates? [mywave]
Hi mywave. If you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac CTS-V through GMAC right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.95% and 63%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take the $1,600 lease cash that General Motors is currently providing on it into account. It will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost. ... Read More

cadillac cts bucking, surging problem
I have a 2006 cts with manual transmission. The car has been troubefree and enjoyable for the first 5000 miles. At that point it developed a major surging and bucking when accelerating at 1/2 to 3/4 throttle in low gear and less pronounced in 2nd gear. There is no engine light and the dealer found no computer code so in their opinion it is not a problem, but it is to ... Read More

Re: Deal in works on 2006 CTS [yank_fan]
Hi yank_fan. The fact that you are able to get this car through GM's Supplier Purchase Program means that you are getting a good deal on its selling price. The only thing that I would change about this deal is the down payment that you are considering making. I always advise consumers against making any sort of down payment when leasing. I do so for two main reasons. The first is ... Read More

Re: 2006 CTS 2.8L, How are they getting to 299/month [sandbox]
Hi sandbox. It is difficult for me to say exactly how much over invoice this car's selling price is, but making an educated guess I'd say that you are at around $1,000 over invoice or so once the $1,800 lease cash that GM is providing on this car right now is taken into account. If you are in an area where there is a decent level of competition for your business, ... Read More

Re: cts lease [gritter]
Hi gritter. The most recent advertised lease that I have seen for the 2006 Cadillac CTS 2.8 is $299 per month with a little over $1,500 down.

Re: 2006 CTS 2.8 w/Automatic [nosirrahg]
Before I bought my 2005 CTS, a local Cadillac dealer told me to stay away from the 2.8, because of a problem with the engine seizing. The dealer said he had personally had several that had the problem, and he would not keep any 2.8's on the lot, even to offer as a price leader, and that the 3.6 was his recommendation. Last summer I looked at three dealers, probably 75-80 ... Read More

Re: Question for CTS Owners.. [tedescm1]
I have a major problem with my 2006 CTS. The engine (according to the dealer) on my 2006 Cadillac CTS makes a continual howling/whining noise when accelerating and at a steady speed above 35 MPH, that the dealer says is normal. They already replaced the Differential. I'm very unhappy with the car and drive with the radio on at all times to drown out the car noises.

New Caddy web site and 2006 CTS-V
A few notes... The new Cadillac web site is awesone. Great job to whomever did it. It's generally well organized and easy to find what you want. The broadband movies everywhere are a great enhancement. I notice in the 2006 CTS-V pictures that there is an exterior photo showing a wheel that isn't offered as an option. It's a pretty cool looking wheel compared to the standard CTS-V one. Does anyone ... Read More

Re: CTS - Front Tire Wear [temj12]
I concur that GM is trying to keep Cadillac owners happy. They've been able to make a lot of Euro-converts with the CTS, and have attracted a younger demographic that represents future business. It would be suicide to let down this new customer base. GM vehicles and plants are now starting to win quality awards, and once they rationalize their product line-up, they'll be back on track. In my own case, ... Read More
