I purchased a black DTS after researching new vehicles for about a year. This is a gorgeous vehicle that turns heads everywhere we go. My co-workers who own Lexus, Jaguars, and Acuras are begging to drive it. Although the dealership told me I'm probably one of the youngest DTS buyers they've ever had (I'm 41), a few test drives by us "middle-agers" and the vehicle would sell itself.
Cadillac isn't What It Used To Be

I bought this 2006 Cadillac DTS brand new from the dealership. I don't drive much so even though it is a 2006, it only has 38,000. I just took it in because of the vehicle leaking oil. After two visits to the dealership, they determined they would have to take the engine out in order to fix the seal - to the tune of $4,000. When I contacted Cadillac (corporate), they were aware of the problem but refused to do anything about it. According to my research, this is a known problem for model years 2006/2007/2008/2009. This is my ninth Cadillac (new) so you could say that I have been a loyal customer for years. There will not be a 10th Cadillac.

We bought this car when it was two years old, with 7,358 miles on it; paid 40% of what it sold for new. It's been an excellent highway cruiser ... still gets compliments on it's appearance, comfortable ride and quietness.. The low profile tires make for zippy cornering, but our previous Cadillacs had taller tires that gave an even better ride ... too bad hot-dogging sells vehicles these days ... all the TV ads show cars being driven as if they are toys, expensive macho playthings instead of transportation. Second review, 5,000 miles later: If they made this same car now and added some of the newer safety features I'd buy one right now. But I haven't seen anything that temps me. Eleven years old with almost 68K on it and going strong; just finished a 2100+ mile trip that required snow tires across the Rockies: piece of cake.

2006 DTS Potential Buyers Beware

I love the car and the way it handles. You just can't beat the ride of a Cadillac, but...buyer beware. They do not retain their value at all. I was going to trade it in after one year to take advantage of Cadillac's recent incentives and the dealer had the nerve to only offer me $24,000 trade in on a car that I paid $55,000 for. I would never buy another one based on the extremely poor value retention. You'd be better off to look at an Audi or a BMW, something that will maintain it's value more

I put 126k miles on 2006 DTS and engine failed with cracked engine block. I got breaks done once a year because break pads just wore out. I had to replace tires every 10k miles. Stability track warning light always came on. Continuous problems with arm bars and tire rods. Gas guzzler. Arm rest broke. Overall just a cheaply made care...Not impressed. Glad I bought a Lexus this time. Service at Caddy is bad and fails to compare to Lexus. Never again.
