I'm ready to get serious about selling this car. It is a 2004 Cadillac CTS. Just under 80,000 miles. One owner (me) and very well taken care of. Maintained at the dealership on West Sahara the entire time and whatever they told me to do I did. Just put on three new tires I might add.

I know older American cars have awful resale value and I'm eager to get rid of it to buy something better, so the bargaining power is yours.

The car looks better than these pictures suggest because it hasn't been properly cleaned in months.

I'd take much less.

I'd make a low-ball offer but doubt you would go for it.

You should be able to sell it on Craigslist
for that, half of bluebook.

You should be able to get that, which would be the street price in these parts. I'd have to transport it from Vegas which even if it would not take my billable time would kill any profit margin for me. Always a market for Detroit Iron that is big and feels like it is riding on a cloud.

My KBB inquiry showed $4K-7K.

Why did mine show 13K for Vegas?

I ran mine local but that will not be that big of a difference. I ran low model and few options. At this age of car that still should not matter.

What kind of mileage are you getting? What is the story of the cool license plate?
