    STABL TRACH ( service sign) still there, despite spending

    STABL TRACH ( service sign) still there, despite spending more than 1000.00 dollars with Cadillac dealer. When u trade in your car, the dealer want to pay less due to this sign. Is may be HIGHWAY SAFETY issue.

    Most reliable car I ever owned

    I have a 2013 XTS Platinum. I brought it with 46k miles on it. I now have 209k and had 0 issues out the engine and transmission so far. I want a newer CT6 or a 2019 XTS but I'm not in a rush because this car has been the most reliable car I ever owned

    Wonderful vehicle and I've been wanting one since

    Drives great, I selected the all wheel drive option and very Comfortable and modern by far the best Cadillac I've ever owned. Now I am looking for a truck, A tundra to be specific & I'll wait until they have one on they're lot. Already put the requested specs for them to get one & I have no doubt that they won't deliver.
