Used 2014 Cadillac ATS 2.0L Turbo Luxury for sale near me

Good day/evening to all you readers. I rarely, if ever, write reviews. I am making an exception for J.J. and Car Stars, simply because of the experience. My wife and I needed a vehicle in a bad way, and were a bit dubious, due to past experiences with the dreaded "sales experience", and getting snookered. HAving set the stage, I was astounded at the lengths that JJ went to ensure that we had the best possible deal, and also explained EVERY aspect in clear and concise terms. Not once was he pushy, or arrogant, or disinterested. Buying a car on a note is not something I do frequently, so I probably will not do it again for many years, BUT if I am in the market, I will make the trek to Car Stars, and give them my money and time. Thank you JJ, and may your business continue to flourish. Michael and Erin Garner- Conroe, TX.

I actually purchased my 2014 ATS 2.0T awd Luxury on eBay in Sep of 2019. The car had 55k and I won the auction at $8400! So for me, this was, and remains the best purchase I’ve ever made. Despite having a salvage title, the car looked great, and performed flawlessly. I’m currently at 112500 miles and I’ve only had to replace the radiator expansion tank (common issue easily resolved for less than $150 and under an hour DIY. My experience was $88 parts and 30 minutes to replace.). When it came time for brake pad replacement, I decided to switch out the 4 rotors for drilled/slotted, but this was just to get a sportier look, all it really needed was the brake pads replaced. I’ve changed the oil every 4 - 5k miles with Mobil1 full synthetic. Just remembered that I had to replace the CUE screen as well, this was $120 parts and 90 minutes DIY. Plenty of YouTube videos to walk anyone through it. As of right now, the automatic transmission is shifting somewhat hard, both up and down, and this seems to come and go. My plan is to have a local shop do a transmission flush and replace the filter. Hopefully that works. The other issue that seems to come and go is the mixing box for the front passenger vents, sometimes it only blows hot air. Overall, I’ve been very happy with my ATS. At the time I purchased it I was just simply looking for a somewhat sporty all-wheel-drive vehicle so I could go visit my son in Colorado during snowboarding season. My car is made several trips up there and handles excellent in the snow. Overall, I love the look of the car from every angle. My example is Red Obsession Tintcoat with Black wheels. I deleted the chrome trim around the windows using plasti dip. This was a personal preference, I then added chrome, spike style lug, nuts, lol to accent the door handles. This car has been wonderful to me and these five years of ownership. Pros: Appearance Performance (Beat a 2017 Hemi Charger equipped with exhaust and several bolt ones.) Reliability Brand Recognition Comfort for driver and FRONT passenger Cons; Premium Fuel. (It says recommended, but the consensus from all the owners forums is to only use 91 minimum. Standard headlights weren’t enough for me. I replaced with LEDs for under $100 on Amazon. Rear passenger access/egress and comfort is lacking, despite having a four door sedan. No spare tire. Sticker price of 40 K when new in 2014 seems more than a little high, definitely worth picking up a used example. Maybe you’ll get as lucky as I did.

I like my car. I turn it on and it goes! Lots of pep (it's only 4 cylinders) and gets me wherever I need to go.

They made the process as quick as possible. Unfortunately, I didn't test the retractable sun roof shade because it is shot and needs replacement...don't know how much that will be. Check engine light came on. Don't know if they blew out the code so it wouldn't show, but thermostat needs replaced and NOT cheap! Price was decent, but not happy about deficiencies.

A perspective from a car guy who has owned many sports cars: the ATS is a really solid sports sedan, but sales indicated not many folks wanted this great sports sedan. Why? It’s goodness has a few flies in the ointment: here are some quirks to this good car that frustrate and bother. Handling is great, but I question the run-flat tire design decision. Run-flats are harsh and noisy, but the suspension is tuned to compensate (except for the noise). There are no jack points or jack, so we are kinda stuck with the expense and noise. The 2.0 liter dual-scroll turbo is really fun. The light-weight body allows the engine to move the car quickly and nimbly. The engine does have draw-backs. Blow-by can carbon up the valves, and since the engine is direct injection, the valves are not cleaned by the atomized intake gas. Carefully scheduled oil changes are crucial for engine longevity. And then there is the CUE system. The knob-less infotainment system is better than you would expect (one gets used to it in surprising ways), but the touch-screen overlay dies. It has a gel layer between two screens that dries out and renders the touch screen useless. The part to repair it is cheap, but the center console must be completely disassembled to get to the screen. Very very poor engineering because cars sit in the sun and the the gel will delaminate. (Replacement screens without the gel layer are available.) Folks are frustrated: you didn’t hear it from me, but there is a class action suit regarding this screen and Cadillac’s blindness to addressing it’s flaws. I’m 6-0 and hit my head on the door edge every time I get in and out. You’d expect that of a goofy Italian car, but not of a Cadillac. Big deal? No, just reality. So, with no spare it has a huge trunk, right? Nope. The entire space under the trunk floor from axle to bumper is filled with a huge…..muffler. This is just plain bizarre. Biggest muffler/resonator I’ve ever seen. Exhaust note is underwhelming. With these little niggling bothers, the car remains one of my favorite sports sedans. It hustles but with composure and control. It is comfy on long drives, but instantly awakens for a mountain drive or twisty. The sales record indicates my frustrations are common. But drive it. I think you will fall in love with her and her “beauty-marks.”

Although I love this car, I recently experienced a problem with the transmission cable that I learned was recalled in 2014-15. I am the second owner of the car and am sure the recall notice was sent to the previous owner and they did nothing about it. Very disappointed that I'm going to have to pay for a repair that was recalled, even though it's been a while the recall should be honored.

Eddie, Robert and Olivia at Opus did a great job helping me purchase a vehicle from Tennessee 500 miles away from their dealership in Michigan. Eddie's answered all my questions, sent me every picture and video I requested. Eddie also recommended a transport broker that took great care transporting my vehicle in a timely manner. Robert is really friendly and nice. Olivia did a wonderful job on the paperwork and communicating about my transport. It was a wonderful experience. Check them out. Thanks everyone!

Very clean, smooth ride... easily the nicest car I have ever owned. Interior is in impeccable condition, as is the exterior. Smaller Cadillac, looks very sporty!

Stoped by after seeing a few cars online I was interested in looking at. One car was a bit rougher than I thought, one that I didn't care for the interior color, but then we found one that was just what I was looking for. Took it for a test drive and was very satisfied. Had a couple issues I asked if they could address like a new key fob and recondition the headlights. By the end of the day the new key was ready and headlights looked amazing. I never felt pressured, and was very happy with their service and help in getting me into a vehicle that day. Stop and see Josh, Jerod and Bill if your looking for a used vehicle. I think you will be happy.

This is a great dealership! They worked with me and helped me get into a beautiful car in the midst of a stormy situation! I recommend them because they work with all credit and will go the extra mile to get you in the car you want! Stop by today! Mr. Nathan and Mr. Don are great and are doing a wonderful job!!

I had a great experience with the sales agent Jael. She was very helpful and polite. Went above and beyond his job duties to help me get into my car. I am so happy with this whole process. It was quick and easy, David was an amazing help with financing my car. He worked with me all week to discuss what options I had for payments and for my down payment. Everyone there was super helpful and gave me everything I needed. If you choose to come here, ask for Jael and David. Awesome salesperson .

amber was vary helpful in setting up my servicing on my challenger, would give her a 10 but they only have 5.

Our experience at the KC location was second to none; from our salesperson Mr. Ken Walker to finance department Jaime its been effortlessly done..thank you for a great gift for us (2025 Chevy Blazer), for our daughters (2024 Kia Forte) was truly a “happy holiday” for us!🙌🙌😁

Great experience from start to finish. We were driving 5 hrs so he did a live walk threw showing me the good bad and ugly. Everything was as advertised. We bought the car drove it home 5 hours and she's beautiful my wife and I are very happy. I would by another car from them anytime.

Fantastic people! Great to deal with, and very accommodating. A good car at a great price! Bought a used police car from Econo. A five hour drive one way was well worth the trip.
