The CTS-V Wagon has always been my dream daily driver. So when one popped up on CarMax with only 12k miles I decided to jump on it. Paid to have CarMax ship the V Wagon to my local store, and it’s still in transit, so I haven’t bought it yet. But after running the VIN through a command F on this google doc: https://www.cadillacforums.com/threads/extensive-v2-production-number-breakdown.960330/ I discovered that the V Wagon I’m waiting on spent the first 6k miles of its life as a member of Cadillac Racing’s Infineon fleet.
So guys and gals…totally not a red flag right? Right?
For BMW M school cars they refuse to cpo the cars before selling. Last time I was at their school told me that they would inspect all of the normal cpo parts and replace any before selling but they don’t check the engine or transmission.
Cadillac is doing something similar. They’re not CPOing it and selling it at local dealers. A PPI isn’t going to expose early engine or transmission wear either. So if you do get one… get the carmax warranty. You can probably assume it’s gonna be in good condition otherwise tho.
This is great insight, thanks.
