Model overview

Model description

The Cadillac CTS-V blends the refinement of a luxury car with the potency of one of GM’s most powerful engines. There were three ways to enjoy the 2012 Cadillac CTS-V – Sedan, Coupe, or Sport Wagon. All three feature a pronounced power-dome hood,, chrome mesh front grille, and aerodynamic lower front bodywork. The Coupe features a more aggressive lower front clip and unique center-mounted exhaust outlets. The Sport Wagon also has a unique look, and the benefit of up to 58 cubic feet of cargo space. A standard 2012 Cadillac CTS-V started at around $63,000.

The CTS-V is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V8, which is based on the LS9 V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The LSA makes 556 horsepower and 551 pound feet of torque, routed to the rear wheels through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. CTS-Vs with a manual, especially wagons, are particularly desirable.

More than just a straight-line machine, the CTS-V features the outstanding MagneRide suspension system which instantly responds to the road conditions. The CTS-V also features Brembo brakes at all four corners, Michelin Pilot Sport performance tires, and 19-inch wheels (9 inches wide in front, 9.5 in the rear).

Standard features include leather and Alcantara upholstery. This suede-like material is found on the steering wheel and shift handle, and will help with grip even on hot days on the track. For 2012, all three CTS-V variants received standard rain-sensing windshield wipers. The CTS-V Coupe also came standard with blind-spot monitoring, which should help with the blind spots created by its massive C-pillars. A wise option to seek out when looking for a CTS-V are the optional Recaro bucket seats. The 14-way power-adjustable seats are well-bolstered and are also heated and ventilated.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
