Mine was almost identical. Dec 24 email from Cadillac indicating the order was accepted. Received another email Feb 24 indicating it was en route to dealer. Arrived at Dallas Sewell March 5. TPW was week of Feb 9 and I believe it was produced that week.

I like both colors but I think a darker color suits the car a bit better - though it will show dirt faster. Definitely a manual! David sent me photos Thursday morning when it showed up out of the blue - 3 weeks sooner than the (unreliable) date shown on the Cadillac website.

Thanks and I love it! Power, handling, refinement, what's not to like? Since I am on a road trip I am using Google Maps - which is the built in navigation system. I think it's better than using it through Apple CarPlay. Still in the break in period so I haven't flogged it. Plus I tried to take...

All's well that ends well. I picked up my 2026 today at Sewell in Dallas. I'm only halfway through a long road trip home, but it's a chance to make up for 5 months of missed time. Special thanks to David Wiese @speedygonzalez - a true professional and fan of these cars.

I'm wondering if there is a difference in the card size compatibility for MY '22-24 and '25-26 - so caution may be advised.

Yes I heard directly from him that he left Sewell on Monday.

Really tough to get over an interior you don't like. OTOH not too hard to get color on brake calipers. I say pass. Good luck with your decision!

Could all that oil harm the cats? I'd want that checked too

It is awaiting auction at a CoPart yard. Wrecked, but still in one piece. https://www.copart.com/lot/82388965/clean-title-2024-cadillac-ct5-v-blackwing-mi-flint

I received a tragicomic email from onstar yesterday. The vehicle diagnostics look very strange (unless of course it's been in a crash):

Yikes! It so happens I got an order in this morning, but the goat rodeo doesn't inspire confidence. Maybe I should look around more aggressively.

I was looking for comparables before I understood that I would get replacement cost. There aren't many MY 2024s for sale out there. Plus mine had only 9900 miles and was in great shape. And a similarly equipped new one would cost $108K. All a long winded way of saying $95K might not be crazy...
