Curated by Cadillac - Hand built CT5BW

[ernsteeng]

If I get one, I will definitely post pics and share about the process

I was just emailed that they have an allocation for me. I haven’t pulled the trigger. I need more info besides the marketing release. It needs to be built by oct 23 and would be q1 production.

How much deposit $ are they looking for to submit your build/spec?

 

[ernsteeng]

I haven’t gotten that far yet

I hope cadillac opens the configurator after orders are placed so us commoners that can't afford it can play around and fantasize about what we would do. I think it is super cool cadillac is doing this. I would have definitely paid more to have a larger selection of exterior colors to find that one color I really love.

Here is the info from Cadillac.

IDK how I would ever decide on a config.

 

[ernsteeng]

I need to sit down with it on my laptop plugged into the docking station where I can see it easier. I haves couple of huge monitors. Im having trouble deciding what I would want to do. But that is also what their concierge would help me decide. Call me crazy but I still really like rift metallic…

 

[shbox]

LOL on the Rift Metallic. That was the color that sold me on my 2022. It's funny that it seems to get more looks now than before. Maybe because the color has been out of circulation for a few years now.

I have a 23 that I custom built. I should have done rift instead of the black raven. The black looks awesome but is always dirty looking. I’ll wash it and have a drive, then come back home and it is covered in dust…

is there a detailed explanation of pricing anywhere? or is it the same pricing the same for options as a regular Blackwing but with a base price that is $50,000 more

I read as +$50k to the base - so that's the $158k. You might as well go all in at that point (all CF, Precision, etc.), so figure ~$200k. And it says delivered via enclosed trailer, so likely plus that cost as well (it could be included in the base tho as it's a bit higher)

And this isn't actually that crazy? I saw some of the paint and sticker-specials (anniversary, le monstre) in the mid $170s... so if I'm in that deep, I'd happily go another ~$20k for a truly bespoke ride

I will hopefully find out more info today. I took the allocation.

Plus as long as you do something tasteful you'll probably be able to recover a lot of that if you ever decide to sell.

watching used car prices pretty regularly I find that brighter and fun colors that are done tastefully sell really well. Grays, silvers, blacks can be easier to sell, but usually for significantly less.

I'm pretty envious that you get to do this, granted its out of my budget, but still cool you get to do it.

looking forward to going thru that PDF you posted

 

[ernsteeng]

I went thru and did a new build of a 26bw and it came to around 138 with the options I’m selecting. This one will have all the carbon fiber including seatbacks. If I’m spending this kind of money I’m checking all, or most, of the boxes. I asked roughly about pricing on friday and said it was about a 50k up charge. He agreed and said roughly.

 

[1Evil55]

I can't wait to see the color combo's

 

[fordperfaddict]

congratulations! What an awesome opportunity

 

[ernsteeng]

I’m still waiting for more information. I think the program just opened last week on the 5bw. Maybe they are waiting for all the allocations to be taken before going to the next steps. I haven’t gotten into the configurator yet.

 

[ernsteeng]

There is an issue with the Cadillac’s ordering website. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

 

[ernsteeng]

I meet with the concierge and build mine on Monday morning.
