2009 609whp CTS-V - Black/Black Auto
Year: 2009

Price: $52000
Mileage: 9800
Color: Black
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): OH
Transmission: Automatic

So I’m considering selling my 2009 auto CTS-V. We are moving to Tiburon, CA in a couple weeks and after thinking about the hassle of shipping, re-tuning for 91, and all the registration headaches, it seems like it may make more sense to just sell the car before we move. I hate to do it because I absolutely LOVE the V as a daily driver, but the thought of commuting into San Francisco with the horrible parking garages, etc., makes me just want to blend in and get a Prius.
It is in absolutely perfect shape inside and out. No nicks, scratches, or chips anywhere. This is partly due to the fact that I had the entire car wrapped in a 3M cleat bra (except roof). As a result, it is practically maintenance free as far as a black car is concerned. It’s loaded with the exception of Recaro seats. I also added D3 lowering springs, powder coated the OEM wheels in black chrome, and tinted the windows (40%). It currently has approximately 9800 miles.
Patrick Sparks of Quality Motorsports did the engine modifications. In addition to the standard V bolt-ons (using some LPE pieces), we changed the cam, springs, and swapped the rear end to a new 3.73 from the 6-speed. We retained the stock downpipes and exhaust (with a cat delete) so it is still very quiet. It dyno’d 609whp on Andy’s dyno down in Dallas, Tx last fall. It’s been to the drag strip once, running a 10.95 @ 125 on its second pass before they stopped me. Oil has been changed 3 times. Factory recall on the rear toe link bolts was completed a few months ago. The only issue I’ve had with the car is the driver’s side magnetic door release was replaced while it was in for the recall. It runs perfect and my wife who occasionally drives it can’t tell it’s not quite stock.
I’m happy to take some pics and send to anyone who might be interested. I have $18k in mod/appearance receipts. I would sell for $52k for a quick sale. Title in hand.
As a little bonus, below is a short iphone video of me running my friend’s 2011 458 last month from a 40 roll. He shut it down before it got too ugly.

I truly wish I was in a position to get another car right now, as I would definitely jump on this. That car is the perfect daily!
Good luck with the sale, bro.

Sweet car- I was just complimenting you on this a few weeks back. Can't believe your moving on already.
Yah the are is reapply nice and lots of great drives to experience, not to mention some fantastic tracks out here.
I'm driving ThunderHill for the first time on Aug8th. Then Infineon Sept10. Let me know if either of these work for you.

Thanks guys for the compliments.
I never seem to be able to keep a car for more than a year...ughh!
As for Marin, agree, it's not a car friendly spot. Folks store millions of dollars worth of cars in personal collections, but rarely anything with built motors, etc. I can't wait to see how long it takes for someone to make a phone call after they spot a 55 gallon drum of C16 in my garage, being fed into a car with no cats. I give in one week!

Jamie,
The cops in that part of the world will pull you over and use a tail pipe sniffer on the spot.
Its not like here in Tx (and I imagine Ohio as well) where you just get hooked up to the OBD port once a year.

Let's not get carried away now. Jamie, the roads out here are not as bad as you are thinking. Certainly, once you down the coast a bit or across the Bay, you will like them. Do a trade plus cash for my E55 -- it seems to do just fine on the roads out here!

Awwww, Marin isn't that bad, although the traffic through the Waldo grade / GG bridge / Marina district will drive you batty. The ferry is the better way to go (bloody mary's in the morning and wine in the evenings). The civilized way to commute. All you need is a Smart42 :=)
