Are there any high mileage concerns I should have that are unique to this car? ie - supercharger?

Asked by Dane Jun 04, 2010 at 09:13 PM about the 2006 Cadillac STS-V

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

Im looking at buying a STSV with 63K miles on it. A little concerned about the mileage but not many of these cars around...

All the reviews I've read speak to the performance but can it handle the daily grind?

only buy the car as a second car, mine with only 38k miles has been to the shop over 40 times, lucky me, it was all under warr. and the parts are very expensive, are always special order so it takes a long time to get, and are difficult to work on. many maint items such as brakes, cost about 3 times as much as a normal car, have to buy special run flat tires because there is no spare and those can run $1500 or more, even the serp belt take over 4 hrs to change, normal car takes 30 min at most. although i had lots of issues, i like the car, fast, great options, lots of attention
