Bruce Nunnally Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 This site is interesting: http://www.compnine.com It has a VIN decoder -- put in the VIN for your Cadillac and it will read out options based on the VIN. http://www.compnine.com/vid.php The site also has some exploded diagrams for Cadillacs -- click on Cadillac in the left margin menu then on year then on model. The Recall Database, Service Bulletin, and RPO database are also of interest. Information is presented sometimes in an awkward way, but in this case the fact that you can so easily find the info at all is nice. Apparently the site is a parts catalog that allows you to drill down and order parts. That feature seems fairly subtle to me, but it is interesting to see side by side part price comparisons, like the LS2 V8 engine costs around $2K less than the 3.6L V6. So theoretically GM could offer a 425 hp CTS for LESS than the current CTS V6!

Jan Olsson Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I like the fact that it has a RPO decoder. It's always nice to slap a dealer in his face with facts compared to "this car has everything, it's a Cadillac". Everything over here seems to be automatic transmission and leather seats... Great site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 That is one of my pet peeves when shopping used car ads. I would prefer that they list the actual options on the car, then list all the standard features. Claiming that a car is 'fully loaded' when it is not is just wrong.
