Potential new V owner Hey guys, looking into buying a 2005 Caddy. Anything I should be looking at in particular with this year? Its got 101,000 and there asking 12k for it at a dealership. Seems to be in pretty good shape, but I still need to see it in person. Are the high miles any cause of concern?

These cars run for a long long time when maintained. Many cars around here with 100k plus. Seems like a good price and the car looks clean.
I want those black seats. Buy it and ill trade u my grey seats... lol

2 WRECKS on autocheck. I would check the areas noted in the the report like the right front area. Spent a few years up north so look for corrosion too.

I wouldn't completely let those "wrecks" scare you away from a $12k V. Right rear corner sounds kinda like a parking lot accident. I'd have it fully inspected by a 3rd party or even someone else with V experience. If you were close to me I'd offer to help considering I've torn mine apart a good bit.
