Default How many V's are left in the world?

Anyone have any guesses as to how many of our 1st gen V's are left? Below are production numbers. I'm curious just how rare they are these days as I never see them. If I had to guess, I'd say maybe half of them are gone.

2004: 2461

2005: 3508

2006: 3052

2007: 1176

Total: 10197

Awesome man! What are your plans? I've got my 05 at 107k mi. Feels like I fix something every month, but I can't help myself. Because, when I put my foot down, it makes it all worth it.

Average life expectancy of cars is around 10 years. I would think with all the part outs (Via the dread pirate Facebook) and just attrition, it's closer to 1/4 left.

From back in the day Cadillac forums numbers were quite a few less: 2004 2461, 2005: 3508, 2006 1201 and 2007 only 898 Total 8068.
Actually, I seem to remember total was 7998 or something like that.
I hardly ever see them around. I bought my 2006 Infrared in Dec 2006 and still have it, 96000 miles. Never winter drive it. I use it for highway holidays, going to Las Vegas at end of month.
I recently bought a salvage 2016 ATSV coupe manual Red with Black interior. I am still working on it.I am interested to see the difference in driving.

I did get the numbers from the wiki, which were pulled from this Cadillac forums post. Not sure how much of a guess these are. It was guestimated back in 2011 that only one in 15000 cars on the road are a 1st gen V. I'd reckon that number has probably nearly 1 in 20000 now.

I have my 06 with now 158k miles. 155k at cam swap.

Bought at 88,000 miles in May 2016 for 8k USD.

It's with me overseas in Abu Dhabi.

At least 3 others 1 05 and 1 06, and an 07. I'm the only one who is registered and road legal in UAE.
