I Bought Two Trashed Cadillac CTS-V From Salvage Auction

- The Cadillac CTS-V is a great sports sedan. The foundation being the formidable 6.2L Supercharged LSA V8 engine. With plenty of power potential and huge aftermarket support, the LSA engine is a favorite among hot rodders as well.
Unfortunately, this popularity for the engine and the other parts from the Cadillac CTS-V make them very difficult to buy from salvage auction. The Cadillac CTS-V is a popular choice for thieves and owners that simply want to keep parts before insurance takes the car. Both of these Cadillac CTS-V were incredibly cheap. Hopefully they have all the parts we are hoping they have!

This is why I would do terrible in this business, I would of fixed both of these.
I agree
The only thing better would be 2 ctsv wagons
Owch
The black one looked in the best condition at least that one could of got brought back to life
They can make more money parting them out.
Damn that black one was fixable ngl
I was thinking the Coupe doors are worth some money but if you guys are junking it, i learned something new lol
I was thinking the same thing. Unlike the Camaro where there were a lot of V6 versions so body parts are easy to get, I don’t think there were a lot of CTS coupes period. I would have thought the doors and trunk lids had some value or will in the future.
@@cheapme1850at least here in California CTS coupe are insanely common I see at least 3 a day
@@psycogamer500 where i live you dont see any cameros, or any cts/cts-v. althought you do see alot of dts's
Doors are kinda $700 each with trunk lid being anywhere between $250 and $500. This is about $3000 sent to junk, but once again - those might be extremely unpopular and won't even sell.
I cried when they crushed them 😢
What 😂
Did you miss the part where they were already crushed from the accidents?
@@joemother1098Not to the point where they couldn’t have been fixed.
Easy fix wow
@@joemother1098 go back and pay attention please. the most amount of damage is nearly identical. no damage on the doors. besides probably dings and scratches,
Thanks for keeping in the crushing part of the video. I love to watch the cars get crushed. It has always fascinated me. Thanks!
Freak
In 2013 I visited America and asked for a Cadillac hire car. My Dad owned a Cadillac back in Europe, so I thought it would be nice.
The car I was lent was gorgeous. A CTS in Black with very low miles. I loved it!
Surprised it lasted. The Value 3.6 was very well known for oil consumption.
@@PatientXero607 It looked fantastic in 2013.
The car crushing is the worst to watch 😭
Parts like fenders,trunks,door and door panels aren’t worth anything?
not worth their time, I regular people like us could buy cars like these. Would totally fix it
Thanks for reminding me to never bid on complete wrecks! If I can't drive it home, I'm not a player! Great video.
I always like these cars the design and everything
Me too. This is my favorite generation Cadillac CTS-V. I'm glad it came in different variations from a coupe, sedan, and wagon.
As always great content IMHO. It's interesting how much different the perspectives are between a wrecker who sees these types of cars and engine or drive trains often and knows it's very likely he'll see them again compared to a regular slob like myself who loves cars but isn't in the industry anymore.. Even when I was in the car world I sold them not built or tore them down etc. I would have been totally planning to build one awesome car out of the two then sell off whatever I didn't think I'd need in the future. I've wanted a "V" for years and to get two one which I think was the 600HP version and one that is a manual (Maybe both were from the higher HP years I'm not sure). I would have been over the moon LOL. Oh well.
So confused why you guys don’t part out the doors and quarters. Trunk and all that was good. I under might take a little long to sell but it’s still extra money. Maybe I’m wrong
It's because they don't have room for them/ time for the money they would get if they sold! Sure they might sell, but it's more for someone local vs shipping cost.
Why don't you guys keep doors? From what i've seen they're worth in some instances big money.
Not worth anything. same exact door as a cts coupe
@brenden221 the doors are between 250-500 each around here.
@@jeffhulsey989 I stand corrected, just checked local and ebay. You're right on your dollar figures. Maybe its not worth the space to them for how long it will take to sell? Who knows.
Cadillac body parts don't hold their value. Only the drivetrain is worth money when it comes to GM parts.
3:47 Almost! 🤏
Found a Caddy 06-09 NOS M -122 Supercharger (700 bucks NOS) and had it matted to an 02 LQ4 with a 4L80. It was then stuffed into a 92 GMC 1500 shorty.
Fun on the cheap.
15k for both. I think you guys paid way to much
I agree, I've actually seen one crashed CTS-V for about 5K and the engine still ran so they definitely got ripped off.
True
15k including fees so not that far off from the 5k
Hey I need the Part between the steering wheel and the rack. Thay little bar that connects them. Took ours apart a year ago and yeah don't know what happened to it.
You guys should get some drain tables for the fluids it’ll keep your nice floor clean
What is a drain table if you don't mind me asking and where is it usually put in or on a vehicle?
My favorite CTS-V generation.
my question is. dalt. what do you guys do with the tires that are still usable on bent/warped rims? do you toss them or sell them or keep them for personal use ;) *burnouts*
They both had a brutal end twice
I love these cars
You Don't Save Doors or Good Body Panels ?
Says it cost a lot of money to ship them so basically wouldn’t make enough money off of them
Was also wondering. We had a car we couldn’t source glass for from glass suppliers and the manufacturer, thankfully this side of the world they try and salvage everything so we were able to source.
@@KiingmtkSell locally?
you guys dont sell the trunks and the doors?
Same as the v6 version I believe so not really worth it
So sad for the v coupe lovers 😭😭😭
The end of this video was like watching to end of gone in sixty seconds😢
Should interview the salvage claw dude. "Do you love your job?" "F!@# yea and wreck S!@#, thank you Allie."
I noticed you didn’t save the doors or trunk and I am assuming it’s because they would take up too much space in the warehouse.
Love tearing things apart
hello,
why you don't keep doors, trunks, windshield and other glass parts...
Not worth much, low demand so hard to sell, cost a lot to ship, glass is easy to break, and they still get money from scrapping them
@@joemother1098 ok. Thank you
Do people not buy body parts or interior parts? Seems like alot got thrown away
2 in 1 package
those cars still had a lot of good parts left
I need tail lights and front headlights
I think it’s cool to see the scrap yard smashing the junk cars up
Coulda used alot of thoes parts that went to the dump on my 08 cts 😔
Can I buy one of the LSA motors ?!?!?
wish you would have fixed the black one :/
I’d take all those good parts
Best part the final smash. Keep it up!
10:47 aw man watch the paint
can i get the wheels off of the black v for free?
doors aren't worth keeping? surprising.
The Mask! 😅
Two collector cars just destroyed, they both could of been fixed.
I agree, they wasted two of the greatest cars ever made. Both of those could have been in the possession of a passionate car owner who would love to take care of them.
Hardly a collector car. They suffered from heat-soak and most of them are turned into street-drag cars.
Hey I need that.... Oh wait nevermind
Silent mode....a few moment later do not talk while you are doing your job, then music and than just sounds of the tools.
Haha
There was good body parts why wouldn’t they be sold instead of crushing them
Wow
You don't keep the bodies for parts
Rip cts v’s
Yup! 5 years from now all CTS-V models will be worth 100 Thousand or more. LOL. Just like the Camaros and Stangs from the glory days of Muscle. LOL.
Waste of cars could have rebuilt the both
Wassup
These 2 Died very young!🥲
or either set. i can do 500 bucks
Yoo
How much does a pair of lsa swaps go for right before race wars????😂
First
Y'all through away thousands of dollars... Smh good for you..... This channel sucks...
