152 Cadillac CTS lots for sale across 104+ Copart locations — model years 2003–2019, avg. mileage 127,000 mi. 25% clean title, 68% salvage; Front End is the top damage (52%). Bids start at $200, and recent CTSs sold for a median winning bid around $1,500.
The CTS spans three generations in Cadillac's sport-sedan lineup, and all three turn up in the auction pool — first-gen cars from 2003-2007, the 2008-2013 generation that added a coupe and a wagon body, and the 2014-2019 cars built alongside the ATS. Over the last two years 34 salvage and repairable CTSs sold here, most between $1,000 and $3,000 before fees; front-end hits led at 26% of the sold cars. Older sedans with a tired V6 sit at the low end of that range, while a clean-title V-Series or a late 2.0T with low miles pushes toward the top. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
What to check tracks the generation. On 2004-2011 cars running the 3.6-liter V6, badged LY7 and then the direct-injection LLT, the timing chain and its tensioner are known to stretch and rattle on a cold start — GM revised the chain guides more than once, so a noisy start-up on an early 3.6 is worth pricing as a timing job, not just an oil change. The later LFX and LGX versions of the 3.6 improved the design, but the chain is still worth a listen on any high-mile car. Third-gen sedans mostly run the 2.0-liter turbo LTG four, which trades chain wear for carbon buildup on the intake valves from direct injection — expect a rough idle on a neglected example, and factor in a cleaning if the miles are high. The CTS-V, whether the supercharged 6.2 from the second generation or the later 6.2 LT4, is a different animal entirely; parts and expertise are specialized, so verify the VIN matches the badge before you pay a V-Series premium. On any generation, the wagon and coupe bodies are rarer than the sedan, so a straight one is worth chasing even with more damage. Hail and cosmetic damage sit at the safe end; a folded front clip on this unibody sedan is the one to price carefully. When it's folded past repair, the non-repairable CTS lots still go cheap for the drivetrain and interior.
