The Cadillac XTS nameplate was rather short-lived, lasting just a single generation. First launched in 2012 for the 2013 model year as a replacement for the Cadillac STS and DTS, the XTS was eventually replaced by the third-generation Cadillac CTS and Cadillac CT6. However, there is still this brand-new example up for sale on a dealer lot in North Carolina, offering up full-size four-door luxury at a discounted price.
Outside, this 2016 Cadillac XTS sedan is covered Dark Adriatic Blue paint, and comes equipped with heated, powered, and automatic-dimming sideview mirrors, a rear spoiler, and chrome tail pipe finishers. The sedan’s crisp styling lines are complemented by further brightwork around the windows, front fascia, lower profile, and door handles, while the multi-spoke wheels are sized at 19 inches in diameter.
Inside, this 2016 Cadillac XTS is adorned in Shale upholstery with Cocoa accents. Highlights in the cabin include heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, with genuine wood trim complementing a sea of leather. A 12.3-inch screen, SiriusXM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and 14-speaker Bose stereo round out the infotainment offerings.
Further highlights include several exterior parking camera angles and fully automatic HID headlamps.
Motivation is derived from the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LFX engine, which produces 304 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque. The ‘six connects to the Hydra-Matic 6T70 M7W six-speed automatic transmission, which routes output exclusively to the front wheels.
Final details include adaptive suspension and a head-up display. There’s also Apple CarPlay capability, a new addition for the 2016 model year.
Now, this new 2016 Cadillac XTS is up for sale in North Kinston, North Carolina, listed at $49,995. The odometer indicates just 68 miles on the clock.

KBB private party value is $29k.
$50K for a 4 year old car borders on insanity given what is currently available on the market as the base price of a 2020 Cadillac XT6 is $52K; who would want a 4-year old car when they can pay a little more and get something factory fresh as the seller is simply not serious.
biggest. ripoff. ever.
Might want to revisit the history of the XTS, the last model year was the 2020 year. The first paragraph makes it seem like in 2013 the XTS was replaced by the CTS and CT6, which is not true they all coexisted throughout the decade.
The current or the 2019-2020 XTS was a nice ride, definitely roomy in the back. A true Cadillac in every sense. Comfy, refining in the interior, careful details in every place, roomy, and luxurious. The only huge Flaw in this vehicle was the touch infotainment system that Cadillac screwed up big time. Couldn’t tell you how many times I almost crashed trying to turn on the AC, changing the volume, or switched a song. The lack of universal radio control panels on the steering wheel like the GM truck have is mind boggling.
I truly believe this car would have faired better in sales if it wasn’t for the lack of physical switches on the infotainment system. I don’t know how Cadillac users even bothered with it.
The fact that this dealer still has it on the lot tells me that the Dealership owner themself wants to keep it as a collectors item or he wants to sell it at a profit. Who on earth bothers to pay that much for a car that will depreciate faster because of its age.
If it had been in a heated/cooled garage for 4 years, it still wouldn’t be worth that price. They should have sold in 2017, even at a small loss. Now they have to wait for a fool or take a bigger loss after years of interest.
Check to see if this dealer is also hoarding an XT6 or two with the Blackwing V8.
I’d check to see if this guy still has a Cimmaron kicking around the back lot. I’m sure he could unload that for a tick under $40 grand.
Great car if it’s half as good as my 18 Impala Premier BUT $49K???? The 21s are rolling out making this car 5 model years old. I’d bet this dealer has year old used cars on his/ her lot as well!! Maybe 2 year old!
John T,
Intrigued by the possibilities you raised above, I Googled “Cadillac dealers in North Kinston, North Carolina,” and found , among others, Sale Auto Mall.
(The writer of the original article stated the location of the dealership, and the XTS has a decal reading “Sale” on the deck lid, all of which accounts for my brilliant detective work in narrowing the search).
And you are so right!
Sale seems to be one of those mega dealers with multiple car lines in one huge location.
And they have a couple of 4 cylinder CT-6s with 200 miles on them for about $10,000 less than the XTS’s $49,999.
There’s also a $31,000 XT 5 with about 30,000 miles on it — I think. (My stroke- impaired brain is shot),
The oldest USED Cadillacs they show are 2017s, which, IIRC, all 3 of these are.
I did not see Cadillac listed as one of their new car franchises, but I may have just missed it.
Interesting web site in any case.
Thanks for inspiring me to go look!
Never know, someone that really has their heart set on a XTS might come along and throw down $42….maybe. I wouldn’t, but if its a person that plans on driving it for 20 years then it might go, but not for 50gs.
Obviously, nobody wants it. Super old outdated FWD design. 20G tops.
Two huge issues here: Too much money for that old car and lack of AWD makes it undesirable at almost any price.l
In August, 1972, I was a salesman at a Lincoln – Mercury dealership.
We had a beautiful “left over” 1970 Lincoln Continental Town Car — I think that’s what they were called back then — literally “on the lot.” It was fully loaded, a gorgeous color, and a magnificent, stately, and most impressive luxury sedan.
Nobody could figure out why it hadn’t sold in 1970.
It sat on the lot through the summer sun and winter snow of the entire 1971 model year.
Well, it didn’t exactly sit there.
In those days, it was quite simple to disconnect the speedometer cable — which also disconnected the odometer.
Need a big car for a weekend trip?
Take the ‘70.
Somebody going to make a run to a deli or restaurant to bring back lunch or dinner for the sales crew?
Take the ‘70.
Think you can sell it if you take it home for a week or so?
Take it.
I took it home a few times. I loved it. And it didn’t bother me that it had been “exercised” frequently, and maintained fastidiously by the service manager.
So when the ‘73s were on the horizon, I asked about buying it. It was almost 3 years old, and had probably 20,000 miles on it. I worked there, for God’s sake, and figured I would get a great deal.
According to the dealership owner, I did.
The ‘71s had gone up. The ‘72’s had gone up. The ‘73s were going up even more. So invoice plus pack plus salesman’s (his) commission plus I don’t-remember-what was a terrific deal.
I don’t know what ever happened to that car; it was still there after I moved on. According to a friend who worked there a couple of years later, the boss said it could rust into the ground before he’d take a loss on it.
That dealership, too, is long gone.
I wonder if his grandson owns a Cadillac store down South somewhere.
“Take the 70” that’s awesome.
While it’s harder to fake all the excess miles, I’m sure some computer whiz in North Carolina, home of Research Triangle Park, could figure it out for the odd weekend.
A nice car but the asking price is ridiculous
