R&A Auto Sales is proud to offer this elegant, rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan at an unbeatable price of $7,995 — putting genuine Cadillac craftsmanship within reach for Sacramento-area buyers on any budget.

About This 2009 Cadillac CTS Sedan

The 2009 Cadillac CTS represented a genuine turning point for the brand — sharper styling, a sportier driving feel, and a cabin that finally competed with European rivals. This particular example carries 127,040 miles, which is well within the expected lifespan for a properly maintained CTS powered by Cadillac's robust 3.6-liter V6. At this mileage and price point, it offers exceptional value for Sacramento buyers who want a premium driving experience without the premium price tag.

The gray exterior gives this CTS a refined, understated appearance that ages gracefully. Whether you're commuting through Midtown Sacramento, heading to a meeting in the downtown corridor, or cruising out toward Elk Grove or Roseville, this sedan commands attention without being flashy.

2009 Cadillac CTS Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Cadillac's 3.6-liter Direct Injection V6 — a significant engineering leap when it debuted. Direct injection technology improved both power output and fuel efficiency compared to earlier Cadillac powerplants, producing around 304 horsepower in this configuration. Paired with a smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission, the CTS delivers confident acceleration and composed highway cruising.

The rear-wheel-drive layout is a key differentiator in this class. While many competitors defaulted to front-wheel drive, Cadillac engineered the CTS with a proper RWD platform to deliver balanced handling and a more engaging driving experience. For Sacramento buyers who appreciate a car that actually responds to driver input, the CTS RWD setup is a genuine selling point — especially on open stretches of Highway 50 or Interstate 80 heading toward the Sierra foothills.

Cadillac CTS Features and Interior

The 2009 CTS Sedan was praised for its dramatic, angular interior design — a sharp departure from the soft, forgettable cabins of previous Cadillac generations. Buyers can expect available features such as a dual-zone automatic climate control system, a Bose premium audio setup, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and Cadillac's signature vertical taillamp design that carries through to interior trim details.

The cabin is sized for four adults in genuine comfort, with rear passengers benefiting from reasonable legroom for a sport sedan. The trunk offers practical cargo space for everyday use. At this trim level, the CTS strikes a balance between driver-focused sportiness and the luxury appointments Cadillac buyers expect.

Cadillac CTS Reliability and Ownership

The second-generation CTS (2008-2014) earned strong praise from automotive journalists and real-world owners alike. The 3.6-liter DI V6 is considered one of Cadillac's more durable engines from this era, with many examples surpassing 150,000 and even 200,000 miles when given proper maintenance — regular oil changes, coolant flushes, and attention to the timing chain system are the most important service items to keep current.

Common ownership considerations include monitoring the water pump and serpentine belt as mileage climbs, and keeping up with transmission fluid services on the 6-speed automatic. Overall, buyers who purchase a well-maintained CTS at this mileage typically enjoy years of reliable transportation at a fraction of the cost of a newer luxury vehicle. For value-conscious buyers in Sacramento County, a 127K-mile CTS at $7,995 is a genuinely compelling proposition.
