A 43,300-mile CTS-V wagon with the rare 6-speed manual. CLASSIC.COM currently categorizes the car as original or highly original, combining three things collectors care about: V8 wagon body, three pedals and relatively modest mileage.

The manual CTS-V wagon is one of the defining American enthusiast wagons of the last 20 years. A supercharged V8, rear-wheel drive and three pedals make it a legitimate collector reference point.

Additional verified evidence

Method: mileage pace is the listed odometer divided by model-year age. The comparison benchmark is average annual household-vehicle mileage for the same age band from the DOE/ORNL Transportation Energy Data Book, Table 9.9 ↗. Shown or TMU odometers are labeled and never treated as verified lifetime mileage.

Known-issue check

These are documented model/platform inspection points—not a claim that this vehicle has the problem. “Not stated” means the listing or history reviewed does not prove the item has been addressed.

Documented model issue / inspection pointEvidence sourceEvidence it was addressed on this car
Establish LSA supercharger service history and unit type; GM documents low-RPM rattle/buzz on later service-replacement unitsGM service bulletin via NHTSANot stated in the listing/history reviewed
Verify VIN-specific completion of the unintended ignition-key-rotation safety recallNHTSA recall 14V-394Not stated in the listing/history reviewed

Before you buy

Use the original listing and vehicle-history documentation to verify current availability, mileage, ownership history, service work, modifications and condition. A missing market benchmark or an issue marked “not stated” should be treated as an unanswered due-diligence question—not as a defect or a negative score.
