Cadillac CTS-V Depreciation & Resale Value

Cadillac CTS-V keeps an estimated 66% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #203 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Cadillac CTS-V retains an estimated 66% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #203 of 684 cars we track. That is 11 points above the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Cadillac CTS-V sheds about 7% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $86,995 it falls to around $57,677 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,318, about $16.06 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cadillac CTS-V bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
