The figures below were computed by an earlier build of the analysis and do not carry later corrections to it. Refreshing this case file recomputes them from the same cars.

A 668-hp manual super-sedan that has shed roughly 30% of its 2022-23 auction value — the market now pays for spec sheets (CF1/CF2, carbon-ceramics, three pedals, delivery miles), not for badges or MSRP.

The market

Across all 83 completed BaT auctions the sold median is $96,639 (mean $97,959, 25th pct $87,375, 75th pct $105,000, full range $77,000–$136,500), but that headline number is a historical artefact. The year-by-year medians tell the real story: $125,068 in 2022 (n=4), $108,500 in 2023 (n=8), $94,000 in 2024 (n=21), $93,000 in 2025 (n=17), $87,750 in 2026 (n=8). Trailing-twelve-months median is $90,000 against $96,639 the year before, -6.9%. The scarcity premium of the launch years is gone; what remains is a slow grind down as more cars come to market and buyers absorb the fact that Cadillac kept building them through 2026.

Sell-through is 69.9% (58 sold of 83), and the 25 no-sales cluster tightly around one cause: sellers anchoring on MSRP or on build cost. 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed cars failed three times in the deep-analysed set — $135,000 against a $144,390 sticker, $117,000 against $139,500, and $95,000 against $107,960 — with badcad writing on the second of those, "wow no bids after 7/25/26. Very unusual. Given the CF1/2 and upgraded interior which is very hard to get this should have sold very close to MSRP." It did not. Meanwhile 2022–24 cars with real miles keep trading: 23k-Mile 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed at $80,501, 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed (15,000 miles, CF1, carbon-ceramics) at $86,000, and the 9,600-mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed out of Denver at $80,500. That $80–88k band is the current floor for a driven manual car.

The spread between a good one and an ordinary one is roughly $40k on identical mechanicals. At the top, 3-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed brought $118,000, 11-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $111,000, 4,300-Mile 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $114,333, and the most recent sale in the file, 2,300-Mile 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed, hit $127,305 on 2026-09-17. At the bottom, 6k-Mile 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing — an automatic with 6,000 miles, full PPF and a transferable 8yr/80k warranty — sold for $79,000, prompting JakeTheSnake115: "This is wildly cheaper than I thought it would go." Mileage alone does not explain that gap; option content and transmission do.

One caution on the transmission statistics: the computed medians are Manual $91,000 (n=26) versus Automatic $89,500 (n=6). That is a $1,500 gap on a six-car automatic sample — statistically nothing. The qualitative record is far more emphatic than the arithmetic: automatics that stumbled include 1,200-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (RNM at $76,500) and 46-Mile 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Edition (RNM at $134,000), while the automatics that did sell were either heavily optioned anniversary cars or cheap. On colour, only two have five or more cars: Black Raven $96,500 (n=5) and Summit White $89,500 (n=5) — suggestive, not conclusive.

What moves the price

Median by transmission

Median by exterior colour

Cuts with fewer than 5 cars are left out of the two tables above: Deep Space Metallic (exterior colour, 1 car), Satin Steel Metallic (exterior colour, 1 car), Shadow Metallic (exterior colour, 3 cars), Wave Metallic (exterior colour, 3 cars), Argent Silver Metallic (exterior colour, 2 cars), Rift Metallic (exterior colour, 3 cars), Radiant Red Tintcoat (exterior colour, 2 cars), Dark Emerald Frost Matte (exterior colour, 1 car), and 4 more. A median of two or three cars is not an estimate of anything, and sorted beside a real one it reads as a price difference that the record does not actually support.

Known issues

Pre-purchase checklist

• Reconcile the window sticker against the physical car, item by item: CF1 front splitter, grille header, rocker extensions and the two carbon wheel-well deflectors; CF2 rear spoiler and diffuser; the PDR memory-stick slot; rear camera mirror; front/rear park assist (option code 00Z means credited-out and possibly retrofitted later).
• Confirm open GM field action N242435630 (Serial Data Gateway Module / battery drain) has been performed, and ask for the dealer invoice — not just the seller's word.
• Get a four-wheel alignment printout. If it is a Precision Package car, verify the toe links are installed on the car and the alignment post-dates that install.
• Put it on a lift. Photograph the oil pan, the H-pipe, subframe fasteners, the underside of the front splitter and the inner wheel barrels. Distinguish benign muffler drain-hole soot from actual salt corrosion.
• Paint-meter the front fascia, hood and fenders. Several delivery-mile cars in this set had pre-delivery bumper or impact-bar repairs that Carfax reported only as a service line.
• On any car with under 5,000 miles that is more than two years old, ask where it was stored and whether the battery was on a tender; check tyre date codes against claimed replacements and inspect for flat-spotting on Pilot Sport 4S/Cup2 rubber.
• On iron-rotor cars, drive it above 70 mph and brake hard from speed — look for pulsation; on ceramic cars, check for chipped or cracked rotor edges and confirm caliper colour matches the sticker.
• Call a Cadillac dealer with the VIN before bidding: in-service date, remaining B2B (4yr/50k) and powertrain (6yr/70k) coverage, and confirm coverage transfers to you. Do this specifically on Canadian-market cars and on cars being flipped within 12 months of delivery.
• Check the title for a lien — this model's BaT record is littered with them, including one post-sale dispute. Ask for a lien-release letter or payoff confirmation in writing before you wire funds.
• Test every drive mode and the MagneRide, cycle the rev-match and no-lift-shift, and check the clutch take-up. Manual cars have no AFM or stop/start — confirm you are actually buying the Tremec car and not an auto misdescribed in the title.
• Inspect carbon interior trim around the shifter and the carbon seatbacks for cracks and squeaks; note whether the sticker shows the $2,900 carbon seatback delete.
• If the car is wrapped, budget for removal and inspect underneath before bidding — a wrap hides paint and, per this record, actively suppresses the price.

Ask the seller

1. Can you send the full window sticker and confirm CF1 and CF2 content is physically present, including the carbon wheel-well deflectors?
2. Has field action N242435630 been completed, and can you email the dealer repair order showing it?
3. Do you have a recent alignment printout? Were the Precision Package toe links installed by the dealer, and when?
4. Has the oil pan, rear main or any exhaust component (cats, manifold) ever been serviced or replaced under warranty? Can I see the claim history from the dealer?
5. Has this car ever seen a track day, autocross or a driving school with lapping — and are the multiple short-interval service entries on the Carfax track-related?
6. What is the winter storage story: garaged, battery tender, any salt-road exposure or northern registration?
7. Is there a lien? Who holds it, what is the payoff, and will you provide a lien release before transport?
8. Was this car ever wrapped or resprayed, and can I have paint-meter readings on the front clip, hood and fenders?
9. Was the front bumper, impact bar or any panel repaired before you took delivery? If the dealer did transport-damage work, can you get the repair order released?
10. Have you confirmed with Cadillac that the balance of factory warranty transfers to me — specifically if you have owned it under 12 months, or if the car was originally Canadian?
11. How many prior owners appear on the Carfax as title events (not your count), and why did each sell?
12. For 2025-26 cars: what did you actually pay, and what is your reserve? These have failed reserve at $95k, $117k and $135k on BaT — I want to know we are not in that territory.

Walk away when

• Sellers anchored to MSRP or build cost. Every reserve failure in this set traces to it: $135,000 asked against $144,390 sticker, $117,000 against $139,500, $95,000 against $107,960, and a 2024 Canadian car that stalled at $75,777 when "Seller paid $77k USD for this new. I'm out" (evoshift). MSRP is irrelevant to this market now.
• Liens disclosed late or not at all. On 11-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed the buyer discovered an active Vermont lien after the hammer despite the listing claiming a clean title, and threatened to walk. Treat any lien as unresolved until you see the release.
• Base-spec automatics priced like optioned manuals. 1,200-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing — described by thefleshrocket as "about as close to a stripper model 5BW as you could get" — failed at $76,500 with only 1,200 miles. No amount of low mileage rescues a no-option car.
• Full vinyl wraps over desirable factory paint, and aftermarket hood stripes laid over PPF. Both examples in this set failed to sell.
• Dealer or enthusiast-flipper sellers with immediate turnover: a car bought CPO and relisted inside 30 days, a 2026 whose seller said "gotta keep my money working to buy more cool inventory," and a 2024 flipped after one year and 15,000 miles whose owner refused a requested paint-meter reading. Ask harder in these threads, not less.
• Delivery-mile cars with scraped splitters, scuffed inner rims or replaced impact bars — the transport chain on these did real damage and sellers often 'don't recall' it.
• Undercarriage photos withheld or unavailable before close. It happened on the 2026 with the oil-pan question, and on the Le Monstre the photos that did exist cost the seller his highest bidder.
• Consensus valuations from the same recurring commenters. badcad, AZSkye and Zenk appear across dozens of threads and are consistently 15-25% above where cars actually hammer — "I'm thinking 110k" preceded an $86,000 sale. Enthusiasm in the thread is not a comp.

Budget

Driver-grade, 8,000-23,000 miles, manual, modest options, clean history: $79,000-$88,000. That band is well established — $80,501 for 23k-Mile 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed, $80,500 for the 9,600-mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed, $86,000 for the 15,000-mile 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed, $87,000 for 5k-Mile 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed. Base automatics live at the bottom of it or just below: $79,000-$85,000.

Strong example — under 5,000 miles, manual, CF1 and ideally CF2, upgraded interior, clean single-owner Carfax: $90,000-$102,000. Examples: 1,900-Mile 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed at $82,843 (no carbon, hence low), 4,800-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed at $93,000, No Reserve: 4,900-Mile 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed at $93,500, 123-Mile 2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed at $96,777, and two at exactly $102,000 — the 5,000-mile Rift Metallic 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed and 65-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed.

Best-in-class — effectively new (under ~2,500 miles), manual, CF1/CF2 plus carbon-ceramics or Precision Package, documented single owner: $110,000-$127,000, and you should expect to be the only person bidding there. 11-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $111,000; 29-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 120th Anniversary Edition 6-Speed $111,000; 3-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $118,000; 2,300-Mile 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $127,305. Above $127,000 the record is nothing but unsold cars.

For 2026 cars specifically: there is no clearing price in this data — three offered, three unsold at $95,000, $117,000 and $135,000. Anchor an offer on a comparable 2024-25 result plus a modest allowance for warranty, not on the sticker.

Outliers

2,300-Mile 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $127,305

The highest sold price in the last two years and roughly 41% above the trailing-12-month median of $90,000. One owner, 2,300 miles, manual, Precision Package with carbon-ceramics, and a two-bidder duel (Paul765lt vs Mo305) from a $20,000 open. badcad had called it at "worth 120k" — it beat that. Proof that a genuinely fresh, correctly optioned facelift manual can still print a big number even in a falling market.

4,300-Mile 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $114,333

Sold roughly $13k over its $111,005 original MSRP with no CF1/CF2. Three bidders ran it up; Jmassey03 called it directly: "100% overpaid. By no means is this the current market... This car wasn't worth more than $95k with the BaT fee." A late-bidding artefact, not a comp.

3-Mile 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $118,000

Effectively a new car sold at no reserve — CF1/CF2, carbon-ceramics, Electric Blue, 3 miles, still under factory protective film — yet it went $10,990 under its $128,990 sticker, prompting bobshm's "the seller is happy? Brand new, never driven. What was the point?" Sets the practical ceiling for delivery-mile pre-facelift cars.

6k-Mile 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing $79,000

The weakest result of any sub-10,000-mile car in the set: one owner, 6,000 miles, CF1 added, full XPEL, ceramic coat, transferable 8yr/80k warranty — but an automatic, and carrying a ~$35k lien. JakeTheSnake115: "This is wildly cheaper than I thought it would go." The automatic discount in its purest form.

2024 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $86,000

Manual, CF1, carbon-ceramics, PDR, full XPEL and ceramic coating on a $122,490 build with 15,000 miles — sold for $86,000. badcad opened the thread at "I'm thinking 110k"; AZSkye closed it with "Wow. $86K!!!??? A fantastic deal for the buyer." The clearest evidence that 15k miles and 2024 model year now cost you more than the option list returns.

2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing $85,000

2,600 miles, rare Dark Emerald Frost (~104 built for 2022), Natural Tan with carbon seatbacks, $104,930 MSRP — but automatic. Zenk, an owner, posted "This car is worth at least $20k more than the current bid." It sold at $85,000 anyway. Rare colour plus rare interior did not offset two pedals.

46-Mile 2025 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing Le Monstre Edition $134,000

#70 of 101 worldwide, 46 miles, and still unsold at $134,000. An automatic-only special edition with a voided glass and paint warranty and visible undercarriage corrosion that drove bidder deepsee71 out. tcolum's warning — "the anniversary cars have shown steep decline (I own one)" — is the lesson: limited-edition badging is not the value driver on this model.

2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing 6-Speed $79,574

Maverick Noir Frost, manual, slicktop, 19,000 miles — a spec Techdude99 called "a collector's car" — yet RNM at $79,574 because the original paint was buried under an 18-month-old satin vinyl wrap with peeling edges. thefleshrocket: "There's probably extra money to be had for a buyer who specifically wants the maverick noir frost paint, but not with it hidden under a wrap."

Verdict

Buy the spec sheet, not the story. The right car is a pre-facelift (2022-24) six-speed with CF1/CF2, the upgraded interior, ideally carbon-ceramics, under 5,000 miles and a single owner — and at today's money that is $90,000-$102,000, roughly 20-25% off what it stickered for. If you intend to drive it, a 10,000-20,000-mile manual at $80,000-$88,000 is the value play in this entire dataset and the mechanicals appear to be holding up: badcad, who has tracked his seven times, reports it "flawless," and the only recurring hard failures in 40 threads are catalytic converters on one high-mile car and a single oil-pan mention. What you should not do is pay anniversary-edition or 2026 money. Median prices have fallen every year since 2022 ($125,068 to $87,750), the trailing year is down 6.9%, and 30% of consignments fail to sell — almost always because the seller is pricing off a window sticker. Let them fail, then buy the relisting.

Several planks here are thin and should be discounted accordingly. The transmission comparison rests on just six automatics against 26 manuals — the $1,500 median gap is meaningless, and my stronger claim about the automatic discount is built on thread sentiment plus two reserve failures, not on statistics. Colour analysis is effectively unusable: only Black Raven (n=5) and Summit White (n=5) clear the threshold, and twelve other colours have one to three cars each, so do not read a premium into Maverick Noir Frost, Radiant Red or Dark Emerald Frost however much commenters praise them. The early-year medians are tiny samples (four cars in 2022, eight in 2023), so the peak-to-trough decline is directionally sound but imprecise. Option content is not captured in the computed statistics at all — my CF1/CF2 premium is inferred by comparing individual listings, and those cars differ in mileage, year and colour simultaneously, so the $10-20k figure is an estimate rather than a measurement. 2026 model-year pricing is genuinely unknown: three offered, none sold. Finally, almost every technical claim about failure points comes from BaT comment threads. A handful of prolific commenters (badcad, AZSkye, Zenk, thefleshrocket, manofmanuals) appear across many of these listings; they are credible owners, but they are strangers with opinions, they consistently over-forecast hammer prices, and claims like the oil-pan leak, the factory misalignment and the CT4 rotor warping each rest on a single post with no documentation attached.
