TILTING THE PLAYING FIELD AGAIN!
204 - 209 Anglesea St, Hamilton ph 07 838 0949 | www.ebbett.co.nz
In May 2009 the EBBETT Group exclusively
acquired 88 3.6 litre Cadillacs, which had
been destined for launch in the Australian
and New Zealand markets.
A further 71 vehicles, a mix of 2.8 and 3.6
models built for the UK market are now
available due to the tough trading conditions
in the UK. We negotiated to purchase these
Cadillacs from General Motors and they will
be in New Zealand at the end of January.
The initial shipment of Cadillacs was a sell-
out success. This new shipment is possibly
the last opportunity to secure a world
icon built in right hand drive. Be one of an
exclusive group of New Zealanders to drive a
new CTS Cadillac.
These Cadillac CTS models are 2009 new
vehicles. They will be sold with a three-year,
100,000km warranty.
EBBETT Group has trained technicians and
will be connected to Cadillac through the
GM global computer system for all warranty
and service requirements. We have a great
stock holding of parts and easy access to
uncommon parts.
Priced from
$55,000 plus on-road costs 2.8 V6
$66,500 plus on-road costs 3.6 V6
This has to be the best value luxury car ever
sold in New Zealand.
Finance and lease packages are also
available.
