2025 Celestiq Hits Used Market in California for Nearly Half a Million

New 2025 Celestiq appears for sale in California for US$ 499,950, featuring Dolce Metallic paint and an artisanal interior in the spotlight.

2025 Celestiq Shines Again in California's Luxury Market

Another unit of the 2025 Celestiq, Cadillac's bespoke flagship, reappears in the luxury market, this time in Southern California. Galpin Aston Martin dealership in Van Nuys listed the car for US$ 499,950 on the duPont Registry.

This appearance in the secondary market, right after its launch, offers interested parties a chance to acquire an example without the long order slot — albeit at a steep price.

This particular Celestiq holds significance for collectors. It displays the Dolce Metallic paint, the same shade found on VIN 001, the first example produced for an owner. The interior combines burgundy and cream tones, highlighting the customization available through the Artisan Center in Warren, Michigan.

With a six-figure price tag, the Celestiq represents the pinnacle of General Motors engineering. The vehicle uses GM's Ultium platform, featuring a 111 kWh battery that powers all four wheels.

• Four HD screens surrounding the cabin, including a massive 55-inch display on the dash and two 12.6-inch entertainment screens for rear passengers.
• World-first feature: the four-zone Smart Glass roof, allowing each occupant to adjust the tint of their own section.
• ClimateSense climate control offering microclimate control for the four seats, with heated armrests and neck warmers for added comfort.

The AKG Studio Reference sound system with 38 speakers, featuring Dolby Atmos, also offers external speakers for moments of outdoor music. Every button and fitting is machined metal, with leather quality surpassing previous Cadillac models. T30 screws with engravings remind owners that they have entered a new level of American luxury.

The presence of another low-mileage Celestiq on the market suggests a consolidation of Cadillac's extreme luxury segment. Its availability as a used model so soon raises curiosity as to why the original owner, who went through a very involved ordering process, chose to sell so early. Despite the production line tag, the price remains in exotic car territory, competing with hand-built European machines. For those watching the Los Angeles market, this Celestiq represents a living legend of GM history without the waiting time.

We want to know your opinion: would you pay nearly half a million for a ready Celestiq, with this level of customization and artisanal finishing, or would you prefer to wait for the custom order and bespoke personalization?
