Joe Biden’s Cadillac ATS-V Is Up For Auction
Joe Biden has been riding around in secret service Cadillacs for the better part of the past two decades, and it seems like he cant get enough of the brand.
Between his terms as Vice President and President, Biden purchased a Cadillac ATS-V high performance sedan that’s now up for auction.
The 2018 model is unique as it is the only ATS-V that combines a Black Raven paint job with a Kona Brown interior.
Biden paid $72,975 for the car and kept it until 2020, the year he was elected president. It’s being auctioned on the Cars & Bids website.

It racked up approximately 12,000 of the 15,900 miles that are currently on its odometer during his ownership.

The ATS-V is powered by a 3.6-liter turbocharged V6 that sends 464 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.
Biden’s car is equipped with an 8-speed automatic and rated at 20 mpg combined, so it definitely doesn’t qualify for the federal clean vehicle tax credits championed by his administration.
