- Cadillac built just 25 Celestiqs for the 2025 model year.
- Buyers can skip the waiting list with this dealer-listed car.
- Exterior paint alone adds a hefty $15,900 to the total price.
The Celestiq isn’t just Cadillac’s fanciest and most extravagant car in decades, it also carries the highest price tag in the brand’s history. And with only 25 examples scheduled for production in 2025, it’s one of the rarest Cadillacs ever made too. An ultra-luxury trifecta, really.
You can’t just hop onto Cadillac’s website and place an order, either. Buying a Celestiq involves direct contact with the brand, followed by a wait, possibly a long one.
The process is more aligned with how Rolls-Royce or Ferrari handles their customers, complete with a bespoke configuration experience where virtually every detail is customizable. No two cars will leave the factory looking the same.

Yet now, as picked up by Road&Track, one of these elusive machines has surfaced for sale, at a Cadillac dealership, no less. The car is currently listed through Cadillac Beverly Hills.
The dealership hasn’t confirmed whether the original buyer backed out post-delivery, or if there’s another story behind how it ended up on the lot. Either way, it presents a rare opportunity for someone to bypass the usual waitlist, assuming one still exists.
How Much Does Bespoke Cost?
Cadillac hasn’t really shared many details publicly, including exact pricing. For the 2025 model year, the starting figure was confirmed at around $340,000. That’s since crept up, with the 2026 Celestiq now beginning in the “low $400,000s”, and that’s before diving into options.

What makes this particular Celestiq even more interesting is that its spec sheet provides a rare peek behind the curtain at individual option pricing. The exterior is finished in Abalone White Tricoat, a paint choice that adds $15,900 to the bill.
It has also been equipped with a flamboyant combination of blue and orange leather upholstery that cost $8,910, as well as a $1,525 Cadillac Crest headstone ornament, and a $4,000 Uranus Recycled Paper Wood ornamental finish.

Inside, things get even more colorful. The cabin features a mix of bright blue and vivid orange leather, a combination priced at $8,910. There’s also a $1,525 Cadillac Crest headstone ornament, plus a $4,000 interior trim made from Uranus Recycled Paper Wood.
Would You Pay This Much?
The dealer is asking $418,575 for the rare luxury EV. That’s a lot of money, particularly since prices for the 2025 Celestiq the 2025 version started well below that before options were added. But with the 2026 Celestiq now beginning above $400,000, the dealer’s price isn’t entirely out of step.
There’s no doubt that the 650-horsepower Celestiq is special, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this car ends up sitting on the lot for quite some time. A buyer needs to be convinced to buy this, as opposed to a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and love the striking color combination, which we suspect will divide opinions.
