I shopped for an '08 CTS at Cadillac of Norwood (Norwood, MA) and at Frost Motors (Newton, MA). The experiences could not have been more different. Cadillac of Norwood - The salesman did not realize that the new CTS has 2 engine options (not an exaggeration!) and my references to the FE1, FE2 and FE3 packages meant nothing to him. I noticed that the online inventory listed a CTS with my preferred color, but no reference to the particular FE package - so over the phone I asked the salesperson to check as to whether that particular (in stock) car had FE2 - the response I got back was a faxed handscribbled list of all of the options that the car had (sunroof, etc.), but no reference to the FE package! Frost Cadillac - Salesperson was knowledgeable about the new model, very professional in the price negotiations and the dealership arranged financing that was .25% better than the best I could find after obtaining my own quotes online. A great buying experience. |

| letsgomets.. you said you leased your unit? What was the sticker and final price on which you based your lease payments? Thanks. | |
I live north of Boston...thank you for sharing your experience with different Cadillac dealers. Although I have not purchased a vehicle from Frost Cadillac, I have always been treated well when I was looking. How much over invoice did you pay? I am interested in the CTS4 with the Premium luxury collection package. Did you lease it?

| my auto purchase service through my bank lets me purchase the CTS...regardless of options for $950 over invoice..which includes the $745 destination charge....meaning not added on after the sale price of the car.......cant seem to beat that deal anywhere....since I dont have GM family discounts......amounts to about a $2900 savings on the CTS and options Im looking at... | |

Replying to: pao (Sep 27, 2007 6:15 am) For GM Supplier, go to http://www.gmsupplierdiscount.com For GM Employee, go to http://www.gmfamilyfirst.com In either case, select "Build your own" from the "Vehicle Shopping" drop down menu at the top of the page. Build your own vehicle and see the gm employee or supplier discount price. On the CTS my neighbor bought, the GM employee discount is another $1800! Turns out that I did the math and the discounts break down like this: GM Supplier: 5% discount on base MSRP (excl. destination), 16.4% on options GM Employee: 9% discount on base MSRP (excl. destination), 20% on options Basically, GM supplier is GM employee plus about 4.5% GM employee seems to be about invoice minus 3%, which is what I believe dealer cost is after the holdback (3% for cadillac). In case anyone was wondering...
