Replying to: 150mphclub (Sep 24, 2007 4:31 pm) In case you are in the market for a CTS, there is one way to get a great deal considering the popularity of these new cars. Find a friend or family member who has a GM discount. I just shared my GM supplier (not as good as GM employee, but better than MSRP) with my neighbor last night. He said the salesman was just about to print the final paperwork when I text messaged him that I discovered that I could share my discount with "friends and family". He says it saved him around $4000! He was one happy neighbor! I just stumbled upon it when checking my supplier discount online. I've heard of people using the "friends and family" discount before, but I thought it was only for GM employees (which I'm not). Seems that occassionally GM allows suppliers to also share their discount like that. The program is called "GM Supplier Discount Plus" and is in effect now. The program allows an eligible gm supplier discount to be shared with up to 2 "friends and family" through October 31, 2007 with up to 6 months from getting the authorization to purchase. I'm not going to go through all the details here, but it seems this is a great opportunity for some to save a lot on a vehicle that otherwise could not be had for that price. Happy car shopping!!!

Replying to: 07burb (Sep 24, 2007 10:58 am) I purchased the '08 CTS, at approx $1k over invoice (3.6DI, AWD all options except spare tire). Frost arranged 36 month financing at 5.75% (the best I could find online was 5.99%).   I now have approx 500 miles on the car and am loving it. Excellent speech recognition for the audio and nav, great handling, looks sharp, I could go on and on.....

Replying to: pao (Sep 27, 2007 6:15 am) If you're curious how your bank auto purchase discount compares to actual GM supplier or GM employee, you can find out from the GM websites without actually being eligible for these discounts.   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...

Replying to: smitty303 (Sep 27, 2007 11:18 am) Good post. Seems accurate based on what I found. The issue now on a hot car like the 08 CTS, many dealers won't do a Supplier or GMS deal.
#197 of 313 Window Sticker by maryj Oct 01, 2007 (6:33 pm)
I just traded for a used 07 CTS Luxury Sport(so I was told) and it is loaded and honestly looks new. The interior smells new. Anyhow, is there anyway to download the equipment on this car from the net. Sticker price was $42K, and I am constantly finding new gadgets. Love the fold-down rear seat. Just got rid of my 05 Avalon. TedJ
#198 of 313 If snow, will the 2007 CTS rear drive go? by chillinphil Oct 04, 2007 (11:42 pm)
We tested a new 2007 CTS that is rear wheel drive only. Does anyone have any experiences driving one in the winter? We are very unsure if we should make this new car purchase, since we live in the midwest and know nothing of how this car will drive in snow. Wish it had all wheel drive, but of course that wasn't available for 2007. Thanks in advance! Please hurry with your experiences, so we know whether to tell the dealer yes or no!

#199 of 313 Winter? Not a Problem with Winter Tires by macsfriended Oct 12, 2007 (8:33 pm)
For chillinphil and others concerned about winter driving:   I had same concerns in St. Louis, MO re snow driving with my Lincoln Mk VII. I bought quality winter snow and ice tires, and that Mk VII acted like it was a snowmobile.   Different cars and PU trucks used Blizzaks, Michelin and Bridgestone winter specific tires and I never had reason to wonder about winter driving. We have a Winter Park, CO ski week timeshare - second week in January each year and specifically played in the snow with different vehicles. NO Problems.   Buy the car you want - Put quality WINTER tires on it - and GO MAN GO.   Ed Replies to this message: chillinphil (Oct 13, 2007 1:23 am)
