#251 of 363 Re: Experience at Moore Cadillac in Northern VA [ivfmommee] by clarkster Jan 06, 2008 (10:41 pm)
Replying to: ivfmommee (Jan 06, 2008 6:39 am) Wondering how you got to that MSRP. I thought I had purchased just about EVERY option, including premium paint and compact spare. My MSRP for an 08, DI, Thunder Gray, leather, Premium Luxury, All-Season(F2), compact spare came to only $46,940. Perhaps the MSRP is "regionally set" meaning some parts of the country have slightly different figures as a matter of economics.   I paid $42,465, or $1 below invoice - total OTD price was $43,309. Downside I guess is I have to wait a couple of months, which makes it perfect since I'm deployed here in Iraq and won't get home until mid-Feb anyway! Perfect timing!   Oh well, I'm sure we're ALL gonna enjoy our new CTSs. My mother said they had about 4 CTS commercials aired during the Giants/Bucs game last night. Enjoy all!!!

Replying to: clarkster (Jan 06, 2008 10:41 pm) Did you get all wheel drive? I am not for sure what you are missing because I can build it on the cadillac website and costco, and I still get $49k. You have to be missing something. Congrats on your new CTS though! Keep your head down over there! My husband has done 4 tours in the middle east, so I can relate.

Replying to: ivfmommee (Jan 07, 2008 4:07 am) THAT'S what it was! Whew...thanks, cuz I was racking my brain tryin g to find out why my MSRP was lower. I don't know if it was offered on the FE2 package or not but I opted not to get it as I'm allergic to snow. Lived in the south all my life. Thanks for "clue'ing" me in. And WOW...takes a strong woman to deal with those deployments...good on you! This is my 3rd and I'll be home this time next month (hopefully a week or so before my new baby gets there. Thanks again...and enjoy your beautiful new ride. Replies to this message: ivfmommee (Jan 18, 2008 8:04 pm)

Replying to: adnanz (Jan 03, 2008 8:15 pm) I'm looking to also buy at Grand Prize Cadillac. I have not hit the dealer yet. Looking thru Edmunds to see what others paid. Sounds like you got a good deal at $41,800 for what you got. What was your MSRP and how much did you get off? I'm looking at the preminum luxury pkg, crystal red paint, 18" chrome wheels and spare tire. MSRP $45,950, Invoice $41,946. What do you think they'll bargain at?

Replying to: cruzer42 (Jan 16, 2008 11:27 am) Cruzer42...my mistake, I took out the paperwork and here are the detail: in addition to standard items, Black Raven Exterior and Light Titanium Interior, I purchased the Premium Luxury Collection and the 18" Summer Tire Performance package, MSRP was $45,885...I paid $43,400, not $41,800 (my mistake) minus $1,000 GM Rewards, minus $500 Dealer Discount which puts it at $41,900 (i guess this is where I remembered the price from). This price was better than the GM Supplier discount, you can check online if you have a GM Supplier code or something. I couldn't combine the GM Rewards and the GM Supplier discount as I have a different type of GM card, who knows. I haven't been able to take it out much because it sits on summer tires and the pavement is cold, although the weather has been cooperating so far, snow melt and/or snow showers and stuff I just don't want to take a chance. Longest trip yet was to Edison, NJ (about 55 miles)...went down 287 south, the ride is smooth, quiet, really nice...I was at 80 MPH and felt that we were doing 40...no joke, amazing smooth and quiet ride. Still breaking in the engine and breaks, i added about 1/4 to 1/2 qt of Mobil 1 as the oil was low, I've read on other blogs the oil level drops as the car is breaking in, I'm not an expert on cars, I assume the theory works, all I know is the manual says to keep it under 70 till about 700 miles and about 200 miles for the breaks to break in. I haven't had 'fun' with it yet...just waiting for the weather to get better and really test it out. Car drives like a dream, looks like a dream, jury is still out on performing like a dream and most importantly how reliable the electro-gadgets are...so far the one and only thing I had to deal was the rear sensor thingy, it wasn't working, I would put the car in reverse and rather than working all the lights were on, meaning something isn't working, the car is clean so nothing was on the sensors, the car hasn't been hit...so I did what I do to most electronics when they act up...turn them off, count to 10 mississippi and turn it on again and VOILA it works.   Car is great, I hope and pray the car hold up as I am married to it for 5 years, Grand Prize have been really good to me. The only think I forgot to ask when picking up the car was for them to throw in a free oil change and detail...other than that, go for it. I also went to Grand Prize as they are local for me...it can help.   Hope I didn't ramble on and on and this post helped.
#257 of 363 Best Time of Year to Buy? by waydown Jan 18, 2008 (6:58 am)
Hi Folks, what are people's opinions on the best time of year to purchase or lease a new CTS? For example, are there specific holidays when dealers typically add more incentives? I'm dying to buy the 2008 CTS DI, but am willing to wait if it will save me some dollars. Thanks in advance for any advice. I haven't bought a new car in almost 20 years, so pardon my ignorance.

#259 of 363 Chicago Area purchase 1-11-08 by mvd80 Jan 21, 2008 (2:45 pm)
I recently bought a 08 CTS from Napleton Cadillac in Hammond, Indiana. First a little bit about the car. It has the luxury collection, sunroof, wood trim, white diamond, and cashmere and cocoa. Though I was somewhat choosey when it came to options, I tried to remain flexible while still staying within budget.   I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I started my search for a CTS by visiting my local dealer, doing the test drive and seeing what kind of price they could give me. After some back and forth they offered to accept a couple hundred over invoice on the basic (no options by auto trans) model I was looking at. Eventually I decided on the options that I wanted. I found the exact vehicle at Napleton Cadillac. Since, it was a weekday and a near 1.5 hour drive away I called to try and get a price from them. The first price I was quoted was $500 less than invoice. (At the time there was a $500 manufacturer to dealer incentive.) I knew then I was dealing with a straight-up guy. I made the deal and was going to pick up the car that weekend.   In the meantime they "accidentally" sold the car I wanted. But they offered me the same deal "$500 less than invoice" on another vehicle they had on the lot. As it turns out, I like the options and colors on the car I got more than I did the other car I was looking at. At the dealership there was no haggling, no pressure, and no gimmicks. I know it a bit of drive down to Hammond, Indiana but I would highly recommend those looking for a good deal to contact Napleton Cadillac and get their best price. I think you will find that it is worth the drive. I was a little worried about the hassle of taxes involved in an out of state purchase, but that also turned out to be just as simple as buying at your local dealership.   When I first started to look around for the CTS I had a lot of salesmen tell me the car was too hot or too in demand for them to come off the MSRP. I think my story disproves that line. If you keep exploring your options, especially in a larger area with several dealers in range, there are good deals to be had. Keep trying and don't accept the lines about supply and demand. Replies to this message: 150mphclub (Jan 23, 2008 12:39 pm) mvd80 (Jan 24, 2008 6:32 am)

Replying to: mvd80 (Jan 21, 2008 2:45 pm) You got an exceptional deal. A family friend is a Cadillac dealer. He cannot get enough of the CTS. He has sold everyone he has received within one week of it hitting his lot for MSRP. Replies to this message: mvd80 (Jan 24, 2008 6:32 am)
