#326 of 357 Vibration Issue with CTS? by gator5000e Dec 10, 2008 (2:07 pm)
Has anyone heard about or experienced this issue with the 2008-2009 CTS?   http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-cts-forum-2008-beyond/119196-have-- we-solved-steering-vibration-freeway-37.html   48 page thread discussing a mysterious shimmy problem. Apparently Cadillac knows about the issue and has issued a tech bulletin but has not solved the problem yet. See Post # 369 on page 37 of the thread for the bulletin.   Has anyone who has recently purchased a CTS run into this problem?

Replying to: gator5000e (Dec 07, 2008 7:13 pm) "What is this $1,000 advertising fee? Is this BS or what? sounds like it to me. I do have a copy of the invoice and it does say that. "   yes, they are legitmate money that dealer need to pay. Each region has their advertisment budget and they pass it to all the dealership and pay for it per car. I saw this fee showed up in cars from different manufacturers. Instead of focusing on whether dealer has any more room to give (they do), it is more important to see if they are willing to give any more (after all they need to make a living as well and pay for all the building and salary). The best way is to find other dealers in your area and see if they can do any better. If no one can do better then you get the best price. And you will have to decide if the price is good enough for you.. I do think that the rebate will be gone in a month or two. GM is over prodcuing their cars now because of the economic downturn. Once they get around to reduce production, they won't offer such a hefty rebate. GM is lossing money in selling every CTS given all the discount. They can last very long in doing so..
#328 of 357 Purchased in CT on 1/15/09 by dglavin96 Jan 18, 2009 (5:26 am)
Just brought home a fully loaded 2009 CTS direct injection, crystal red w/cashmere with a sticker price of $51,850. Sticker on identically equipped vehicles shipped after 9/30/08 is $53,025. I was lucky to find one that has been around since before the price increase. Dealer's final selling price was $47,500. This is the best deal I could find after shopping out of state dealers who sell at deep discounts, as well as another dealer here in CT. After the $1500 model rebate, $2000 GM Loyalty Discount and $4000 lease incentive, the final price I paid was $40,000. I still cannot believe I got this car at that price. Perfect time to buy for anyone ready to pull the trigger.

Replying to: azubairi (Jan 20, 2009 11:54 am) I believe the $2800 discount puts you at right around the invoice price. The model rebate is $1500, not $2500. (If the dealer says it is $2500, take the deal and don't argue!) I would try to buy this car for $41,000, less the $1500 rebate, for a final price of $39500. That would be about $800 below invoice. You should get that deal if you stick to your guns. The incentives may get better after 2/3, but there is no way to know for sure.
#331 of 357 2009 cts question by shoeles2 Jan 26, 2009 (2:34 pm)
My lease is up in 2 months on my previous cts and there is some minor repairs that need to be done that will cost around $1000. If I trade in the car for a new cts, will they waive those fees on my return car? Secondly, with the deep discounts I qualify for, do you think I could turn around and sell the new car, and break even or maybe even a small profit, to a 3rd party that does not qualify for the lease/loyalty rebates? Or is that stretching it? Thanks! Replies to this message: vinnyny (Jan 31, 2009 8:41 am) shoeles2 (Feb 02, 2009 9:31 am)

Replying to: shoeles2 (Jan 26, 2009 2:34 pm) No way you'll turn a profit by quick-flipping a CTS. They lose so much value when you drive off the lot that you'd have to pay somebody to take it off your hands (despite those ads that tout the CTS as a resale value award winner). Except for high-demand, low-volume cars (rare exotics), every car loses big when you take it home. Replies to this message: shoeles2 (Feb 02, 2009 9:31 am)

#334 of 357 2010 CTS COupe by bojohart Feb 04, 2009 (9:38 am)
I had heard that Cadillac was bringing out a new CTS coupe, for 2010. Based upon this, I leased my 2008 STS, with lease expiring in August 2009, the date the new car was to have debuted. Cadillac has dropped the coupe's debut, instead, bringing out a station wagon. I have NO interest in a wagon, as we now have a 2009 Murano to fill that niche. I contacted Cadillac, and they confirmed the fact that the coupe has been pushed back, and is listed as a concept car. If price is right, I'll buy the 2008 STS I am driving now, as it is a wonderful car, and in excellent condition.

#335 of 357 what kind of deals are people getting these days? by waffleman Mar 05, 2009 (7:25 am)
Replying to: bojohart (Feb 04, 2009 9:38 am) With the recession in full gear and GM possibly going bankrupt, are you finding better deals now? What is a reasonable price to pay for a DI AWD? Replies to this message: pao (Mar 05, 2009 7:31 am) shoeles2 (Mar 05, 2009 12:56 pm)
