World is not just black & white. I have owned CTS for 7 months now and has its pros & cons. Let's go with PROS first: Good looks. It still turns heads. Buttery ride with plenty of power. Comparably affordable (5 series, E-class, etc.) Cons? Good grief! Big outside, small inside. Front passenger has to struggle with that odd glove box (hangs low). Having numerous fit & finish problems (driver's seat moves, rattles in left front side, wind noises from right front, sunroof screen rattles, etc.), engine is entirely too loud for this class, odd interior (not luxurious, not sporty)and difficult for not-so-experienced drivers to park (due to edgy long hood). I still love this car. It's sharp edges seperates itself from the rest. However, I would not buy it again. Compare to..say, TL, it is much less refind (engine, dash, fit & finish, etc.) If you are tired of ubiquitous imports (3 series, ES330, A4, G35, etc.), buy it. Outer beauty siezed your eyes, buy it. Otherwise, look around more.

| I am interested in buying a new 2004 CTS-V that is on my dealers lot. The car is not a demo and it has basically no miles. It has the sunroof option. It is Februray 15, 2005 and what should I pay for that car? Is invoice less rebates a good deal? Or should I go for the Holdback too? Their bottom line price was 44655 plus ttl. Is that good enough? I have seen used prices on '04 and '05 on ebay for around 40k. | |
| I am interested in both cars but not sure of quaility of CTS compared to the new Avalon. Ride, quiet, comfort, mileage, durability etc. Can any of you CTS owners help and have you all been paying under MSRP except for tax and Lic. for the CTS? | |
I just received a price quote for a CTS and I would like to know what people think? Good or not?? Options: red line color, 1SB package, 1 sport pkg, 1 luxury pkg, 3.6L v6, auto trans, AQ9 seat front bkt?, sunroof. To many packages! The quote was with my $1500.GM financing off the total without tax/lic. $36,040...There was a destination charge included for $695. Should I tell them to knock off some of that fee? I could sure use your help if this board is not dead.

Your price seems high. Go to the pricing part of Edmunds, put in the options, and see what the invoice price is. You should get the car for a bit over invoice. The dealer will make $700 from holdback, so he's not losing a lot. There are so many cars out there you should be able to get a good deal. Search inventories in your state for, say a 100 mile radius. Find the car you want and talk directly to the internet sales person bazohimba |
