If you pay attention to the yellow lights, and don't try to run the red lights you wont need a spray to hide your license plates. You might even save yourself a major accident, which photoblocker wont do.

The yellow light is shortened on these intersections , so that cars are hit with the red light ticket.

I think you give up enough horsepower and torque with the 2.8 that it would make the car a lot less fun to drive and own. From experience I can tell you the 3.6 is perfect for the car. It has great power at low rpms. On the other hand you should get better highway mileage than the 3.6 which is definitely not too great. We average about 19 mpg. I also know the dealers cannot get rid of 2.8L cars if they have anything more than the base package. It only makes sense as a price leader. That's why you are interested, I assume, because of the price. It will be almost as good, but just dont expect to get much money for it when you want to sell it. Nobody wants them. My dealer would not even order new 2.8L cars for the lot, because the first ones in 2004 blew engines right and left. Presumably GM has fixed that problem.

Certified CTS-V by sellaturcica

Looks like you can find certified CTS-Vs in the mid 30s. I've been toying with the idea of a regular CTS or a Pontiac GTO for a while now-but I just seriously thought about the CTS-V: would you guys recommend against the V given the diff issues that have been remarked on here and in the press (I believe C&D wasn't too thrilled with how their V aged)? Mid 30s for a car like the V seems like a screaming deal if the car stays together.

I have not kept up with used prices, so it is hard to comment either way. If it is exactly what you want, spotless and low mileage, It seems pretty fair. Consider the new model is coming out soon. That car must have stickered for about $43000, was bought for about $37000, and it is now 2 years old. Assuming it has about 20000 miles, I might offer 60 percent of sticker, say $26,000 and see how you do. Fun car.

I did driving test yesterday and seem very smooth, I like it but my hubby like me to have BMW 2005 instead I really like the wood trims interior, should I take it?
I forgot to ask them to print the car history I will ask before I decide to do it, what else should I find out before buying it?
