#1837 of 2757 Re: Hate to burst the bubble but... [jgaffney1] by lenbroverman Dec 10, 2007 (5:39 pm)
Replying to: jgaffney1 (Dec 07, 2007 8:02 am) I also have a 2008 with awd and definitately I often hit the brake pedal when putting my foot on the gas, They are too close. Wonder if Cadillac knows of the problem. Could be dangerous if you apply brake and your foot hits the gas also. Replies to this message: jgaffney1 (Dec 11, 2007 5:08 am)

#1839 of 2757 Got car less than 4 weeks after order by mike241 Dec 11, 2007 (12:55 pm)
Ordered fully loaded ($49,450 sticker) CTS from dealer in Ohio on November 13. Car arrived at dealership on December 9. Picked it up on Monday, December 12. Every option except engine heater. Car came in as ordered, including wood wheel and shifter. Received employee discount and saved a little under $6000 on the deal. I was hesitant about ordering the sunroof because of all the negativity on the board but glad that I got it. It's really not that bad. Looks great with the white diamond paint.

#1841 of 2757 Extra wheels? by beerme1 Dec 11, 2007 (7:40 pm)
Anyone have any idea how much an extra set of rims would cost?
#1842 of 2757 Wheels by dmathews3 Dec 12, 2007 (3:20 am)
Aftermarket wouldn't be to bad but to buy a duplicate set of what is on the car would cost a foutune. My guess if you wait a while there will be people here who want to change out their wheels and you may be able to get a set cheap or cheaper.

Replying to: jgaffney1 (Dec 11, 2007 1:01 pm) Yes, got the DI. Also AWD. Regarding the gas pedal being too close to the brake pedal, this does not seem to be a problem for me, and I wear a 10 1/2 shoe. One gripe with me is no convenient place to put your sunglasses.
#1844 of 2757 Re: Strongly considering new CTS-questions [neuronbob] by sevenfeet0 Dec 12, 2007 (1:10 pm)
Replying to: neuronbob (Dec 08, 2007 8:55 pm) Hey Neuronbob! Good to see you here..normally we're talking about Mark's loudspeakers somewhere else...   I guess you ditched the RL for the CTS. Let me know how this car is working for you over the next several weeks. I'm hoping to order one in the spring if finances come together.   Those of us that are following this car have been told that Bluetooth may be a dealer installed option at some point in the not too distant future. Talk to your dealer about this one.   I think that the car is selling pretty well right now if the comments from my dealer are any indication. For them, all cars are selling but the DI cars don't stay on the lot more than a day or two. Few people order AWD in Tennessee so I don't think they've been trying to order those versions. For me, my company has the GM supplier discount so that discount is a known fixed value. I'm told the Costco discount might work too. Otherwise, it may be difficult getting really good pricing until the initial demand surge wanes. But if Caddy plays their cards right, there should be decent demand as they slowly roll out coupe, wagon, V8 and V-series versions over the next 24-30 months.
#1845 of 2757 Re: Ticking noise from Dash [rspruitt] by enzo03 Dec 13, 2007 (4:50 am)
Replying to: rspruitt (Dec 03, 2007 8:50 am) rspruitt - I have owned my 08 CTS since September, and I have the V6 DI. Not sure if it is the same ticking noise, but if you haven't already try using premium gas. I have found that by using premium gas every once and while the ticking noise goes away. The car doesn't need Premium (especially with gas prices) but if you alternate Premium and regular the ticking seems to go away. You could also try using a mid grade as well. I get gas from Costco and they only have regular and premium. Hope that helps the ticking.   mj
#1846 of 2757 Ticking noise by jgaffney1 Dec 13, 2007 (6:17 am)
Never heard that. I have a 08 DI AWD. I have heard in my gararge when I shut the car off and before the headlights go out...a high pitched whine which I thought had something to do with the lights. But no ticking noise.   I'll pay that closer attention and see.... Does it happen when the motors on and your driving, or ideling, radio off? And is it definitly coming from the dash? Drivers side dash?? Replies to this message: readerreader (Dec 25, 2007 4:55 am)
