On 2/29/08 I put a deposit on a CTS with the PDR & PDW packages. Two months later, I don't even have a prospective build date. Funny path to profitability.

When I first started shopping for my CTS, I went the Costco route. Turns out their price was MSRP minus $750. Not much of a deal in my opinion. That was in late January or early February. It may be different now.
 
I ended up ordering my CTS and was quoted a price of $300 over invoice. My car had an MSRP of $37,640 at the time I ordered it. It has gone up $500 now. I just picked it up Saturday and paid $35,321. This was almost $1,000 below both Supplier Price and Edmunds TMV. I think I got a very good deal. Please, don't anyone burst my bubble!

I beleive one of the packages you ordered has been on the constraint list during each allocation...probably need to ask your dealer if the order has been picked up yet or not....and ask what are the constraints on your order .........
 
if the car has not been picked up yet from dealer allocation...it may not be built in 08MY..my understanding was the last day to order was last Fri....thus the dealer will have to resubmit your order for an 09 ...since they dont care over from one MY to the next

I started asking the dealer at week 5. Every week I ask, and every week I am told it has not been scheduled for production yet. Last week I sent an inquiry to Cadillac. I got an "automated response", but no answer.
 
Cadillac's business plan seems to be, "spend a lot of money on ads, but pay no attention to actual customers." Strange way to run a business.

if you havent gotten a confirm yet....I doubt it will be built...again...its not GM..but rather the allocations your dealer gets..and they knew 5 weeks ago whether they had any allocation remaining.........and remember..each dealer is an independent franchise........

FYI My CTS Engine by rcantwell

The car has been doing greatsince the hassle of the engine swap at 1800 miles. That whole ordeal could have been so much better if Cadillac actually had any customer service. Their idea of customer service is we are right you are wrong and you can't do anything about it. If it weren't for my dealership's service manager I would have been royally screwed on the whole deal. I had never bought a car at this local dealership because of their bad reputation in the sales department. I made the best deal I could elsewhere and took it to them and said beat it or I am buying it there. They beat it by $500 and I am SO glad they did. If I had bought it elsewhere I can only imagine the horrors I would have gone through.

How many miles on the new motor?
 
Have you been back to the dealer for scheduled maintenance? If so, did you ask for "your" mechanic?

CTS, Pros & Cons by chrism124

MY08 CTS Owners,
 
What do you like about the CTS and don't like about it? I have test driven a non-DI version with AWD and the standard (FE1) suspension. If I order one, it will be a MY09 with the DI engine, AWD and FE2 suspension. I am wondering how the reliability and quality with be over time. I know that it difficult to project 2-5 years from now but perhaps the there is usually some indication based on the 1st year of ownership. Also, do you find the CTS, with the DI engine, to have enough power?
 
Regards,
NHman
