I will agree that GM should have figured out the seals sooner, but my understanding is that they used the rate of failure as the trigger to look at them. |

I mean as far as I heard sales hasnt been good, with CTS and Escalade the only exception (though Escalades sales have suffered since the rising gas prices). I've seen a few NEW '06-07 models on the dealers lot with no sticker whatsoever, only a "clearance sale" tag on them (I saw 3 STS, 3 SRX, and 1 CTS). So is it save to assume that STS and SRX in particular are weak sellers, thus I can expect huge bargains on them? I'm personally not a domestic brand fan, but cadillac is the best looking domestic car imo and I'm willing to reconsider if the price is that great.

The CTS of course is the one getting all the press so sales are steady. The STS is more of a hidden gem since it doesnt get the press it has better lease and finance rates ( except during this sale period). The Escalade you would think is not a big seller but according to a recent article I read sales may exceed last year. Lets face it large families need a big SUV and the Escalade is still the best in class. As far as gas prices efficency and hybrids, unless you want to lower your carbon footprint don't go hybrid. At best it will take you 6 years  15K miles per year before you actually save any money due to the price difference of the vehicles. Bottom line Cadillac is the best valued vehicle because it does not take premium gas like its competiors and with a few exceptions is the most fuel efficient. |

Replying to: sls002 (Jun 29, 2008 1:43 pm) With speculators rampant you would be very hard pressed to correctly predict economic factors over that period. Gas could go up to seven or eight dollars a gallon, or a breakthrough in batteries could drive the price down to two dollars a gallon, but I would not bet on the latter. Good luck with whatever you buy. |

Replying to: nathess (Mar 22, 2008 6:41 am) I too was shocked to buy a 2008 CTS 4 and when I got home found I could not open the garage door due to the GM mentality… This is a $45K car with lots of other option including all wheel drive but no garage door opener! After learning that the $10 worth of electronic is now a $400-500 install option I found the following solution. On ebay I purchased a “Carper 310 mini remote” $17.75. The unit is very small (less then 3/8” thick) and will fit very snugly into the compartment in front of the gear shifter. Place the unit on edge up against the driver side of the compartment, buttons facing the passenger side and press it firmly down into place, it will not move around and takes very little space up. Way to go GM, its no wonder why you’re losing buyers by the groves, you get a garage door opener in the most basic foreign models.
