Replying to: irnmdn (Jun 28, 2008 12:47 pm) It isn't even worth $47K. Depreciation on that in 3 years will cost you another $20K.   Regards, OW
#4922 of 6098 Well... by m4d_cow Jun 28, 2008 (9:57 pm)
Someone suggest that I should be able to get the car at a used car price, about 55% off the new price. Is it possible? I mean that'll make a 50k STS a real steal at around 27-30k... Replies to this message: sls002 (Jun 29, 2008 9:55 am) circlew (Jun 29, 2008 10:06 am)

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jun 28, 2008 9:57 pm) eBay Motors and Cars.com are both good places to see used/program cars that are available. I see little evidence that STS's are going cheaply. On new SRX's and STS's, there is a $3000 (SRX) or $3500 (STS) incentive or 0% interest.   The program cars have been quite good pricewise in the past, so current prices seem to be inline with that.

This is the HIGHER value on the site vs. dealer trade in or book value.   Yes, 50% is the norm for US car depreciation costs. With the V-8, you should be able to negotiate $20K no sweat! I see many at dealer sites for 2006 v-6 for $22K.   Regards, OW
#4925 of 6098 KBB value by m4d_cow Jun 30, 2008 (1:32 am)
Many said its rather inaccurate, higher than the real world value. Heck if KBB rate the used STS at 20k, the real price can be even lower..... A leftover new 06-07 v6 can be had for under 30k I heard, complete with new car warranty. Will that be a better deal than getting a used one? I'd definitely get a certified one (if used) for a mere 1k extra.   Wait a sec, cicrlew, 22k for an '06 v6? Now I'm really interested. That is something even college grads can afford. I do however question the chances for resale, not the value (I expect them to plummet, maybe lose another 5k in 2 years?) but whether its easy, or even possible to sell.....   I've only taken a good look once. Thought the interior is pretty nice though the fabric parts look downright cheap. Design is ok. Fuel mileage is a question though, anybody know the realtime mileage??

Replying to: fintail (Jun 28, 2008 4:05 pm) I don't think it is a V, it has everthing option like Bose5.1, magna ride etc.

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jun 30, 2008 1:32 am) Looking at the first 100 STS's listed on cars.com suggests that the price of the V-series is in the range of $40 to $50,000 for 2006 models. The STS is lower, but around $40,000. Jumping out to the middle of the 700 plus listed gets the price under $30,000, but these may be vehicles that are less than mint condition. Also some are clearly dealer come-on's to get a buyer into the showroom - requiring you to bring a printout of the ad to get the internet price.

I went over to see it and it was sold, of course. It also looked like it had been dumped in the Delaware River and then recovered a month later. Of course the friendly salesman was happy to show me the other pre-owned Cadillacs which were 2.5-3 times the price as the screamer ad special.

Replying to: sls002 (Jun 30, 2008 5:41 am) I am sure you could get a reasonable condition 2006 with 30 - 40 K miles for $20 - 22K. At the end of the day, you will need an extended warranty anyway so why pay in the $30K range.   If not today than in August when oil breaks $150/bbl. theses prices will drop like stones.   Regards, OW Replies to this message: sls002 (Jun 30, 2008 7:10 pm) cooterbfd (Jul 02, 2008 1:45 pm) circlew (Jul 03, 2008 2:31 am)

Replying to: circlew (Jun 30, 2008 7:22 am) The current oil price expectation are that the 4th of July weekend will push prices beyond $150.   Some dealers include the 6 year 100,000 certified used warranty on program cars. There are quite a few 2006's available as many are now coming off lease. When I was looking for a 2006 at the end of the 2006 model year (an SRX) there were not a lot available, and my local dealer who said they could get one at a low price, did not come through with anything for several months. I finally realized that the 2007 was probably a better choice and bought a new one with everything I wanted. Never been smoked in
