Replying to: sls002 (Jul 13, 2008 3:14 pm) GM's idea of luxury in the 80's was overstuffed velour Yeah, and the funny thing is, the people to whom I give rides love those overstuffed velour seats in my 1988 Park Avenue and wish automakers still put them in cars.

Replying to: circlew (Jul 13, 2008 9:10 am) Oh yeah, the same quality as my brother-in-law's Mercedes-Benz S430 that is PLAGUED with electrical, mechanical, and quality control gremlins.

Replying to: lemko (Jul 14, 2008 4:41 am) Ask him if he wants to replace the Merc with a Denali with all new parts! Residual is quite low and he can get it for a steal. Just like all the Caddy's. 2006 CTS 36K miles, Retail Value = $15,740. NICE!

Replying to: circlew (Jul 14, 2008 4:59 am) Yeah, left out a few details like it's been in several major accidents, was a theft recovery, and used in few drug transactions. The previous owner also smoked cigars and took his St. Bernard dog everywhere with him in the CTS. I doubt any two year-old CTS that met my used car standards would be sold so cheaply.

Replying to: circlew (Jul 14, 2008 4:59 am) Cars.com suggests the mid-range price for the 2006 CTS is about $22,000 retail. The C-class is about $25,000. I suspect that the C-class was higher to begin with.

Replying to: sls002 (Jul 14, 2008 5:19 am) Probably all dealer sales with low mileage from people that don't drive much and trade in every few years. Private party sales will be way lower on 2006. link title Regards, OW Replies to this message: sls002 (Jul 14, 2008 6:44 pm) 62vetteefp (Jul 15, 2008 2:27 am) sls002 (Jul 15, 2008 5:25 am) and 22 more... circlew (Jul 15, 2008 2:11 pm) circlew (Jul 15, 2008 2:09 pm)

Replying to: sls002 (Jul 14, 2008 5:19 am) I know in 06 you could still get lowline C230s for about 30K...these would easily be comparable with a base CTS. I've seen many 05 CTS-V for around 25K-ish. Maybe the old CTS wasn't the value it was touted to be...maybe the poorly chosen interior materials hurt something, too.

Replying to: lemko (Jul 14, 2008 4:41 am) He has an 8 year old car, a W220 from the first model year. MB fanatics even bash those things...it's like the 80s Caddy with the piece of crap 4100 or whatever engine was junk.

Replying to: circlew (Jul 14, 2008 7:56 am) Really? I buy Cadillacs and so do a lot of other respectable people in my line of business. None of us are involved in criminal activities and we are treated with the utmost respect. Replies to this message: circlew (Jul 14, 2008 9:06 am)
