Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 15, 2008 2:27 am) Well, I think his earlier posts suggested Cadillac's depreciate faster than Mercedes. I think that is probably true, but Mercedes does depreciate too. My premise is that one can look at all of the listed cars of interest on cars.com to see a range of prices for a particular model/year. One could look at the C-class listings for model year 2008 (about 160) and the CTS (over 500), then look at the median price tag (the cars in the middle of each list) and compare that with the 2005 models (about 1500 each).

Replying to: sls002 (Jul 15, 2008 5:25 am) Why guess by looking at a random collection of vehicles when you can get data from the source that does it scientifically? https://www.alg.com/deprratings.aspx?sid=43 CTS has same rating as most Mercedes.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 15, 2008 6:03 am) How about over different periods? I think most people keep their car for more than 2 years...I see stars, no numbers.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jul 15, 2008 2:27 am) Yes, I made a mistake. I do not need to convince anyone regarding GM. I don't hate anyone or thing. Just think way better choices out there. Regards, OW

Replying to: circlew (Jul 15, 2008 4:01 pm) Proves nothing.

Replying to: sls002 (Jul 15, 2008 4:24 pm) Proves there are many CTS valued exactly as they are offered for sale. If the owners paid even $30K when new, how's that for a value proposition? Let's check back in about a month. A line in the sand, if you will.

Replying to: circlew (Jul 15, 2008 4:48 pm) Why don't you use the data that ALG provides instead of picking specific single data points?

Replying to: circlew (Jul 15, 2008 4:48 pm) But does anyone really want to buy a used first gen CTS??? I mean, look at it! Look at the interior!!! Really, the first time I saw the 1G CTS at the New England Auto Show years ago I was truly shocked at how (yes, IMO) ugly the car was inside (especially inside!) and out. And the sticker was $40k+!!! Seriously???!!! Now, Gen 2, I think we have an ugly duckling to almost swan transformation here. Clean up the front end, and we'll talk. The interior? Just a huge improvement...
