manual transmission by billyc1
Dec 06, 2008 (7:23 am)

I called a local dealer here in Houston, and they said no one in town has a manual transmission CTS and I could only get one by special order. Apparently no one wants them. I don't really want to buy one unless I can test it first. Is the same manual used in any other cars that I could test?
 
Makes me worry about resale value. I want to buy American but this may scare me off. Might need to look at Infiniti or BMW.
 
Any ideas? Don't tell me you love your automatic - this is a deal killer for me. I couldn't believe when the idiot dealer told me that I would get tired of driving a manual in city traffic - I've been doing it for 20 years! And yes, I have driven the new manumatics.

Pending Offer - Any Good? by gator5000e

I have received this offer for a 2009 CTS with Premium Collection and spare tire - bottom line is $39,447. This is a quote on a specific car - I have the VIN #. I do not know how long the car is going to be there for, so any thoughts would be appreciated. Below is what the internet manager told me when giving me the bottom line price. The source for my reference invoice price was Costco Auto.
 
I'm not sure what you're looking at as far as the invoice is concerned, however the invoice on this vehicle is $47,282 and we are selling it for $45,447, so we are actually below invoice.
 
There are only been $6000 in rebates. I previously showed you $7000 because I had coupons from GM that I could use, however those have all been used on customers who have already purchased a vehicle.
 
The difference between MSRP and supplier pricing is not the same on all cars.
 
Like I mentioned previously, the amount due at signing hasn't changed. It's still right around $1900 (I think the exact amount before was $1887). The amount due at signing line includes the available rebates.
 
When you calculate the lease payment on your own, it is never going to exactly equal what we calculate because of the license fees, dealer fee, acquisition fee, etc. There is always going to be a slight difference, no matter how you are doing your calculations.
 
The bottom line on the car without the wheels is $39,447 and this is the best I can do.

 
Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi, Gator,
I think $39,447 is a ver good deal. I bought my CTS w/ premium package and DI 2 months ago for $43,200 ( MSRP was 49,200 ).

Gator,
 
Can you tell me what the specific rebates for this CTS are . I know there are 2000 of rebates on the car, so not sure about the total of 6000. Please let me know as I am shopping for the exact same car.
 
Thank you so much,
 
Alex

Alex, there is a $4,000 rebate if you are coming out of a lease from anyone. It was originally a out of lease to finance purchace, but-I was told it has been extended to a lease to lease situation.
 
Hope this helps. I might be pulling the trigger today if I can chose between leasing and financing. Please let me know what you end up doing. Thanks.

CTS-V motor oil question by aaseegs
Dec 09, 2008 (8:40 am)

So I was listening to a lecture the other day and loved it but the guy told a story about his V-series car that needed more oil. He said that he was about to buy Synthetic because it looked the best but someone told him to look in his owners manual and in there it said that using Synthetic might cause the engine to explode.
 
I dont know what year car this was or which V-Series car it was but is it possible the story could be true? Would Synthetic oil cause any V-Series engine to explode?
 
My email address is rasberenacademy.org if you want to contact me directly.

. . .location of oil filter on 2009 cadillac cts di engine?
 
Is it such that the owners manual doesn't include this information? It may well not, given that the assumption may be that no Cadillac driver would be caught dead changing their own oil.
 
Sad.

CTS Nav system by srushing
Dec 17, 2008 (8:47 pm)
Reply
hey guys, 2 questions: 1) in a CTS that does not have a factory installed Nav system, does the LCD display still rise out of the dash board so you have the touch screen for the radio, etc?
 
2) Is it possible to have a factory nav system installed after the fact? I've been looking for a used CTS with nav system but most that I've seen don't have it.
 
Thanks
