Order your CTS-V below MSRP

[StealthV]

John Heinrichy said if GM gave the coupe the green light they'd pretty much have to kill him to keep him from turning it into a V.

The coupe is a go; fill in the blank.

I now have a second dealer (the one who sold me my first gen V) who has offerred me MSRP for the new one. I've decided I am going to wait for my employee discount; I really don't think GM can expect significant sales increases given the large price increase, $4 gas, and a recession. Auto sales are way off target this year already. Suck for my stock, but market is market.

Great assessment. The dreamers far outnumber the real buyers and if gas is indeed $4 and the DOW down to 12,000 or so this fall it will be a tough sell w/ a 3000 guzzler tax.

Late Feb. to early March is my guess.

Hi Tony,

How does the whole deposit thing work? Since we still don't know the details we have to make the deposit right now based on a speculated base price. Is the deposit refundable if say for example the base price is more than we anticipated or the options don't work out exactly how we thought? Also, does the $599 discount apply to leases as well?

Thanks

If it will be that long, I may have to move on. I was due for a new car last summer, and decided ot wait until I heard the specs on the V. Once I heard them, I put in a deposit and secured the number one spot on the list at my dealer.

However, I am not sure I can wait another year. I need another car this calendar year.

I may have to go back to looking.

The new CTS-V should be on Dealer's lots before the end of the year.

gophaster: Yes, the deposit is refundable if the MSRP is crazy or you don't like the options. Once we order the car for you, the deposit is permanent. The $599 discount also applies on leases. I anticipate at least a few months of ridiculous Dealer markups (if Ford dealers can get it on the KR Mustang, I don't think Cadillac dealers will have a problem), so this is a great opportunity to be one of the first to have one AND not pay an inflated price for it.

Thanks for the reply Tony. This car will be pushing my budget to the limit (but I really want one) so, I was wondering if you had a ballpark idea of what we can expect the residual to be (10k per year) and where the interest rate will be for "well qualified buyers" Again just looking for some ballpark figures so I can crunch some numbers.

Thanks again!

[Cadillac Tony]

Any ballpark numbers I give you would be doing you disservice, since it would nothing more than a wild guess. I doubt even GM knows how they're structuring the residuals at this point.

[gophaster]

Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks again.

If I was to place a deposit today when could I expect to actually pick up the car?

[Cadillac Tony]

Cars will be on Dealer lots before the end of the year, probably in November.

Just in time for Christmas.

Just a reminder for our valued Forum Members that we are still accepting Pre-orders on the 2009 CTS-V.

One Member has already reserved his with me, so the next person will get the #2 car we receive- no getting bumped off the list for "preferred" clients or local folks (which some Dealers will do)- your deposit guarantees your spot in line, with the car ordered to your specifications. Pricing for forum members is still $599.99 below MSRP, plus our admin fee and your local taxes and fees. No firm production or arrival dates have been confirmed, but the cars are still on schedule to be available Q4 2008. I have an email in with the LGR plant to try and get a firmer date.

If you'd like to purchase your CTS-V from a fellow V owner and enthusiast, 10 year Cadillac veteran who will not mysteriously change the price AND will be able to give you a full demonstration of the features on your new car, give me a call or email.

Thanks for looking.
