Order your CTS-V below MSRP

Cadillac Tony · #1 (**permalink**) 01-29-08, 12:41 PM

Hello everybody. After returning from NAIAS in Detroit and seeing the new V in person I am really looking forward to getting these in. If you haven't already, check the "lawfive live from NAIAS" thread to read my impressions of the car after sitting in it (as well as photos of the shifter paddles).

Cadillac dealers will not be getting our consensus and allocation until June/July, but I am already accepting pre-orders on 2009 CTS-Vs. Pricing for forum members will be $599.99 below MSRP, plus our admin fee and your local taxes and fees. Cars can be shipped to you for whatever the actual cost is, but the best way to save some money is to fly in to Florida and drive it home.

If you'd like to purchase your CTS-V from a 10 year veteran who will not hassle you about the price AND be able to demonstrate the operation and features of your new car, give me a call or email. We can order whatever color and options you'd like, and your deposit will guarantee you one of the first ones built.

Thank you for looking.

$1,000 on a credit card or check will guarantee an order out of our first shipment. We also do not install front plate brackets prior to delivery unless the customer requests it, so no worries about ugly holes in your new V's bumper.

We're still waiting on final confirmation from GM on how the option structure will be laid out, but I gathered the following from my discussion at NAIAS with the factory reps:

-Sunroof will either be optional or standard with a "delete" option for those that don't want it
-There will be a "Performance Package" option that will probably consist of the Recaros, tuned shocks and the Alcantara steering wheel
-Painted wheels will probably be standard, with polished as an option

Tony, I gotta give my original V salesman first shot, but if he doesn't come through I'll be planning a trip to Orlando.

No problem, Hush- you're a class act for being loyal to your Salesman who treated you right.

Is there any reason to believe that any dealer will recieve more than 1 or 2 max in the first shipment? How many weeks/months will it be before the second shipment? I am speaking from a bad experience lol...

Hi Tony. I would have taken you up on your original offer but since then I operated on the owner of a Cadillac dealership in FL. He was so pleased with the result he offered me his first CTS-V allocation at his cost. It's nice having connections.

Wow- that sure is a fantastic connection to have! I guess I'd probably give a deal like that to someone who got me through surgery in one piece, too.

It was still great talking to you, and I look forward to your review of the new V.

You can count on them to be in short supply- I can't imagine a dealer getting more than 2 in the first shipment. The way Cadillac decides allocation is by taking your V-Series sales and regular CTS sales, then using them as part of an unknown equation to determine how many CTS-Vs you might sell.

We've had very strong sales of both, so we expect a good allocation of CTS-Vs. That being said, it's a limited production model, so if you're looking for one the first year you might want to consider placing an order.

Whats your admin. fee? I bought my last two in NY but I'm a Keys boy now.

We're the lowest in Central Florida- $599 (our nearby competitors are 700 and 800). That's the reasoning behind the discount, so you pay MSRP and not above (even with the fee).

If I do this, I would be a first-time Caddy buyer, so no loyalty to local dealers yet. Couple questions for you...

a) If I choose to have the vehicle transported to my location, which shipper do you prefer? (Though honestly, if I did this I would probably drive down and p/u)
b) Deposit refundable?

Very seriously considering this offer.

I seem to recall that Performance Traction Management was also part of this option group, Tony. That would make this package "optional but mandatory" for me.

I said 'package.'

Very seriously considering this offer.

Exotic Car Transport has been my preference when shipping XLR-Vs and other expensive cars. Fully enclosed trailers with long ramps (to keep the font from scraping), and every time I use them my car gets loaded next to Ferraris and Lamborghinis- they know how to handle exotics.

The deposit would be refundable all the way until we place the order. Most people who buy a V-Series car want an exact car (color and options), so I can't be put in a situation where someone orders a White Diamond stick shift with no sunroof and painted wheels, only to have them back up. Once we place the order, it's yours.

Didn't you notice at NAIAS that I was working my voodoo salesman mojo on you?
