New SRX Owners - What did you trade in?

[GarryW]

I'm curious what the owners were driving prior to their purchase or lease of the new 2010 SRX. What make, (Cadillac or others) and were they sedans, SUV's, etc.??

Thanks!

I didn't trade anything in, but my last Caddy was an '07 CTS.

Lease is up on a '07 Buick Rainier AWD that is prompting the purchase of the SRX. I love the Rainier and had a '05 Rainier and an '02 Olds Bravada before it. I had no problems with any of these SUVs and ended up giving back great vehicles at the end of my leases. If GM still had a 5 seat, truck on frame SUV it would have been the new vehicle in the garage. Times do change and I am looking forward to the arrival of my SRX in the next week or two.

This should be a shocker to most on here...09 CTS-V.
21 new cars in 36 years of driving & known is better then CTS-V.
Thing is where & when is 556 HP needed? almost never can drive it as should be driven!
Plus MPG was horrible but I knew that going in so no surprises there.
My SRX is the next best thing as the dash is very close to CTS-V front & rear lights, etc.
Meaning: I somewhat feel I'm driving the CTS-V just with a lot less unneeded power.
Plus I get nice benefit besides regular gas, MPG, I get $200 per year discount car insurance.
Oh well, have I convinced you or myself? one day I will buy the V again if it's meant to be?

I traded in a 2001 BMW X5 3.0, I really liked it but I had it for nine years and I thought that it was time for it to go before it really started costing me in repairs. My dilemma was that I wanted to stay at about the same luxury level, however, I didn't want / and couldn't pay through the nose to get it - enter the 2010 SRX, it has the right level of luxury at the right price. For us it was a good decision...

This is going to get you guys. I am trading in my 91 Chevy Caprice sedan. 336 xxx kms on her, trade value of $3300! Thanks in part to the Canadian government!

We traded in a '06 CTS w/20,000 miles. We loved the CTS and bought the SRX on a lark. We loved the CTS but after a month, love the SRX even more!

Traded a 2006 Lexus IS350. No regrets..
