WOW! That is Service x 3! Congrats on your new ride. I agree, big car but handles small and nimble.Got back home this afternoon around 3pm Boise time. My expectations concerning the XTS and the dealership exceeded my expectations ( and that's not often the case when I am car dealing). The car was a 9 out of 10. It drives like a dream, I love the 20 inch wheels which only come with the platinum trim level. It rides like a big, heavy car, but feel like a much smaller car, quick, nimble and quiet. Probably the quietest car I have ever driven/rode in. The only exterior concern was some of the wheels had very small curb scrape and a couple of the wheels had minor peeling paint. These wheels are painted alloys! They are paying for the repainting of all four wheels here in Boise. They could not find the 2nd key fob that came with the car and if they can't find it (the dealership is going through a huge remodeling and they thought it just got misplaced in the mess that the place is in) . They will order a new one and send it to me. They also put a new battery in the car as well as had the rear brakes serviced; turned the rotors and new pads. They washed/detailed it again and filled it up with gas for our 7 hour road trip back to Boise. They reimbursed us for our airfare, more than I had originally quoted them because I had booked the Saturday a week later than yesterday, duh. How did I do that? So the total reimbursement for my wife and I was over $400.
I did purchase the extended warranty but it is refundable/prorated at any time. I will have any/all service done at the Boise Cadillac here. I might just drive it for a few months and see if anything major happend and then cancel it. I'm not sure yet. The dealership even said a lot of people do that. I just wanted to be covered on the way back to Boise in case something happened. Once I get to know the car I might cancel it.
My family can't believe it is a2013. They said it looks brand new, but they don't know Cadillac's very well. It has plenty of power, I was surprised since it is the not twin-turbo that came out in 2014. I love the package alert systems. The adaptive cruise control rocks. Saves so much effort in passing others on a long stretch of interstate and the truck.
The VUE is awesome, it just takes some time getting to learn how it all works and a little patience, that's all. The Bose 14 speaker sound system is an absolute concert hall in your car.
I really don't have any complaints (yet). The titanium white pearlized paint is a real knock out. Love it.
One last thing, we financed about 2/3rds of the car. We were told 3.49%/60mos. interest, but the dealership got us 1.99%. WOW. I'd better stop, you all will think I'm bragging. The beautiful snowfall over snaqualimie pass in easter Washington, just an hour east of Seattle was breath taking. I'm glad we didn't drive it the night before.
Let me know your thoughts or questions. HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone.
Sorry to hear and see this, but looks like an easy repair. I live rural and the stretch of highway leading to my place has one of, if not the highest vehicle-animal collision rates, mostly deer, but some black bear as well. Most occur at night or dawn or dusk.So this happened Tuesday morning on my commute to work at about 5:30 a.m.
I commute 45 miles with about 30 of it through farm/cattle country. It's pitch black and lots of wildlife.
The largest racoon I've seen tried to race to the other side of the road.
This is after I shoved it back up to hang on.
Waiting on the adjuster to call . . .
