Use AutoAnything for the Lloyds mats. Link through befrugal.com for 4% rebate. Use code 20welcome for 20% off. Net price for 4 with logo will be under $100 delivered. Don't believe that 2 piece rotors are stock. Mine didn't come with them. Next purchase should be an AirAid CAI.
Yu cannot beat Weather-Tech mats. I have a 12 coupe so I only bought the front set. There is no
way any gravel or liquid will run off these mats onto your carpet.

Best prices I've seen have been through Amazon, although a local Chevy dealer may be able to beat their pricing. They're really just for cosmetics and even at that they're very hard to detect. They weigh more so no savings on unsprung weight. I road race my V coupe and have no intention of chasing down 2 piece front rotors when the R1's cost less for a complete set of front and rears. If you really want to stand the car on its head when braking just get upgraded pads and save the dough.
You should be good at CarMax. They pay a little better than trade in. I'd hurry though, once the '16 V is released in the spring our V2 will start to drop quickly.

I think you are right. Typically once the next gen of a vehicle line is introduced, the previous gen see's a big drop in value.
At least initially I would expect the V2's resale value to drop. However, if the V3's price is too high ($90kish) for many who have been waiting on the sidelines it's possible that an "old" V2 would be an attractive alternate.
With no Vagon or coupe option, relative ease and low cost to increase HP/performance, and still current great looks, I think it's entirely possible that shortly after the V3's go on sale the V2's values will climb again.
Vfan that's why I'm not even thinking about trading my V coupe in. I'm really enjoying my V in stock form and getting back into road racing again. Lots of proven combos as you said to close that gap from 556 to 640hp. I'll hold onto my warranty for another year and then think about doing upper pulley, injectors, headers, HX, etc.
Yeah i think they go around 41 for the bookout on nada, I paid 38k I feel like I got a good deal tho what's the maintenance/upkeep on these cars? Anything you guys suggest I do for being a new owner thanks guys
From what I read the vsport has 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear, 5 x 120 bolt, not sure about offset or anything. I was thinking of using a front wheel as a spare and the back wheels for some drag radials. Does anyone know if that would or wouldn't work?
Thank you

I tried to test my 2011 caddy from 40 so I press on gas after that I heard some noise from the engine (like squeezing) only when boost comes up, now as you can see on video car can't go more than 95Km/h and the boost is useless it wont give any power to the car and check engine singe is...
I just got a v and all it is missing is bluetooth and a backup camera. I would like to add them someday and be able to steam music via bluetooth and update my pop up navigation.
Is there a swap I can do with a newer unit?
I would love to keep the factory look and all other funtions.
Thank you...
I was driving to work yesterday morning and the messages "Service Stabilitrack System" and "Service Traction Control system" came accross the information screen below the speedometer. The tranction contol light to the right of the speedo and the parking brake light came on as well.
Called...
Service traction control light came on today. Any ideas what it could be? Just recently replaced mass airflow sensor to resolve check engine light, also had front brakes replaced as well.
