Hey guys and gals-

After having read this forum exhaustively now for a few months, I finally broke down and purchased an '04 CTS V platinum/black with 900 miles on the odo. I purchased it from a dealer in southern WI for $38,250, as some of you like to know that guys are paying. Anyway, I really enjoy reading the forum!

Sounds like you got a great deal on a great car. Welcome to the forum!

:welcome:

Wow, you got a heck of a deal!!!!

 

[ualdriver]

Thanks. It was on Autotrader.com for about a week. I was surprised no one picked it up before I did and the dealer implied (after I signed the papers!) that there hadn't been many people asking about it. I got lucky I guess.

So what is your first mod (if any)?

:bonkers: What a deal !!! And, welcome, by the way. You did the right thing by reading this forum for a good period of time. You must have realized that even though you read a lot of gripes, people just love this car. With the wheel hop basically fixable for free at the dealer, an aftermarket shifter installed, and a StealthV !CAGS eliminator, the V becomes nearly perfect for under $250!!!!!!!! And, say, I've got over 10k on my OEM tires, and there's lots of tread left ... it all depends upon how you drive it. Me, I drive it like an old fart :farting: most of the time, and I've always wanted to use that farting icon.

I think I'll be keeping it pretty much stock for now. I still have to buy a second set of wheels and snow tires so unfortunately that will tap me out!

Welcome! This car has been pretty much problem free since they replaced the rear dif at 1000 miles.

Congrat's and welcome!

So you didnt get it Cadillac Preowned then did you?

No, I didn't. I'm going to get a 7/100K warranty either through a Cadillac dealer depending on the price (I'm going to contact the supporting dealerships that I see on this forum) or through an aftermarket company.

Do you suggest that I get it Cadillac Preowned?
