Sorry buddy, but I don't think first time posters have their post actually posted for several hours. I keep on seeing that trend. I don't see the original posting until the next day or what not.

Anyways, back to your problem. In order for us to help you, you need to post the VIN so that we can check it. There are two give aways to having factory HID. One, 17" or 18" factory rims. However, now a days I wouldn't trust that with some many people swapping out rims. The second thing is headlight washers. The headlights have to be turned on and then press the windshield wash. The headlight sprayers will come out twice and spray the headlights.

As for memory seats, well if it has heated seats then it has memory seats.

How about posting the advertisement for the CTS and we can look at it.

Well if you want the memory seats and factory HID, you won't get it on that CTS.

That one is as base model as you can get. No heated seats, the lack of buttons on the hvac is a give away. No buttons for memory seats on the drivers door. 16" wheels, therefore no factory hid lights.

Good luck on your shopping though. Glad you came here to inquire about that CTS. Oh and another reason that they are "lying" whether they know it not... They list it as Front Wheel Drive, no CTS 1st or 2nd gen is FWD. All 1st gen was RWD, while AWD was an option for the 2nd gen CTS.

Just so that you'll know...

This is what a HVAC system looks like with the heated seat buttons.



This is what the driver's door looks like with the memory buttons. Which by the way, the heated seats and memory seats are in the same package. Unless it's a Canadian model, apparently they all came with heated seats. They have some cold asses up there. :-/



Even though this video was done with a CTS-V, it is the same exact way the CTS sprays the headlights.

hevenz... Did the dealer mention the broken knob for the passenger side HVAC vent? I am willing to bet that they have not. So if you are still considering this, which I really hope that you are not, make sure that they replace that for you. After all, you are traveling several hours for it. I actually traveled 2 hours one way for mine. But I killed two birds with one stone. Picked up a Cadi, and got to see Orange Count Choppers way back in December of 2008.

Edit:::

They've had this CTS on they're lot for nearly a year now and they haven't changed they're price? They actually posted this 40 second clip in March of 2012. Time to move on dude, PLEASE move on...

You know what I will tell Well Fargo. I would tell them that you have a better deal and that the dealership that they original financed through is a bit shady. I mean come on 11 months later and that car is still on the lot at the same damn price?

If they say no. I will sign up at credit karma.com and check my credit report once a month. It's free and what not, no need to provide a credit for "billing" for when there is none. I've been using them since October 2012 and haven't seen a bill. I will just do that as a precaution.

You are correct, halogen projectors do not have a horizontal cut off like a HID projector does. Even though the lens looks the same from the outside, there are different guts on the inside. And if you are in a state that has inspections, be careful. As they will be able to tell what type of lens you have by the DOT stamp. If the inspector knows the difference, light wise, from a halogen to a HID. Your in for a failed inspection.

At least that one is the color that you want and it has heated seats with memory.
