Hey everyone,
Help me decide what to get. Ive been going back and fourth with this for a month. My original plan was to get a 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS. This is still a strong option, but I have been thinking about what cars I can get for the same or lower price. I am keeping my truck, so this car wont be a daily driver. 4 doors is a plus but not necessary. I have access to a dealer auction, so I can pick up used cars really cheap. The prices I listed are all auction pricing with the exception of the Camaro which I will have to by at MSRP. What do you guys think? Pick one and let me know why you picked it.

Where you gunna get an 08 CTS for 21k?
Edit: nevermind, saw that

As for what to get...oh man, the choices!!

G8 GT is a great buy, offering great power and tons of room.
05 CTS-V, another great buy but interior materials lack.
Camaro RS SS package really offers a LOT for the money.
08 CTS with the DI 3.6 offers good power, great handling, smooth ride, and luxury interior. The SFI 3.6 offers decent power, but will be the underpowered model of the mix.

Other options Id look at is the new Buick Lax, which will be shown at midnight tonight.

Dont ask me why, but they are already at the auctions.

If you can really get a CTS for 21k, with a DI engine, the 40gig hd and navi, then DUIT!!

But the Camaro SS RS is really hot car too...they would be the two choices IMO.

I dont know what kind of options I can get at the auction, I am kind of limited to whatever is there. I am the kind of guy that likes to get all of the goodies with my cars, so the 08+ CTS with all of the goodies might take me a while to find in the auctions. Im willing to be that the one I saw go for 21k probably was a base.

Yeah, I would figure that as well.
G8 GT for 18k would also be a great deal...I didnt see that either. If you can really get a G8 GT for 18k...I might want to check that out...

Performance wise I'd go camaro luxury I'd go cts. For a little bit of both I'd go g8

Chose the G8 not because I own one but I find it to be a great value at that price and is newer than the CTS-V. Tough choices but they all look pretty fun!

Did anyone ever notice that the answers to polls like this always seem to gravitate towards the most expensive option? lol

CTS-V.....a cheaper version of the G8 GXP, with all the amenities, and still looks badass and performs well. There's a silver CTS-V with Magnaflow exhaust in my town and I <3 it. A sweet car regardless of doors, and a bit of a sleeper.

Only the G8 GXP had the 6spd manual option.
