I would def get a CTS-v IF i can find one in my price range at a dealer, from what ive found, they still go for 29-32k for a 2004-2005.

i found a very few sts-v cars, but they still in the 32-37k range(05/06)

i could rock a v6 sts IF i did a v series body "conversion" lol( big mod, so thats bad )

And, im saying dealer all this time because most likely i wont be able to sell my SKY privately and id trade it in. its trade in value is right around 23k. so i could drop a few extra grand so basically i wont be upside down on my loan, id get a car i could use more, (translates as: something new and shiny to distract me for a year or so) lol, and keep my payments the same for the same length of time.

i breifly thought about a lease but dont know how good they are. For a person like me who wants a diff car every year, it may be good... i dunno, opinions? i wouldnt mind trading in the sky to dump it, and picking up a 3 year lease... IF payments are reasonable.

problem with a v6 CTS(03-07) would be that id want to eventually do a v8 swap... (<<<< for the price, you're better off just spending an extra couple thousand and getting a V from the get-go)
the sky was gonna get an LSx motor when i paid it off.... i cant avoid large mods. haha

anyways, find me an '05 cts-v, at a dealer, in sept, used certified, under 50kmiles, for 25k and ill buy it... 'nuff said

otherwise ill look at STS's and CTS's. (only reason in my mind for a cts would be because i could get a 05-06 cheaper than a same year STS to save some money... i wouldnt be concerned with DI, sorry Al.)

2005, CTS-V, Certified Pre-Owned, 53,331 miles, asking $20,000.

It's not a dealership, but it serves just to give ya an idea.

if you're in Northern NJ, check out Brogan Cadillac on Rt. 46

WHEN DOES THE WARRANTY RUN OUT?
The warranty runs out 6yrs from the in service date (2/14/06), so that gives you until Feb 2012 or 100,000miles.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU OWNED THE CAR?
I have owned the car since Nov 9, 2007. I bought it certified pre-owned with 17,000 miles. The previous owner had the car on a lease and it was turned in with low mileage.

I copied that from his ad. He bought it pre-owned certified. So i guess he's assuming that warranty is transferable.

I wouldn't recommend the 3.2L to any one, that's not what I meant.
My post was meant to refer you to an active & helpful form while also warning you of the inevitable "urban perfection" threads (since 03-07 CTS are all lumped in the same forum).
