The average we found on a lot of cars was 10-16k off sticker.
Next is to test drive everything and narrow the list down lol Also need to see what people have heard/read about a lot of these cars too. I think right now I'm looking at;
Caddy CTS
Caddy CTS-V *used

A new CTS vs a used CTS-V? IMO...if you can grab a great deal on a DI RWD CTS, you will be more then happy. I would deff go for a new CTS over a last gen CTS-V.

Pontiac G8 GT
Pontiac G8 truck thing, if it ever comes out

Get the sedan.

Ford Fusion
Lincoln MKZ
Lincoln Zepher *used

MKZ has several nice improvements over the Zepher outside of just a name change. IMO, id rather get a Malibu LTZ. But Im a fanboy, what do I know.
Out of the three, the Milan is the best buy. Better looking then the boring Fusion, and better looking then the old Linc designed MKZ.

9-5?? Get the 9-3, the new design looks great. Go balls out and get the new Turbo X model!! 280hp AWD! Very cool car.

Drive the Charger first, then drive G8 GT. Tell me which one you REALLY want.
Not bad at all, very cool car.
Id throw Malibu LTZ on your list.
252 hp, 6spd auto, Onstar free for a year with connections and directions, bluetooth, XM radio with Aux jack for MP3/iPod, two tone leather interior. And if you want something a bit frugal on gas, the LTZ is now standard with teh 2.4 and 6spd auto getting near 33mpg, best in class.
Id also look at maybe a used Caddy STS with the northstar.
