2006 STS V8 AWD Reliability
Looking to buy a new 2006 STS. The dealership still has two of them. One with 500 miles and the other with 200 miles. The MSRP was about $62K.
Do they still have them because there were some problems with the 2006 year? I am a German car owner, mostly VWs, but am considering an STS over a Passat as they are of similar interior size. The new STS with the same options (step down to the V6) is about 10K more list.
I drove the 2006 and was impressed, nice ride, not as "tight" as the VW and Audis but still very nice. We need a car for 4 adults under $45. We also looked at a Lexus GS350. I've seen several posts where they don't quite ride as fun/responsive as a German car.
My question here is around reliability. Are there issues with the 2006 or are owners happy with them? They started talks at $43K for the two cars they had. Maybe a response of how may miles you have vs problems.

Two of the cars are white and one red. It looks to me like they got a good deal on year end stock and couldn't move them. The interest rate offered was 6.5 and no other deals through Cadillac is why I think they own them.
They were fun to drive, one even had the heads up display. The only easy difference to see was no side grill, front grill, and steering wheel.
