Black on Black FULLY equiped.
Thanks
Hank
It has the navigational system, xm radio, wood steering wheel, 6 cd changer, leather sheets, The Sport Package, OnStar, Luxury Package, automatic sunroof, and maybe more.
I'm lame on the language, what does "$31,9/$32,5 would just about kill it ..." mean?
Thanks again. You've been a huge help!

MSRP - $34,070
Gross Capitalization - $32,534
Rebates:
$1,000 CCR
$1,000 Resident / NCL
$750 NSE
$1,000 Two Coupons CHT
$3,310.07 GM Card Rebate {Gold Card with no limits}
Everything seems to indicate that there are at least $3,750 in rebates out there for leasing a 2005 CTS in my area. Not sure what all the codes mean, but the CHT coupons seem to be at the discretion of the sales manager as I ended up doing the deal with him after having a problem with the salesperson.
Since I won't have a trade, I want the best deal, to cut down on the sales tax hit. I hear of this car taking a $10,000.00 hit in resale in 1 year, and so don't want to see (or pay) anything over 25,000.

I paid $36,000.00 plus sales tax and a $100.00 charge for a new florida plate because I didn't trade any of my other Cadillacs in. I just saw the recent exchange on the 2004 and it looks like that car should have gone for 32-33 thousand. This car being 1 yr newer maybe $2000 more? I think the 6 year 100,000 mile warranty is well worth the 1,000 or so that they add on to the price of the car, because now my wife has a car with a 92,000 mile warranty that doesn't expire until July 30, 2010!!!! So I think that was a pretty good deal.
This was my third car from Ed Morse Cadillac in Tampa FL and I bought them all from the same salesman. He understands my nitpicking, I call it attention to detail, and the sales mgr, is also a cool guy. They had the car "internet priced" at almost 38,000 and the sales mgr with going under that price by almost 2,000 and absorbing the "dealer services fee" (500 bucks). The internet sales mgr was not a happy camper though, he was trying to get me to buy the one with the 3000 miles (and the replace differential) which DIDN't have the Nav system for almost 1,500 more than I paid for this one. The only negative is not being able to chose the color. Black is ok (my 1995 is black), but with a black car, I would have had the two tone lt/dk grey interior or the all dark grey interior, or, preferrably one of the silver colors with the two tone interior, but beggars can't be choosers!
Anyway, my wife better like this car because she ain't getting another one until 2011!

I have owned CTS for 7 months now and
has its pros & cons.
Let's go with PROS first:
Good looks. It still turns heads.
Buttery ride with plenty of power.
Comparably affordable (5 series, E-class, etc.)
Cons? Good grief!
Big outside, small inside. Front passenger has to struggle with that odd glove box (hangs low).
Having numerous fit & finish problems (driver's seat moves, rattles in left front side, wind noises from right front, sunroof screen rattles, etc.), engine is entirely too loud for this class, odd interior (not luxurious, not sporty)and difficult for not-so-experienced drivers to park (due to edgy long hood).
I still love this car. It's sharp edges seperates itself from the rest. However, I would not buy it again. Compare to..say, TL, it is much less refind (engine, dash, fit & finish, etc.) If you are tired of ubiquitous imports (3 series, ES330, A4, G35, etc.), buy it. Outer beauty siezed your eyes, buy it. Otherwise, look around more.
Otherwise, this discussion is about Prices Paid & Buying Experiences. If you want to talk about your ownership of this car, please do so in the main Cadillac CTS discussion.

A dynamite car in all respects. Only had mine since 2/25 but loving every mile in it.
I think you will love the car. I have 5,000 miles on mine and I love the way it drives and handles. It is very fast with the 3.6 engine and the five speed auto transmission that is standard. I just checked on a second one and the list was 34,000 and they will come off 3,500.
What do you think is reasonable on these vehicles?
Thanks,

I currently own a '98 Eldorado and love it. It's my second Eldorado in the last 12 years. Since the Eldorado is now a car of the past, I thought I would try a CTS. I drove one and it seems like a wonderful car.
Do you have any other comments about the CTS?
Does anyone else out there have any comments about the CTS?
I'm on my second CTS now. Both have been 2005 models. I traded my first one because I got tired of driving an automatic. I've got no complaints about the car.
Thanks,
Chris

My fiance is looking to buy a CTS-V and is a long time Cadillac owner. He wants the sunroof as an option. Can anyone advise on rebates or prices they've paid recently? (August 05)
