Cadillac CTS

s15driftking · 05-30-2009, 05:14 PM

i just bought a CTS actually.

and its the 3.2 liter version and its 5 speed manual (ehich is an anomily).

If you buy a first gen CTS i would reccomend 3 things.

1. do not buy a base model... make sure you buy the model that has the HIDs called the sport/luxury model (feel free to pm me of any links of cars you are looking to buy, i can tell you what all they come with)

2. replace the Crank angle Sensor if its not already been replaced (should be 130-150 with labor). They tend to go out and will cause the car NOT to start.

3. If its a 3.2 liter make sure they did the timing/idle software update or the motor will have a terribly rough idle.

I love my CTS, i test drove a half dozen different CTS and STS and chose the CTS (even being a bigger guy) because the car handles in a much sportier fashion.

PM me with any that you are considering purchasing and i will tell you what model it is.

a base model with 55k miles on it should go for more around the 13k ballpark brother. i would do some shopping around. Send me a pm with your zip code and i will get on my slew of sites and find one within a 75 mile radius for ya!.

Are you dead set on black? i was so it was hard for me to find the perfect car, but i did.

Actually the price listed is wrong, they lowered it to the 13,8 range. I really want it in black. I think it would look awesome with some chrome rims and black tint.
