Default Club Cadillac??? Another Defector

Finally traded in my 460L, I went back and forth between alot of cars and finally decided on the CTS-V. Took 2 days negotiating, I was at the dealership until after midnight yesterday and finally closed today. Black looks so good clean but I'm going to hate trying to keep up with this. Still breaking it in snd only have 70 miles so far, Can't wait to let it rip. Sorry for the crappy blackberry pic

I was actaully looking at the CTS-V myself. I highly doubt I would trade in my Lexus for a Cadillac. Owned Caddy's all my life and the resale on those cars are just plain sad. But for a 2nd fun car...I like them better than the SC. Sorry. But that CTS-V is nice. Post some better pics. Would like some interior shots.

It's a nice car. I love the interior on 09' CTS-V. The only bad thing about 09'CTS is replacement body parts, it takes forever to get them from GM. It took 4 months to get the inner rocker panel, 3 weeks to get front & rear doors. The only advice to you, DO NOT get involved in the accident. By the way it's a very safe car, air bags and air bag sensors everywhere. Good luck to you with your new toy.

Congratulations, it is a beautiful car! I would probably have picked up a CTS-V if it had been out when I bought my IS-F.

Now more pictures!

I've got to admit, the CTS-V is one powerful and sexy beast. Love the styling and the power, my god. Good choice

The new V is sick. I got a ride in a CTS-V 2004 and it slams you in the seat. My father enjoys his 2005 STS. I am impressed with the leather and carpet quality.

i want 20% all around also but you have those WT plates...I have to stay with the 35% but something is better then nothing. I was going to see Cesar tomorrow but the wait on Saturday is crazzzy and I dont feel like waiting that long and its first come first serve. His work is one of the best I have seen to date Just wish I was closer to him. Anyone come to the house to do this? I have 3 cars I need done at once if that helps out
