Exclamation Good by Sc430 I Miss you! Now this is what I have!

Please dont bash me.. im simply saying good buy.. cause traded in my sc and now i got this 08 cadillac cts .. I need somthing with back seats and i always thought about either getting a bmw 3 series or a c class or the cts.

Went from this:



to this:


Now:

Compaired to all of them.. i chose this:






Im going to try to VIP the caddi.. which is ironic.. cause VIP are usally lexus cars or japanese cars..

Im 100% japanese.. but im gonna try to VIP this caddi..

I hate to blend in.. i always try to be original.. So here we go again!

Nice looking Caddy. Is it a V. You should contact KaiserSea1 he has his SC (LB) and a CTS-V that he also drives. Not sure of his mods on that. Good luck with your new ride.

Got mine for the same reason, kids complained about long trips in the SC. My CTS has no mods, I have been pretty happy with it, but a few more trips to the shop then I expected. I actually drive the SC more as my daily driver to work, and only use the CTS when I have the family with me. Test drove a 6, still has good power, but the V is Just scary fast

So do I, I paid less for my SC and CTS-V than the price of a new SC. Champagne on a beer budget. But if the government shuts down Friday, it will be no gas money, and corn flakes for dinner

Hi Rah,

Don't dispair & don't apologize. We will all sell our SC's one day; if we don't do it ourselves, our heirs will just after the reading of the will.

I have owned many cars that I thought I would keep for far longer than I actually did. Ironically, the car that I owned the longest was nothing special: '75 Volvo that I owned for 13 yrs.
