New Toy...long time coming. Posted By: Jeremiah On: 07-03-2009 @ 00:36:35 Reply | Edit Welp, the bug bit me again. My wife and I have been talking about it for a while, I just havent come across the right deal. At lunch I went to the Pontiac, Buick, GMC dealership just to see if they could find me a CTS-V anywhere in the area and give me a fair price for my truck. I did not really expect to find something. They have some computer database setup and the nearest CTS-V was 1600 miles away and they ship it here for free. They gave me way more for my truck than I expected and signed the papers. I should have the car Monday (Tuesday at the latest) because of it being a holiday. I have the right to refuse it if I don't think it is in the condition stated. Its a 2005 Stealthgray CTS-V, 40k miles, M6...should be a fun car...lets see how long it remains stock  -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix ..only own GM and always will  Posted By: Howi152 On: 07-03-2009 @ 00:51:01 Reply | Top | Edit Congrats!! Sounds like it'll be one hellva car let me know how much u like it -- rip:

Those cars are awesome as is. I've been on the GTO bandwagon for my next ride, but CTS-Vs are appealing and the price range for one that's a few years old should be pretty similar (what's the damage for you, if you don't mind me asking?) I think I'd be less inclined to mod the CTS vs. the GTO, too, which would save me money and a headache in the long run. Love the CTS's in gray and silver, the GTO I'd look for black or arrest-me-red. -- Me > Tyrel > Nate > Pongo > pirate > three dead $5 hookers > Dubya > Pauly Shore > Meg Griffin > A-Rod > Michael Moore > Jimmy Fallon > crunk Posted By: Jeremiah On: 07-03-2009 @ 10:23:09 Reply | Top | Edit My favorite color for the cts is black, but the only black they could find was a year newer and about $5k over what I wanted to spend. I got this one for $24k. I know I could find a similar year/mileage car for $20k on autotrader, but I don't mind spending the little extra to be able to get rid of my truck and have it delivered for free and still have the right to refuse it if I find something wrong with it. I get free oil changes for life at this GM dealership too. -- 2005 GMC 1500HD 6.0L, 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix ..only own GM and always will Posted By: ThumperNC24 On: 07-03-2009 @ 10:38:53 Reply | Top | Edit stock is gay, mod that shit right MEOW i am extremely jealous, those are damn nice cars, and you got the LS2 version, very very nice. --
