Just got a TSX from a Caddy

Long story short- I Had a CTS V Coupe That was bad ASSSSSSSSS. But she sat in the garage too much.

Ive always loved the TSX so I stopped by the local Acura Dealer in OKC.

The made me an offer that I was happy with.


From This:







To This:






The Trade was my car for the TSX plus $2k in my pocket

TSX is 2010 Certified Tech / New Tires 75k miles

Was it because of the lack of rear seats that it sat in the garage too much?

Are you "cadi-lacking?"

Get it?

-The act of lacking ownership of a Cadillac.

I could care less for rear seats, my Truck and my wifeys TL has enough space for everyone

LOL



Aside from getting Clocked at 96mph this AM (Which Was Fun)

I drive a crap ton for work and wanted to let my trucka nd pocket book take a rest.

My Caddy got 15mpg / My Avalanche gets maybe 17-18 MPG

On my drive since the trade in the TSX im at ............ 31.4

No Payment and I will save for the next toy

I would have significant difficulty allowing that Caddy to sit in the garage too much! That was a very nice ride!

Yes- The CTS is a 5,000lb Luxury sedan that is faster than crap Stock vs Stock The CTS is faster.

CTS vs ZO6 is a drivers race
CTS vs ZR1...ZR1 should win

Sensible and reliable!

Im still counting all the lucky stars in the Galaxy as he let me walk with a warning because he liked the Cadillac.

That is unlikely to happen in the TSX or ever again.

how can you get rid of a car that got you out of a speeding ticket?! karma would say that 2k you got back in return will go straight to speeding tickets.

True, But now that I have the TSX I will be able to keep this as my DD and once my wifey gets a SUV I can get rid of my truck and get a fun toy again. Was hoping to get a C7 Vette but Im liking luxury Sports Coupes. The NSX would be fun but out of my price range. I may go back to a CTS V

Isn't an NSX around the same price as a CTS-V?

I hear the new NSX is going to be $100k + Ride. CTS V are snickered at $76k with major discounts like $12k-$15k off

I would be looking for a new vette at $55k
or a Used CTS V Againg near $45k

Vette gives option of convertible so there's that. Top down always good (minus heat, rain, freezing weather)

A Convertible Vette was my next plan, But luxury Coupe might be the way...

CTS V
MB SL550
BMW 650

But who knows what the future holds.

Im loving the TSX for now...Minus the Power
