yes, but you might need lube and deal with a limp stick

you must be an expert with cold pressure gauges

it's new.. if they keep it for a few weeks.. it'll definitely dip to the low 40s.

Having CTSV wheels on my G8 i have same problem, sometimes when im driving just one sensor triggers the alarm on the dash for a second or two then goes away, eventually it happen that it threw the TPMS error on the dash but next time i started the car it was all good. i noticed that with the new wheels the difference between a cold and hot pressure is significant almost hard to believe from 38 cold goes up to 44 hot and i know its not accurate since i checked with my own pressure gauge and it was below 40. is there permament fix for this ? im about the order whole new TPMS set

I hadn't seen that video. Thanks for sharing!
"I would be a hero to my little boys." Yup, that's about how my son feels when I accelerate, um, briskly in the wagon. I only do this when mommy is not around because she is scared spitless when I do that. Beastmode is definitely off when the wife is around.
"I love how that steering wheel feels. It's suede." Well, actually, it's Alcantara, but OK.
I still giggle like a little boy when I put the hammer down in my wagon, just like some of the people in the video.

Yes! Those emotions don't fade. My buddies little one loves the V. The first time I took it for a test drive, my buddy and his 3 year old son came along. After installing the car seat (sales guy was like.. ), we got on the tollway. I got a feel for her and did a loop back.
Going back I hammered it merging from the ramp, 5 lanes of completely open tollway. The V roared into life and my buddies son exclaimed "What's that daddy?!" "It's the car mijo" "No! No it's not the car!" He thought we were in a rocket ship. Now every time he sees a silver caddy he's like Joe! Vrooom!!!
The wife is okay with it. We take it out and have some fun on the weekend. Mostly cruising, some stop sign peel outs. Nothing crazy. I told her it's too much fun, she affirmed that it is.

I think a lot of V owners complain about the resolution of the camera. Although it's widely available, even standard on Toyotas now, it's still not commonplace yet.

There are some aftermarket cameras that have better resolution. Some guys have bypassed it and use a display integrated into the rearview mirror.

Looks like that wagon sold. It's a great deal at that price even with the branded title. There are good deals out there. However, like a NSX, you have to leap at the chance immediately or miss the few great deals that show up.

40k for a 2011 vagon is pretty good.

Being a 2012.. maybe they'll take 43k, but I think it's time on the market is running out.

2014 Cadillac CTS V in Ft. Myers, FL- 11689645 at carmax.com
This is a great deal for a 2014 wagon at a CarMax in Ft. Myers, FL. It's probably a bit less because it's already seen 24k miles. $55k
I'm tempted to go to the new CarMax in my area to see how much I can get for my unicorn, just for spits and giggles. I'm still not selling.

That one sold yesterday. It was on their lot for a total of three days. It was priced quite well for a 2014 so it got snapped up.

How many 6 speed Vagons were made?
I checked a few days ago for shits & gigs and didn't see a single manual for sale nationwide.

You keep posting these wagons and I keep looking. Then thinking to myself should I trade the IS-F for one? Maybe if found the right white or blue with yellow brembos and recaros.
