There's a 22K mile Silver Wagon, 6MT in Florida too, Majofo...pricing is higher at 45K but with your negotiating skills...
I believe it's still Cadillac Certified...I did a search on car gurus, no mile radius limit, wagon, 6mt...when I got pissed at the TL the other day.

Still a bit high for what it doesn't have. Make an offer at $37k and see what happens
That's a pretty good price for those miles and 6mt.
Prices are going to start falling a bit now that summer is over. Car market tends to slow down a bit after Labor Day and through the winter... especially for a 556hp RWD car... so if anyone is serious about buying you probably have about 4 good months or so ahead of you. The only downside is that inventory thins out a bit as well since sellers know they will not get top price in fall/winter. But if you're going to find a good deal, it will likely be in the next few months...

I trust your judgment...when the time comes (and I'm hoping it does)...I might bounce some ideas/cars off of you, if that's okay. You seem to really know your shit and it would be appreciated to have a 2nd and 3rd opinion JOE for such a large purchase.
I still have my sites on that GM track car one not too far from me, but dude has to come down about 10 grand for me to be serious. Especially after what you told me about him paying 6K LESS than he's asking for the car that's just sitting.

The V wagon bubble has burst....at least for the winter. Some steals to be had for sure if you wait a little longer.

Guess I bought too soon then since I still don't even have the paperwork in hand to register mine I have not even been able to drive it much for fear of being pulled over with no registration or title for the car.

I wouldn't call it a fantastic deal but I still think it was a fair deal and I got pretty much every option I wanted in the car. Plus it was fairly local so didn't need to ship it. Probably more sour about the fact I still haven't been able to really drive it at all especially pushing it. That hopefully is about to change.

Jason got a good deal considering it had the mods he wanted. Pretty much saved a bunch on wrench time / labor.

All the mods it had were things I wanted to do so that is good. The list of mods I still want to keep growing though.

I'm in love with the ATS-V hood / lip spoiler.. I know some companies have done some for the V2.. I wonder who is still doing them and options. Probably the only aethetic mod I've been contemplating lately.

cadillac is doing some incredible things with their styling...staying relevant as fk.
every time you fall in love with a model, bam, you see a newer one on the road looking like a spaceship. I know some don't love the 1G, but take yourself back 10 years and that was a seriously cool looking car on the road...
I'm confused though, those are ATS mods that'll fit your car? Or just something you're admiring from afar?

From afar.. There are similar mods for the V2. It's just nice coming from the factory.

nah.. the trunk lip spoiler has been out before ATS/CTS-V. They just hit all the right cues on it.

such a beautiful ride.. 100k tho.. probably will make the resale on the V2 high for a while.

I think the displacement purists will not be happy with not having the LS...
in a way, they slimmed out the rear too much, almost lost a little of it's edge, visually and figuratively. I think yours will stay relevant for a long time to come.
Good thing is, some rich fuk in Boca will go buy the 100K one and then sell his low mileage V2 for cheap.
I saw a ATS coupe the other day on the highway...seriously great looks on that thing.

Yeah a coworker of mine has the 2.0T coupe in white.. fucking tits. Of course, can't have nice things here, her rear 1/4 panel got smashed last week. Not sure how, don't even care to ask.. sucks.

I take it back, it's just from the back that they seem to have toned it down, side and front are still fantastic and sinister looking as fuk.
Roger that, gonna go look. I mean, you probably don't need anything more than the stock power...imagine that power on a car weighing 1000 pounds less...shoot, even 1500 less (the S)...probably too scary to even be enjoyable.
I watched this /Drive video the other day on this magnificent, homeboy hand built Malibu...
he explained why 800 HP was dumb (his car is 500, by choice)...pretty interesting video considering how we're never satisfied and always wanting more and more and more.
If you're bored

I'm gonna use that when someone does something stupid ...oh that's "butt fuck logic"
Yeah, I was pretty sure both ATS and CTS V's were dropping the LS.
Turbo is no joke...I'm sure, I guess it makes sense, they'll get close to the same numbers but probably be able to get over 20 mpg. First turbo I drove was in HS, my buddy's uncle's 280Z he gave him...boosting 26 pounds...went sideways on me without warning and I was hooked...but also cheap and too practical. I'd love turbo at some point...but I guess I've gone off topic.

Nah the V3 has the LT4 out of the Z06.. I don't know if they resolved the overheating issues, but it's a beast and geared for +200 mph

Still a low-revving pushrod.. with snap tendency to kill everyone in the room.. and the next room.. pretty much the whole building, if we're talking about the sears tower.

The 3G V straight on from front is just beautiful looking. That white one is like perfect stormtrooper look from the factory.
