I bought mine 3 years ago with 5 miles on it and as of today 11,XXX miles... Yeah I know I need to drive it more, but problem here is the V will sit during the winter. I mean I don't store it for the winter, I drive it during the winter months every chance I get, but once the snow hits and they salt the roads it stays inside until we get some rain to clean the salt off the roads.

Wasn't that limited edition on the coupe only though. The black seats and dash with red sitching? I really like the coupe that had the yellow incerts in the seats as well. That was my first experience with a CTSV actually. Sat in a black diamond coupe in cali when I was out there on a trip and it was just on display.

yeah, I have a 10 mile daily commute...
and can sometimes take the S2000 instead or the wife's car on the weekend...
although she does enjoy driving the V on the weekends too when we go out. It's that kinda thrill.
Shiet...Kam'll do black interior swap...I'll do a vinyl wrap = profit.
At the price we paid, Andrew...I honestly think we couldn't have gone wrong no matter how you slice and dice it. We could sell our wagons TODAY and walk away with all our money in.

My commute to work is 1.7 miles. So it definitely doesn't play into the miles I put on it at all.
Since I have bought the wagon I have made like 7 trips to PA, 4 trips to Pittsburgh, and 1 trip to ohio. Each of those on their own is 1000 miles or more round trip. We never take my GF car anywhere so any places we go together is always in my car.

Regarding the limited edition, for the final run of the 2G CTS-V for 2015, Caddy limited production to only 500 coupes and these cars came standard with the Ebony Recaro interior with red stitching, metal pedals, the sapele wood trim, suede wheel and shift knob, black chrome grille, satin graphite wheels, red calipers..
And if I remember correctly they only came in White Tri-Coat, Black Diamond and Phantom Grey (I think).. My dealer had a black one and I almost traded my coupe for it but couldn't bring myself to get rid of my coupe. If it was a 6MT maybe it would have made me think harder.

That's it for me too...
to want recaro, 6mt and wdp or grey...I would have to find all 3 in one thing for me to be inspired...and they're always 15K or more than what I owe...so, nope. I'm good.
I just wish I'd have known how much I was gonna love the car to begin with because I might have bumped the budget a bit. If I had a time machine to a year ago I'd jump on that thunder gray with yellow caliper recaro 6mt wagon that the guy wanted $44k on...only caveat was that it was a gm exec program car but it only had 11k miles. So no warranty on it...and "rebuilt" title...so...
meh...maybe not...then I'd be stuck with something hard to sell down the line
both of those 6mt wagons sold in 2 days for almost 60K...the only ones remaining are the 76K ones listed

Honestly, DC...I wish I had known how low you'd be willing to go since you settled lower than the price we discussed...I wasn't in love with silver but and I would have been about $5K more for NOT black and recaro....
I've thought about that a lot, actually...
6MT would have pushed me to...but then you'd have probably been priced 10K higher.

^ Yeah... only reason I let it go for that it b/c we were going to pick up the AMG a few days later. Otherwise I would have pulled it off the market and held it until spring to get a few thousand more. In the end I didn't feel like having all of these cars and buying the AMG on top of it... so it just made more sense to sell. Still got a good price and came out ahead, so can't really complain.
It's funny though b/c reading through everything that car had everything I wanted, no issues, and ran great. Probably should have kept it. Well, I think that... then I take out the AMG (took it out today for a quick errand) and all is right again...

Well, that was 3 years and 2 months ago, and in that time guess how many times she has driven the V......NONE!!! BTW I ask her all the time if she wants to drive it....

Well, I wasn't implying anything...
just doubting my passing on it, that's all. Like, for a few grand more I'd have a well maintained silver with recaro instead of mine.
But again, for $5K I guess I could retro some seats and vinyl wrap it atomic teal too
I'm glad you're happy and got what you needed, man...
I wish I was in a position to make massive purchases like that without worry.

I know you weren't implying anything. I only said I understood what you were saying because like you, I was doubting or in my case "second guessing" my decision to pass on the 2015 Limited Edition BD Coupe my dealer had.. I guess I should have been clearer..

LOL...
it's funny though, aside from probably NBob...
everyone has their reservations and 'settled' to a certain degree.
Like, if I could I'd have this combo or that combo...
everyone can agree he got the best of the best though.
I saw some base seats where dude changed out the suede inserts for red ones...and it looked pretty damn cool and custom.

Well, I was given a strict budget...
going over that and both cars had to be sold and you know I love my S2000.
In addition, it was a shot in the dark as you don't know how well something will fit your needs, how it'll drive in all situations, how much fun it'll be...until you've signed on the dotted line and you're married to it. So now that I know what a blast the V is...I'd probably go back and stretch the budget. I think my next car will be manual, and more connected to the road...likely slower and better mpg...and probably FI.
Maybe I'll just wait until your wife is tired of the AMG and buy that...

One of the reasons I wish I drove it more. I sold it for a little more than I paid for it but honestly, I probably could have put more miles on it and still come out ahead. I was just really trying to say below that 55k number.
