I bought a CTS-V today

[jlee]

2004 Cadillac CTS-V with sunroof, black/black, 68k miles.

I like it. A lot. Needs a bath, but I just got back from the DMV so that'll come later.

Err what?

OP: Nice! One of only three good looking current American cars, good choice.

 

[ponyo]

nice! looks very clean. private party purchase I assume? No sales tax on PP in Arizona, correct?

Correct to both! It is quite clean - needs brakes and the gas struts for the trunk, and the motor mounts are on the way out (according to the seller's mechanic) but not a priority yet.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Grats jlee! Very, very nice looking
Just please don't chase me in it - I can't possibly outrun you

 

[goobernoodles]

Nice. Looks like it could use a detailing and better tires.

 

[KentState]

Nice car. Just needs a maggie and you are set.

 

[MotF Bane]

Nice car. Getting rid of the Forester?

 

[alevasseur14]

A standard transmission in a Caddy? Delicious! Enjoy!

I'll detail it for you - you just need to get it to MN...

 

[Gillbot]

rockin!

 

[manimal]

That is a fantastic specimen! Nice clay bar then some hand applied wax of choice and you will be set. Great color combo too! I always consider those sinister in black.


Its completely stock right?

 

[jlee]

Yep, Forester is going up for sale. The tires suck...rears are brand new though so I'll either have to match them, run mismatching tires, or take a hit and buy four.

Alevasseur14- yep, 6mt, and a Corvette motor

 

[jlee]

Yes, bone stock except tires. Oh, bonus, it came with a full size spare! Apparently the V only came standard with fixaflat.

:awe:

Mmmmm Corvette motor. We detailed a '10 or '11 a few weeks ago and it sounded absolutely glorious pulling into the bay.

un-abused clean slate ftw!


I would run some primewells or something cheap mismatched for winter and get some fresh running shoes for track season ^^

 

[HarryLui]

Do some burn out and then get tires....

Going to Speedworld anytime soon?

 

[jlee]

I'm in AZ, every season is track season!

I'm thinking about moving the two good tires to the front and putting SDrives on the back, but that will give me a stupid amount of understeer.. ;/

How wide are the current good tires?

 

[jlee]

I think it'll need motor mounts sooner than later- I get a clunk if I get into it and then let off in high rpms...but once thats squared away, yeah I'll definitely make a few runs!

The chrome mesh really throws off the front end IMO.

 

[jlee]

All tires are 245 45 18, iirc.

So put something 275 ish on the rear, and voila, no understeer?

Forester is going up for sale.
