<\/a><\/p>\nYes, very specific.\u00a0 To get this exact, one probably needs to order a new car.\u00a0 However, I want the luxury of a new car selection while paying the lower price of a used car value.\u00a0 So I have to wait and find the ‘right’ car.<\/p>\n
When shopping for a car I try to settle in on the specifications for the exact car I want.\u00a0 Then I watch for cars that exactly FIT the criteria, or are one feature off.\u00a0 For example, this week there were 2 cars in the area that were 2010 CTS Sport Sedan RWD Premium models, both under 15K miles, but both were Black.\u00a0\u00a0 So they fit all of my criteria except for color, and were ‘one’ feature off my target.\u00a0 Actually, neither was at my favorite Cadillac Dealer<\/a> or certified pre-owned, so 2 features off.<\/p>\n There are still “new” 2010 CTS models available.\u00a0 Cadillac also offers a significant cash back savings on these models, since the 2011 models are on the floor now and the 2012 models will arrive in a few months.\u00a0 However, the used car value of $30-33K is even less than the with-cash-back GM supplier discount new car price of ~$40K .\u00a0 Although this is still much less than the original retail price of $49K, it is the lowest number in the discussion that I want to budget of course.<\/p>\n So I will keep shopping until the ‘right’ Cadillac comes along.\u00a0 Or I find a V-Series model I can’t resist.\u00a0 Or maybe a nice XLR, or split the difference and find a great XLR-V? No, when the ‘right’ one comes along.\u00a0 Definitely.\u00a0 Sort of.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am still settled on the vehicle I am shopping for — a 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Sedan Premium RWD model with under 15K miles in Crystal Red Tintcoat, preferably Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned.\u00a0 Or occasionally any used Cadillac V-Series model.\u00a0 … Continue reading
