Default hate to say it for all you German car fans.......(cadillac content inside)

cadillac cpo covers EVERYTHING but brakes, tires, fluids, filters and belts. When I bought my S4 I figured CPO would be the same as caddy if not better... FAIL... very dissappointed when I heard all the expensive things not covered. So wait for the 09 cts-v to come off lease, pay half the price of new, certify it and no worries for 6year 100k, not a bad deal.. :-)

Yeah, but then having to deal with YOU for service is not a selling point. ;-)

Default I think those CTS - V are pretty sweet, I hear about head bolt issues though....

Truth or rumor?

Default the new one hasnt reached us yet but I havent seen any bulletins pertaining to any

head issues. The last body style only had rear diff and waterpump issues(they also burned through the stock F1's in less then 10k miles) My understanding is the engineers fixed the axle hop from the last V and it goes like stink now. Cadillac is finally doing something right with a car.

Default Same experience with my old X5 there and out in the burbs in Schaumburg. I had a ton of

the typical issues...still amazes me that a german car could have the door latches actually freeze in winter repeatedly in below 20 degree temps and the doors would not relatch closed...ever tried to drive while holding your doors closed...its fun, then figured out how to get the seatbelt through the handle to hold it on the way to dealer.

lol, I guess I'm glad my 6 sets of latches was for the opposite problem.
