This might help some as well.

It's hardly a comparison between a V1 and V2, 2 totally different cars.

V1=LS1 V2=LS2??????

Lost. Care to explain?

whisler151

V1= 2004-2007 CTS-V
V2= 2009+ CTS-V

2004-2005 V have LS6
2006-2007 V have LS2
2009+ is a completely redesigned car with LSA.

Are you looking for a V1 or a V2? Like Doms said, you cant compare the V1 and the V2, completely different cars. If you can afford the V2 then get it.

V1 = 2007 and older normally aspirated motor
V2 = 2009 and newer supercharged motor

Ok ya I know the 2009+ are a beast but
I am waiting to find the right deal on a 2009. $35-40k is what I would like to pay.

You will be waiting a few years !!!!

if you are buying a car to drive like a performance car and have no issue, while enjoying not replacing broken parts....

buy the 2009 and newer one.

Yup. I'm waiting for the $30k range too.

rjoffe

based on the depreciation of the V1, you are looking at about 5 years to reach 30K for a V2.

That means a 2009 V2 should be in the 30K range in 2013

That's gonna be a long line.

Im hunting for a 07 thunder gray with under 40k on it for anything under $30K...

Should be easier than this.

rjoffe

That should be quite doable, mid 25's should be the sweet point.

LegacyGTBiggie

Help a brotha out then? Cause on autotrader... i cant find any. and thats with huge miles to pick it up even.

Locally there is a 06 stealth gray with 43k on it for $24,989. But the price seems high with no 07(warranty). And the stealth gray isnt as nice as thunder.

Did find a 06 in INDINANA with nice mods(black) http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...r_id=291794848

Buts kinda high on price and VERY far for a drive from MD.

rjoffe

It will take some time.

I usually search:

craigslist using http://www.allofcraigs.com/
ebay
autotrader
cars.com

2007's are coming off of lease now, so it's just a matter of searching. And don't be afraid of distance .

Last car I bought was from Florida, and I'm in N. VA.

LegacyGTBiggie

Im thinking about that one in IN. It would be nice to have most of what I plan on doing DONE to the car.

Anyone know the owner?

Keep looking, I just brought one from MN, and I'm in TX.

LegacyGTBiggie

This is looking the best. And my Cop brother said he could flash a local PD badge and get a few grand off of that price...

Think its a good deal and close enough to thunder gray?

rjoffe

Price seems high to me.

And how would flashing a badge get you any discount ?

btw, check out inspectmyride.com, I have seen some of their reports and they were top notch, well worth the $$$ for far away cars.

LegacyGTBiggie

His words not mine. But you would be surprised the length of perks cops get is
