Greetings! Just registered...

So I've been anxiously looking at CTS-V's for about a year and I finally picked one up this past Saturday...

$25K for a 2004 CTS-V..
Now I know that's alot for a 2004 BUT, I picked it up with 7900 miles on it. (Clean carfax...clean car)
It still smells brand new!
I payed high retail for it, but based on my searches I can't find a CTS-V with that amount of miles for any less..
What do you think?

I'm pretty stoked on it...it's not as fast as my Ford Taurus, but it'll get there I'm sure





Looking forward to keeping this car for a long time and learning a lot from this board.

Thanks!

Congrats looks clean as hell but i have 3 suggestions

-get 06/07 center caps
-lower it
-and do the fog lights have condensation in them?

Is there any warranty left on the car?
Has it eve had the rear replaced?

That is on the high side but the mileage is awesome. Hope it has some kind of warranty with it though.

Sweet ride....I've had mine for 2 months now....04 Light Platinum with 65,000 on it and I paid 17,300....i'd sprung on that for those miles....IMHO good job, but hey I've always been told it's worth what it's worth to you

good job. I thought all the 04's had the antennae on the back glass, but I do not see that.

Welcome, and I love the car....but....

If your Taurus can beat it, the V needs a driver mod for sure!!

I thought that was a little weird too.

Really nice car though. I am really considering looking into one of these cars. I like them the more I see them.

How do people manage to own a car from 04 and only put around 8k on it? congrats on the purchase and enjoy.

I find that hard to do myself, but there's ppl out there that just make the cars garage queens and only come out on weekends. I still find it hard that alot of guys have 02 Limited Edition Camaro's with less then 10K miles on them.

Very nice, and if you are going for the black centercaps, consider buying some black lugs, get ones that lock, as lots o' haterz out there. Any mods come with it?

Thanks guys!!! I really am loving every moment of being in or around the car

As for the Taurus...I have a supercharged 90 SHO as well, 400whp...fun car. Yay for overpowered sedans!!

As for the car - It has no mods, I'm not in a hurry to lower it...all in good time.
Need some black center caps/lugs, smoked sidemarkers, get rid of the amber lights, smoke the taillights a bit....then some exhaust

A few things: no Navi DVD...whats a new one $150+??...., I TRIED to take it easy and with about 35% freeway driving got 14mpg...I assume thats about normal?...The fuel gauge is very innacurate too. Should I worry about the rear diff this early? I wanted to get an 06 for this very reason....but we'll see

I just got mine a little while ago as well, like the wheels, are they painted or powder coated?

Check for sale section, there's someone selling dvd's for about $50.

I do quite a bit better on mpg on the highway than 14. But each tank seems to average out to about 16mpg (50/50 city/hwy).

I'm surprised no one picked up on the Taurus SHO. I do the same thing tho... "my Cadillac cts beat your gt". I purposely leave out the v. Makes it sound worse

^^^^ its a 1990 lol not the new turboed one. i average 22 highway(20 now with the cam) and 17 city(16 with the cam)

Check in your owners manual for the Navi DVD before you buy one.

I dont know if I could just leave my V sitting for years and not drive it.
