Default New CTS-V owner did I get a deal?

Hey guys. Not new to the forum. I've been here for a 11.5 years. I've had an LT1 T/A, LS1 T/A, Z06. Now with a wife and kid I needed 4 doors. Last week I bought a 2005 CTS-V Black Raven. It's stock but has new battery, water pump, motor and tranny mounts, tires, brakes, LS7 clutch. 107k miles paid $11,250. I feel like i got a good deal. The lady I bought it from lived on a dirt road so it's needs some TLC (good clay bar, buff, wax, detail in and out). Seems like a sold car though.

Just wanted to drop in and say hello, I'm excited about the new ride!

Sounds good. Would be awesome if the motor mounts were aftermarket. Should slide underneath and get the number off your diff to see if its a newer unit (may have been replaced).
Might you need a shifter?

Looks like a lot of the important things have been addressed already. I wish stock motor mounts actually lasted. I'd say that's a fair price.

Id say you did awesome.! Just drop it off at a detailer and plan for motor and trans mounts but otherwise ypu should be good to go... Oh, dont let it hop too much and the 1st-2nd hard shift breaks stuff so keep that in mind if you start feelin "froggy"

Or use some of that cash that you surely saved from picking up this car and invest in an 8.8.
