Cadillac CTS-V - Sold the V

Hey Guys,

Well it was a great journey. I absolutely loved my V but after 4.5 years its time to move on. The buyer is a forum member and had a 2004 V several years ago. He is a great guys and I couldn't be happier that a V enthusiast got my car. The Raptor is now my daily driver. Its not as fast but its still a lot of fun to drive. We picked up a CTS coupe for the wife and had some Vossens put on it. It is a sexy looking car.

For those wondering, I got $25k for my 2007 V with 59k miles. Its not what I wanted but in order to get the coupe by Aug 31 (end of month deals) I had to list her low. I had 4 offers at $25k within the same day. I have no doubt that I could have got $28k. For all the haters out there, the offers that I got were all from gear heads who wanted to not only buy a V, but also cam it. I knew that I was going after a small market, but for the guy who is going to buy a 2007 V then cam it with proper complementing mods, $28k would have been a very fair price. Several of them asked why it was listed so low, I explained that we had limited time to snag a deal on a coupe that was on the lot.

Here are a few pics I took while my wife was taking delivery of the coupe...

So now she's mackin, and your,,,,,,,truckin??? :confused:

The coupe does look good.

Those wheels on the coupe are sexy! Nice car! And $25k was a good deal.

Man, I love that CTS V.
That is just about the only car I would swap my WS6 for.
The new ones to me are just about the perfect street car.

Congrats Whisler...can't wait to see that Coupe in person, if I ever have enough time off from work to make it out to a C&C again.

Not a bad deal, those coupes look good, especially with those Vossen's on it!

And the wifey looks happy, that's what's most important!

That color coupe with those wheels looks really REALLY nice! I know your wifes happy....congrats on the new ride!

Fill me in. If you had to do it all over again would you trade your v in for a raptor?

Yeah, those wheels look good on the car and easy to keep clean too!

What are the non-V coupes running, anyway?

Congrats on selling the V...I bet you could've gotten $28k, but would've taken awhile and that was a fair price, I think. Still debating if I should put mine on the market, to see...About ready to trade it in, but that's a good $4k difference...hmmm

Those rims look awesome! Can they fit on a V2?

This coupe was $48k and $51k with wheels and tires.

Yep, they will fit any CTS coupe...V or non V. Coupe wheels have a lower offset so they will stick out if on a sedan/wagon.

Looks sharp. Nice price for your V.

Hate to see you sell the V, but at least you are rocking another Caddy. Nice rims, jerk ;) lol

is that ur chick getting the low down from the salesman? He looks sneaky watchout ; )

Glad A member picked it up!

Ha! That's the "Delivery Specialist" and the guy in the blue is a Pre-Sales rep. He was just checking out the wheels. We know both of them and they're good kids. lol

Fill me in. If you had to do it all over again would you trade your v in for a raptor?

Ideally I would have the Raptor for DD and the V for weekend/track use. They are two totally different cars. Right now, I am happy with the trade. The Raptor is an awesome truck that looks mean. It may not be as fast, but it sure gets up and goes from a dig.

Glad A member picked it up!

Me too. His next order of business is to get it wrapped flat black. Cant wait to see that!

Nice, were gonna have a flat black V runnin the streets... in for pics of this when its done!

sucks to see you go.. but u gotta think about the future. whats the motor on those btw?

Those CV3's look badass on the coupe... nicely done

Thanks. I absolutely love the look of these wheels.

Man, sorry to see you leave the V family, but it looks like you still have some really beautiful rides. What are your long-term plans for another sports car? I'm holding out for a C7 Z06 or possibly see what the ZL1 with a track package looks like.
