Not the first to tell me that. Might do a SLIGHT SLIGHT tinting of the tails. and the 3rd might just get blacked out completely.

Right now my aggrivation level is at its highest...

I paid off his loan to get the car. Talked with them for 2 weeks tog et the process straight... They screwed up or lied cause I paid to have a certified check overnighted to them last monday... And I still have no Title. No title means no registration. Which means NO driving. ARG..

If they check was certified why didn't you take the title with you? If it's being mailed by the bank I wouldn't worry. Just call them.

That sucks. I had to wait for the title for mine for almost a month. Out of state banks, his bank holding the check for 9 days then him having to pay the loan when it cleared with another bank, 14 days for the title to clear blah blah... The car sat in my driveway for almost a month. I also had to wait 2 weeks to pick the car up as he would not let the shipping company pick it up until it cleared his personal bank. This is why I like to pay with cash in person and do not like buying vehicles with liens on them. Too much extra BS to deal with.

I was more interested in Thunder Grey. Did NOT like stealth. So it was Black or thunder with black intieror. I will NOT go with a light interior ever again.


THank you all. Now I just need to get her on the road.

That's definitely a sharp car. I always liked the CTS-V but they were always out of my price range for the one I wanted. Enjoy your new ride!

Excellent purchase and congratulations, I know you have been lurking on here for awhile now and you finally have a V, good for you!

I totally agree with you about getting some of the aesthetic mods out of the way while you still have warranty, then when the warranty is out you can go ape **** with power mods. It keeps things interesting and gives you something to look forward to.

It is always a good idea to really get to know the car (power levels, traction, braking performance, etc.) at stock or close-to-stock power levels, and then as you start to know her like the back of your hand, you can start bumping up the power.

I thought the same about tan, but black exterior with the tan interior(as long as it has some black trim inside like door panels and stuff). It actually looks very good and to me makes the interior feel more luxurious.

I think silver/tan just clash.

A light interior is harder to keep clean but it does look better IMO. The one thing I really hate about my G8 is the all black interior.

That's cool that you were able to finally bag a V. It looks great and has good starter mods too.

yeah... and the trip was kinda boring once we got underway that sunday. Like if i had that weather saturday... well I wouldnt have bought snow tires thats for SURE.

cars been parked in the garage all week, awaiting the title to get mailed from the lender. THey have pissed me off to NO end. Everytime I tell them i need it and follow their directions to get it sooner... It doesnt help. If I make it to tuesday without it, that will be 2 weeks that they have had the check(certified so also the MONEY) and I havent seen a title.

Seller was badass, ive never seen a used car as clean inside and out as this was when I picked it up.

I was kidding. I washed it the day the mods were all finished on it and ryan came to pick it up at my buddies who did all the work on it. i'll tell the guys in the wash rack you were pleased. my good friend is the manager.
