Been looking at some on Autotrader, and there's a bunch around me in the low-mid 30's with low milage. Looking at one with 17K miles on it going for 34K. I think they went for 70+K new? Has anyone heard of long term problems with them, are they reliable?

If I got one I would be trading in my GTO. It's a daily driver, bolt ons only and never sees the track. 90% of the road time would be on I-95 driving to work. The V looks like an excellent highway driver. I just can't believe a two year old car that cost over 70K new can now be afforded by a mere mortal such as me lol.

Yes they are heavy. The CTS is no lightweight either.
A car that was 70K 24 months ago that I can get for 33K is not expensive.
The look better than the CTS-V.

My dad has owned a STS-V for a little under a year now, bought it new, and aside from 5 points on his license no problems with it and he drives it like stole it. On the way home from the dealership he lined his mirrors up with mine and smoked the tires launching against me.
Good car, I'd consider getting it, the ride in it is amazing.

Not that I would be taking it to the strip every weekend, but here is a stock one that ran a 13.2. Not too shabby.

IMO they look much better than the CTS, especially from the rear.
