Used Cadillac CTS Prices!

[555ST]

Sorry, not Corvette related.

Just looking at prices of used 3.6 CTS (old shape) and was astonished/appalled to see that Stratstone (who else) have a '55 plate with 23,500 miles up for £5,891.

Our North London branch has just sold an '05 Volvo S40 1.6 SE (cloth seats, manual, no nav) with 42,000 miles for £7,500.

The motor trade is a very strange business indeed...

You're a bit late with that story - talk to Vet Guru!

[555ST]

Oops! Sorry!

I must say, ex-OJL looks very nice and shiny in your pictures.

[Vet Guru]

That one Sounds expensive to me!!
I like a 3.6 V6 VVTI sport lux with sat-nav for a bit less!!! And lets not forget a service and Mot and a bling Caddy V series grill..


Vet Guru is also the caddy daddy

Hi Stephen, thank you! It's in better shape than when I bought it almost 2 years ago now. Spent bucket loads on it and I am always amazed how brilliant the shine is off the body work, it looks even better in the flesh. Lets hope my new one is as reliable as this one has been, I'm sure it will be!

And Caddy Daddy?!! That's it mate, Mr Smirke is no more, Caddy Daddy is the man!

How comforting to see you on here Mr Lynch.
Mitch and I were worried that some dreadful fate must have overtaken you.

So have you finally given in and bought a Z06, or are you just teasing Mr Slocombe?

James , nothing changes. You do all the work and suddenly you can't make contact anymore.

[G4HKS]

Ha! Especially when the dealer tries to call you on THE WRONG TELEPHONE NUMBER despite the new one being in big bold numbers on at least two of my emails to Mitch!

Yep, finally taken the plunge so get ready for pages of boring Z06 reports.

The most difficult ones own red cars...

About friggin' time! Well done Martin, keeping the UK car dealers in business single-handed.

How many cars in the last month does that make it?

BTW, learn the terminology, it's Z06 (even though everyone says, "Zee/zed Oh Six"...)

[G4HKS]

Cheers David, you're right, it is about bleedin' time. First main outing Sunday week if you are going to join the trip to Heritage Centre although probably a bit too slow for you?!

Went to the new Corvette authorised repair centre in Reading today, very impressed. When they get all tooled up and fully trained it will at least be another place in the south that Vette owners may use.

Btw, 4 since December!

Hehe, I thought it was your car that got spotted there! http://www2.evo.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41720

Are you keeping it or trading it in against the Zee?

Sorry, I already have an event on the 15th and will have to cancel that if the wife's Abarth is ready for collection that day.
Have a great time and don't forget the LS7 likes revs more than the LS2. We don't want to read any VHR-like "it doesn't feel that quick" type comments on here!

I expect to see some great pics ASAP though.

Cheers David and I hope your Mrs enjoys her new car and the sun stays out all day for both of us this coming Sunday!
