So I just finalized the deal for my new car. Picking it up in NYC on Saturday. Pretty much every option NAV, sport seats w/ suede inserts, xenons, sunroof, etc. My insurance will suck being under 25. ![http://www.compassluxor.com/autotrader/04CTSVBlkBlk_40172343/DSC00001.JPG](http://www.compassluxor.com/autotrader/04CTSVBlkBlk_40172343/DSC00001.JPG) ---

Judging by the grille, side badge, and brakes, it’s a V which, VERY NICE! One of the few american cars I would buy. ---

Nice car but still too much money. I just priced it for shits and giggles. $48350 with discount and rebate. Good price for a new caddy but thats right around $2000 down and $900 a month…ugh. I could swing it but I figure my retirement is more important at this point. ---

It’s a 2004 CTS-V with 42k on the clock A major deciding factor was that it still had a factory warranty left on it. Trust me it was a great price. I considered a CLK 55 (almost bought one) and an M3 but the warranty and being a GM product did play into the decision. As for what do I do for a living, I got my MBA last May and have been working for GMAC as a sales analyst for a year. Edit: Thanks for the spelling correction ---

Sean I will be home Saturday night and probably have people over, if you want to swing by. I might need some shifting pointers, reverse and starting from an incline will own me for a week im sure. As for the mommy and daddy paying for it, more power to the kid, just don’t expect to brag to someone who works full time out of school to pay for their beater and not expect to get there arse beat or his baby keyed.
