What to look for? Are they reliable? No, nothing too fun. I’m looking at a 2004 6 cylinder automatic with nearly 100k. It’s listed at $6900. Seems like a good deal to drive for a year or two then sell for same price. ---

Do it. They were on the most reliable used cars lists for some time. Decently fun for what it is too. It’s funny, a CTS = all old person jokes but an A4/3 series/C class that are very similar people applaud. ---

I had an 04 5-speed - loved it and had no problems… although it did only have roughly 25K miles on it 🙂 ---

I thought about one of these, but I went with my Acura TL. Much better ride and more features. Parts are a little more expensive I think, but I love my TL. ---

Haters. Instead of like a 1-10 scale, consumer reports uses colored circles. Red circle = good, half red circle = OK, white circle = fair, half black circle = poor, all black circle = domestic. ---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ---------- > [@bobbyg1243](#): > > Just make it easy on yourself and buy this: See post about pack-and-play and stroller.

An 8 year old 100k mile GM vehicle that you hope to buy and resell in 2 years with no major repairs to save yourself some money. Who are you, and what have you done with logical Fry? [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/school-me-on-caddy-ctss/222864.md?page=2)
