Thoughts on purchasing a 2005-2007 CTS-V

Wow I need to get off the cold medicine

If you need a GM VIN searched for warranty work and build sheets let me know.

I LOVE the cts-v it changed my sights on that car!! I had a 05 with 40k on it, drove amazing cornered, braked, power was incredible. First mod slp loudmouth exhaust turned lots of heads haha. The 06 has a better rear end, the 05 rear cradle would hop under hard acceleration. I will get another for sure!

Buy one.

I’m going to go check out the one at deville. I dont really care for that place but at least itll give me a chance to check one out without driving 200 miles.

The paint looks like ass on that car and it always will in WNY.
DON’T BUY A BLACK CAR IN WNY!!!
My 2 cents.

Other than that, nice car.

Yeah I had mine changed out under the factory warranty for the newer unit.

Also, the another issue I just had to deal with is the 3rd brake light which the neon ballast fails and it is a sealed unit so not easy to service.
GM wants $650 for the light, but you can find them used for about $200.

Also, the only factory options are sunroof and block heater.

So someone claiming to have one with all the extras does not know anything about the car.

Options are:

Light Platinum, color code 67U,
Black Raven, color code 41U
Red Line, color code 29U
Stealth Gray, color code 46U

Also here are production numbers for the first two years:

2004: 2,461
2005: 3,508

Red and stealth gray not available in 2004

My truck I have now is black, and while it sucks in the winter nothing beats the shine of black after a good detail.

Wow, Im suprised at how few of these cars were built.

Eh, get a black one because in the summer it will be so hawt! Also they look siq blacked out.

Get rid of the chrome lip on the rims, get a taller tire, and smoke the chrome on the grill and you got what im going for

Looks much better there. Although the hood is a bit much IMO.

Ha nice find. Thats not a stock bumper is it?

It looks stock plus a lip

:spunk:

Wow, no better way to make a CTS-V look like a cheap piece of shit than that.

The one Ron posted is hot though. Though I agree I’d rather a stock hood.

The one I posted also had a 427 stroker

1g6dn57u860155657 is the vin of the one at deville

I do like the one Ron posted better, i was at work and didn’t have time to find a better looking one. Although it would be hawt if it was white with a carbon fiber hood and yellow headlights… probly drifts better then a 350z too…
