Vehicle recommendation?

Looking for a Vehicle recommendation. Very open to whatever. My daily commute is 7 -14 miles depending if I work one or both jobs.
I was looking for a decent Silverado but miles and prices are all over the place it seems. I did enjoy my Subaru’s, but everyone thinks they are worth the price of new.
Maybe another G8?
Budget is $20k
Doors don’t matter, I have a beater, just want decently reliable.
Suggestions?

I’d recommend another G8…I have a set of snows ill sell you cheap. :slight_smile:

Buy the GTO in the classifieds for 1/2 your budget.

Just had a co-worker pickup a very well optioned ($53k sticker) 2014 new body style CTS for that kind of money. Probably not the direction you are going but throwing options out there.

This. These cars are wonderful and have depreciated like a stone.

G8. Long tubes. Exhaust. Better sounding than lesbian sex

you can get a 2010+ audi s4 for that kind of money, great car, super reliable and pretty quick with minimal mods

Yup, or a 335i.

I’d take that over the caddy any day just because the caddy square style has never grown on me.

Plus my next car will be an Audi, either an A5 cab or S5 cab depending on how much money I want to spend.

B8 S4 is a solid choice, but your going to be looking at higher mileage cars if your budget is 20K.

I think the buy out on my 2014 silverado will be like $26K, x-cab 4x4 v8 ~24K miles. I have the GM discount if you wanted something new.

This is on my list. Any idea on maintenance on them? I seem to only find them around 100K miles.

Buy my GTO for half of that!

:wink: Caddy is worth a look haha

Eh, maybe that’s coming off the list. Didn’t they also have intake carbon issues also?

Sorry @Wahoo I don’t care to much for the gtos.

Pretty sure the 335 HPFP isn’t an issue anymore. A good friend of mine has one and I guess it was resolved with a software update that prevents the cavitation that was killing the pumps.

Every car with direct injection gets carbon buildup.

I like the Audi’s as well, but a 7 year old Audi wouldn’t usually fall into reliable category.

Style is a personal choice but I don’t think it is a bad looking car. They are big and roomy.

Didn’t know that they resolved it. That’s interesting. I’ve heard that most DI motors can be cleared of carbon decently well by doing the Italian tune up, but didn’t know that the BMW issue got specifically fixed.

Regardless, I’ve driven the e9x BMW vs the newer Cadillac stuff and prefer the Caddy from almost every standpoint from handling to power delivery to interior, but that may be personal preference. I have an Audi now, have owned BMW and have never owned a Caddy so take that all at face value as unbiased, haha.

I love my 13 ATS AWD V6. It’s every bit as fun as the sti was in stock form, and with decent tires I’m sure it handles better.
