Default What is wrong with this car?!?!?!

I know it's NOTHING like an E60 M5 or E63, etc., but damn 110 miles on the car. Certified to 6 year/100k miles, 470hp 4.4L supercharged DOHC V8, big brakes, decent exterior, okay interior, for $52k?!?!

What is up with these cars? I know they aren't world beaters, but for the money, it has to be a compelling alternative for a sports sedan??

52K is kind of a lot of money...

When the MSRP of these cars is $77k, then $52k doesn't sound so bad. Basically a new car for $25k off sticker.

I'm guessing there's no interest or hype in that vehicle. You posting it brings it to my attention for the first time. At an MSRP of 77K, that car is competing with much better alternatives. However, it seems like a steal at that price, if you like Cadillacs.

$77 K?????????? Jeepers.

It begs the question that on a car model where the average buyer is probably late 60's early 70's do you really need a 470hp model?

The CTS-V is where the non AARP money goes.

Thats a steal considering a loaded 3 series can be upwards of 50k.

A loaded 3 series is probably more fun to drive even if it is short 170hp. Hell it might even be just as fast.

The CTS-V is the better car IMO eventhough the STS-V looks far better.
