Re: 2008 CTS 4 / GM’s mentality – Garage door opener [bingoman]

I think rcantwell makes a valid point that including it only with an expensive package is not good. While people without a garage don't care, most people with a garage would want it even if they did not want some of the other options. For 2009 the sunroof appears to be a separate option, but the opener is still only part of a package, although three different packages ... Read More...

You are entitled to your opinion, but so are the folks at Cadillac, and their opinion was that not enough folks buying the base luxury model wanted a garage door opener (see 150mph above). Thats capitalism for you, the seller gets to choose what he thinks will sell. The buyer only gets to choose whether or not he/she wants to buy. There are a number of things that I ... Read More...

Having Cold Feet About Buying American

Written by: concrndconsumr on Jul 08, 2008 02:12 PM

My name is Rob and I am new to this site. I post today because of my concern about the 2008 CTS. I absolutely love the design of the car, inside and out – there is no question that the 2008 Cadillac CTS is an award deserving car. BUT, as a driver of Japanese cars my whole driving career, I am having cold feet when it comes to purchasing an American car. Due to the many miles ... Read More...

I think, but am really guessing, that the QAF\performance_handling_package is designed for the 1SG STS, which is seriously upgraded from the base STS. If you wanted to put it on the base STS, it would probably cost a few thousand extra to upgrade the base STS before you could get QAF installed. I think when the STS was first put into production, they may have wanted ... Read More...

Wow sls, we agree on something. You got my point exactly. While I didn't buy the premiumn luxury package, I did buy the seating package, luxury1 package, competition package, and others. I just think that somewhere along the way Cadillac should have made the opener available without having to spend an extra 6 grand or so on options that I didn't need. The main reason ...

2008 CTS fair price

Written by: genuisity on Apr 27, 2008 08:11 AM

A Cadillac dealer, about 35 miles away from home, is trying to locate a CTS with all options, without a roof, emailed me saying that he might have one for me in few days. According to Edmunds.com the average loaded CTS is sold about $1,000 above invoice, and according to Costco their negotiated prices should be better than the average price at Edmunds. My question ...

I doubt that any dealer knew about specifications or materials changes ahead of next year model announcement; it’s a possibility that the company might increase the engine horsepower, or the quality or the intensity of the sunroof screen without a change in 2009 ordering guide. It’s also a possibility that Cadillac don’t want to announce all 2009 improvement ... Read More...
