Had to get rid of my ol' 2-door GTP and get something with 4 doors... I think this should do nicely. :D

I had a hell of a time finding one with the Stealth Grey exterior and black/ebony interior. Gotta love wholesale auctions! :D

[Irish]

Nice! I will be looking at getting one in the next year or so after my jeep is paid off. Let me know what you think about it!

'Raced one in the Stang, Shoulda seen the look on ther giys face when I whooped his ass....

[Crawlin]

Awesome cars. Loved driving 'em. My dad loved his right up until the shifting got to be a PITA for everyday traffic. But then that's a 50y/o guy, haha.

AWESOME car!

[lordairgtar]

Yeah....but I bet his ass doesn't hurt from the pounding the suspension on a fox would give him.:durr

[Karps TA]

Let me know how it does in winter. I'm thinking about a used one next year when my lease is up, but I can't have a car that's useless in the snow.

[Korndogg]

do they have many trucks at the auction? Im looking for one

Lots of beat up work trucks, trucks like mine are selling for high 11's ( not as good of shape though :) )

[OxmanWI]

Niiiiice!

[Waver]

great choice for a "family" car

[86GUTLASS]

:thumbsupNice car.My wife wants a CTS V bad.

Lol, what do I need with a big block... a twin-turbo LS6 should provide plenty of power. :goof Actually, I will probably leave it stock with the exception of the exhaust and headers. It needs to be somewhat reliable transportation.


thoes things are awesome..... just gotta stuff some 22s in thoes wheel wells

Um... no. I'd like it to maintain its agility. If I was going have a ghetto/pimp mobile I would've bought a Deville or Escalade and put 22/24s on it. Or, there are plenty of Ghetto'ed out cars at the auctions that already have ridiculously large rims.


I need to go to the auction with you sometime.

Yes you do! :) Actually you don't need to go on an auction day... if I find something on their website that you want we can go look at it some evening before the sale then I'll either make an online bid or go bid on your behalf. PM me if you want details.

Well, it'll be useless on those days where we get 6 to 24" of snow in one day because it's just going to get hung up unless the roads are plowed. I'm *probably* going to be getting a set of BLizzaks for the winter... but I also may just buy an old Jeep at the auction as well since I can probably get an old 97 for what it'll cost me for a set of snow tires and rims.

They have just about anything you'd see on a car lot... because that's where dealers get a good portion of their cars (they're not all local trade-ins, believe it or not ;)). Like pork said there are a LOT of beat up work trucks, some nicer ones too. I think you should buy pork's. ;) PM me if you want details about the auction though.

[TransAm12sec]

What do CTS-Vs go for these days?

[Mr. Brett]

Nice!

[ND4SPD]

What do CTS-Vs go for these days?

I paid about $23,000 for it after buyer fees, transport, etc... (it came from Kansas City, MO).

[HP ADDICT]

Very nice car! I really like those.

[turbogarrett]

Love those cars, good choice:thumbsup

[2006wrxtr]

Yeah....but I bet his ass doesn't hurt from the pounding the suspension on a fox would give him.:durr



Yeah no doubt. Just funny when you get one of those older buisness type guys who thinks there car is exremly fast because they have been driving camrys for the last 20 yrs, and now have some power.

They are great cars and look good too. If i needed a 4 door family car that would be at the top of my list.

Great Choice.:headbang
