Highway miles on a CTS-V

>>14718572
Forgot to include it's a 2005 model. Also it has the 5.7.

Usually highway miles are better

most people say its all high way miles even if it isnt. so take it with a grain of salt and you got to realize highway miles or not, maintenance or not, its a highly strung sports car engine with 230k+ miles. be ready to pay out the ass on repairs or a new engine not long from when start driving it if you buy it

Apparently he has proof of it being all highway miles. I can put the craigslist add in a comment if you want but I agree. I'm just looking for something to have for another 2 or 3 years until I get my raise to be able to buy a proper new luxury car. Thanks for the words of advice anon!

If the service records check out then I'd buy it. Assuming it passed a thorough test drive.

If you're just a poorfag looking for a cheap cts-v you're in for some trouble. It's an expensive performance car which has expensive wear items.

I have enough money to maintain a car like this, and I have experience working on LS motors but all i'm concerned about is dat entire engine having plastic covers on it. I assume they're removable but yeah. the LS6 motors seem pretty reliable especially because he has all the records for it and the usual wear items (in particular the OEM shifter bushings, which he replaced with CS ones)

thanks for the advice, man. Will be going to test drive it within the next week, the first time that I went to look at it I was in a bit of a rush and didn't get a chance to.

Then go for it

Man didn't you even research this car? Get an 06 or 07 with an ls2 and a non shitty rear end. Early cts v come with an ls6 and a rear end that is prone to breaking and wheel hop under heavy acceleration

>230k miles on a 2005 CTS-V

>>14719035
oh sick, another one of these ...

>>14718909
hmm, I figured the rear differential cradle mount bushing would remedy that since he's had it upgraded from a later model suspension

If it's 'all highway miles' then it didn't get time to warm up before being hammered.

You're being lied to.

I saw 230,000 which is high but then again not bad.

then i remembered i think in KM's

>391,000 kilometers jesus christ

Here's a link to someone who has 650,000 miles on a C5 Corvette (CTS-V will have similar type of engine and transmission)

I'm sure if the CTS-V is all highway mileage and taken care of then why can't it hit similar figures?

this would be one of the most foolish decisions you could ever make in your entire life. There are plenty of other performance oriented sedans you could buy for 12k that would be better on your wallet - and you wouldn't have to completely rebuild.

Try the Acura TL or the Infiniti G35

"highway miles" is a gimmick dealers and sellers use to get you to buy high mileage cars. Don't fall for it.

Stop trying to justify this purchase - it isn't even remotely worth it.
