Hey all. New to the forums, but hoping to soon be an official owner of a CTS-V, however, just had a few questions to help me make my mind.
Long story short, been shopping around for a new vehicle to purchase and preferably 2019+. Have looked at the M8, C8 Z51, M4, C63S, and a few others, however was not fully pleased with missing options for the price tag they're asking for. Recently saw a 2016 CTS-V Carbon Fiber package get listed locally, love the look of it, the price doesn't seem too unfair for what's offered and have always been a fan of the V. However, there are a few things that led me to want to hear the opinions of the V community on whether or not this would be a good purchase.
Details follow -
2016 CTS-V, 42,000 miles, 6.2L v8 RWD LT4 Supercharged motor, recaro seats, panoramic roof, carbon fiber package, $66K price tag (compared to $90K+ on other vehicles I have been looking at)
My issues are -
Mileage seem pretty high and I don't really want to go through any transmission problems which I've heard is common (if anyone could also lead me to a more detailed thread/article about the '16 transmission issues that'd be super helpful)
I was also looking for a minimum 2019+ year, however, I wonder what/if there are any major differences between the 2016 and 18/19 V models that make getting a newer model a much better purchase?
The V honestly looks amazing - and I would be saving more money purchasing this car than any other newer model car that I have been shopping for. I wonder if the 2016 will bring me headaches/a ton of money into maintenance down the road, especially buying when it has 42K miles already making it not worth the purchase and to continue my shopping search?
I appreciate any sort of advice.
Realized I had posted this in the wrong section and my other thread that's in the right section is awaiting approval or something. Sorry for messing up the threads, hopefully a moderator can fix this for me
