Default Adding a Cadillac to the stable

Picking up a 2011 CTS4 Premium on Friday. I know I'm going to regret the color choice when it comes to cleaning, it but I just can't help myself, it's what else but ice black metallic. Here comes the chrome...

That one looks like the base model, the one we're getting is the premium model, it has fog lights, different rims and a few extras, but close enough.

Congrats Tony!

Just sayin.

We picked it up yesterday, I'll take some pictures later. Love the car, nice smooth Cadi ride. Now here's my problem, as I stated before this car is suppose to replace my 08 300C AWD when I turn it in at the end of February. After picking up the CTS yesterday, my wife drove it home and I took the 300C to the car wash, as it was coming out of the wash I noticed a couple of guys checking it out and I to was checking it out and admiring it when I realized I don't want to give the car up. The sound of the Hemi and the look of the car I just love it.

Well now I'm thinking of buying it off lease and selling my daily driver an 07 Santa Fe SE AWD which I just got nice chrome rimes for. The buy out with tax is $25,000 I have 43,500 mi. on the car, all the maintenance was done according to the manual and never gave me trouble. If I can get Chrysler to give me an extended warranty I just may go for it. I checked the retail value on the car and it's right there.
I never thought I would buy a car at the end of a lease but I love this car. What do you guys think?

Tony, I think you're dead on with buying the 300C. After all, you know where it's been; you know it's been cared for properly; and you already love the car. I didn't want to say it above - cause it's just not cool to knock someone's new ride - but I think the 300C is a helluva car - better than a CTS any day!

Plus, you'd be driving in style - every day - rather than having people look at you funny driving a Sante Fe.

Said from the man that has a purple Mini in his stable.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That's right, I'm sure you would get less funny looks if you were driving a Santa Fe. Plus my Santa Fe is no ordinary Santa Fe, you know I had to add the Crispy touch.







Windows are blacked out and every piece of chrome including the interior I added. I actually replaced the rims in the picture with these.

I have to give it to you, when it comes to a clown to be driving a car a purple Mini is perfect.

OUCH!

Man, you guys are tough.



But I have to tell you, the MINI is all about driving, not looks (obviously). Once you drive a modded MINI Cooper S, you'll wonder why you've been driving other cars your whole life.

I'm pretty sure you won't get that feeling from driving a Santa Fe.

But... my recommendation stands: sell the Sante Fe and buy the 300C. That 300C is a sweet ride.

XLRs are nice. My uncle has an '06, but not the "V" model (I'm not sure which year they started the V model).
