Re: Adding a Cadillac to the stable
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.

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.

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.
