sonjaab Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well folks i feared the end of the DTS and figured my next new Caddy would of been a Escalade because I didn't wanna be stuck in a "tiny" CTS or a new xts or whatever alphabet soup name the new Caddy was gonna be! My 07 DTS had 62k troublefree miles So I went shopping for a new DTS while I was in Daytona. I must say pickins were pretty slim as far as colors as only a few tan, silver or white were left. I wanted black or crimson pearl (red). No dice! Even with my GM employee deal they were all Lux 3 with all the toys for almost $60k msrp and the GM deal was around $45k. So I checked out the used 2011s they had at Lloyd Caddy in Daytona. Lux 3s with ALL the goods $32k ! What a deal............. I got a 11 Lux3 Crimson pearl, tan guts, all the goods and only 15k miles for $32k. They gave me $15k for my 07 DTS. Yea the 2011 is a ex-rental but there wasn't a scratch on it. Sorry no pics yet as the car is in Daytona and I'm back in NY ! 93 DeVille-13 Chevy Impala 72 GTO - 77 Triumph Bonneville 84 Z-28 Syracuse NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shatzy Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Congrtulations. Last of the "Big Ones"! I have the 2007, Black, top of the line, (whatever model that is) and I love it. However, the ride can't compare to my wife's 2000 DeVille, running Goodyear's. I think a lot of comfort was lost when I had the dealer install Michellin tires on the 2007; noisy and harsh ride.

Steve M. Steve M. Correction: I goofed - - again! Too many cars, too many years under my belt. The tires on the 2000 DeVille are Michelin 225X16 Symmetry and they ride smooth and quiet. The Michelin's on the 2007 DTS are a different series, and I'm not happy with them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott y Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Last of the "Big Ones" eh? We'll see, how many times have we heard "Last of the xxx???" over the years. The more things change,the more they stay the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more things change,the more they stay the same... Hey Scott F., Make sure you're seated, and look at today's gasoline prices. I'm pretty comfortable with my prediction that we won't see many of the "Big Ones" coming off the assembly line any time soon. Have you had a chance to view the new Fiat, 2 seater that's been shown on TV? Steve M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott y Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 You're right on there, however demand will always rise to the top. Think of the cars of the 80's..large and extremely power starved,the 90's power returns with style and size,the 2000's and so on. The Big 3 will always find a means for demand.

sonjaab Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks guys..........Sadly the car is in Daytona with sarge whilst I freeze to death and take care of business in NY so no pics yet. My local Caddy dealer has a new DTS lux 1 for $39k. They only offered me $9k trade for my 07 on a GM employee deal on a new DTS so the $15 I got suprised me. But yet again I was buying used for used and I know the dealer has a LOT of room to juggle the numbers. I looked at the new one but it was that fugly tan color and I wanted black or Crimson Pearl this time as my 07 was white. 93 DeVille-13 Chevy Impala 72 GTO - 77 Triumph Bonneville 84 Z-28 Syracuse NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
