Wink Just bought 2006 CTS

Our 2003 STS was totalled by an F-150 and we just got a 2006 CTS with a 2.8, auto, 35,000.
The car is very clean, was a one owner lease and has new tires installed by the dealer.
Was glad the old STs was totalled since it was eating us alive with oil - 1 quart every 250 miles!
I hope this one serves us better!

Belive it or not, the F-150 backed into us at a red light, albeit pretty hard. We were all fine physically, but surprised the guy did this.
His truck had almost no damage but out caddy had a creased hood, fenders and grill, broken headlights, smashed bumper, broken radiator, a/c condenser and other related damage.
It looked like I rammed him, but it was the other way around!
At least we got the use of a rental for about a month!

I bet the driver of the F-150 was as surprised as you. yep, the metal on them F-150s dont yield easily.

in our FAQ section, read WOP thread .. that should help you keep your CTS engine from developing sticky piston rings.
