Don’t get an XTS…Thats the car for Livery/Limousine drivers…
The CTS is a nice car with bang for your buck… That deal on the table is horrible. Is it on the dealers lot?
The XTS is absolutely a rip off and if anyone pays that I thank them for the future deal I get because of their stupidity.
Ask them for the Residual and Money Factor, any rebates and what the final selling price is not just the sticker MSRP.
It sounds like you are getting 0 discount on the CTS and on the XTS they are asking you to pay above sticker price… unless the residual is 40% and you are getting 0 discount
To Sum it up. No to both. The XTS is a crime. the CTS looks like they are trying to get you into it for full price
This is not true. If you must have a Cadillac looks like a pretty okay deal. Cadillac’s don’t lease well. If you aren’t tied to Cadillac, I’d look at Mercedes E class or Volvo S90 (if you have APLAN)
@nyclife is right. There’s only $2,880 in rebates right now on the CTS (another $1k for loyalty) and the dealer would have to go pretty far under invoice with that drive off. I second that Benz and Volvo suggestion. Better numbers.
Both brokers are telling the truth. Cadillacs don’t lease well. There is a reason why midsize luxury sedan posts tend to be E-Class and S90. The last time there was a good Cadillac deal on here? crickets He asked for advice and people gave it to him. And the residual values on those Cadillacs? 44% on the XTS and 53 or 55% on the CTS. So yeah you probably shouldn’t just make up some stuff and then slam the fact that there are proven deals on BMW/MB while there is just about nothing for Cadillac
Ok i think that is the advice. You cannot get a good deal with cadillacs usually. Same with Audi or Porche. Now 1 or two months something comes along where you get below 1 percent for those brands but never .5 of msrp type of deals. So of you want best bang for the buck look at something else.
