This thread both concerns me and makes me feel better since it's not just my car. My 5 arrived the day after I had Achilles Tendon surgery on 11/3 (my luck), so I've never driven it myself. I picked it up about 4 hours away the following week with the help of two friends who drove it back...

After 27!!!! months of waiting, I picked up a 5 manual from Moore this past Saturday. Karen was my salesperson and she was lovely. MSRP, although doc fees were $899(gulp), but I didn't bother pushing it. No other shenanigans. From the time the order was accepted to delivery was about two...

I'm pretty sure you have your toe in and out reversed. Toe-in increases self centering and straight line stability, at the expense of turn in. Toe-out increases agility/ turn in, but makes it more difficult to go straight, especially as speeds increase. Almost all street cars are set with...

Gold Coast wouldn't give me the time of day on a custom order of a 5 at MSRP.

Amen

The CF seatback delete option is gone from the configurator, but your dealer can option it when they order. Mine just did that a few days ago.

This has been exactly my experience. Really sucks.

Hey, thanks for the lead, man. I'll try to pm you for a name down there.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Imagine the service I'd get when I actually need something from them.

From this forum, I found Andy Reyes at Brogan Cadillac in Totowa, NJ and Ryan Hills at Gold Coast in Oakhurst, NJ. I visited Brogan and Andy let me take a manual out for a quick spin. I managed to stall it, ahem, twice. But after that, what a freaking car! I want one so bad, but I want to custom...

If I ever get it you can't borrow it, but you're welcome to take it for a spin.

Thank you, @Speed Racer 007 !!!

I just got off the phone with Howie. Can I just say how great this guy is (so far). Real car guy. I'll be putting an order in with him. Thank you for the reference, @ukcats12 .

@Carguyshu , thanks a lot for the comparison. This was very insightful.

I just went for a walk in the neighborhood imagining myself in both cars driving around. Every time I thought I knew the answer, I started thinking, "yeah, but..." @Exia, you make a good point of wagons coming back vs. manuals dying forever. I may reach out to one more tri-state Cadillac...

Thank you, will give him a shot!

Maybe that was my mistake. I went with one near DC and one in Michigan. Who's your dealer? MSRP?

Hey all, I've had quite the new car quest these last few years as I approached and then surpassed 50 yrs old and my mid life crisis. First, I decided on an AMG E63S wagon, but the model year was canceled due to the world. Then two years ago this August, I decided to get a 5 Blackwing instead...

Is it wrong to wish bad things upon them?
