    Buying a pre-owned high MSRP 2024 CT5VBW or a new 2025 model?

    I’ve owned a ‘22 and now own a ‘24 (there was no ‘21), have been on this forum all that time, and have had no LT4 engine issues or problems, nor read anything on here to suspect that there are any. Some have blown, yes, but it’s never been established that it’s an unusually high number, nor that...

    Buying a pre-owned high MSRP 2024 CT5VBW or a new 2025 model?

    Provided it’s been priced correctly, you will also likely avoid its first year of depreciation, usually the worst year for that, as well as any increase in price due to inflation.

    CT5-V Leather Seat Bolsters Looking Worn but Brand New

    About a year later and mine look the same as when I got them so I'm fine with the creases, just the natural beauty of leather.

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    If they could add a volume control to the other controls that are already in the touchscreen, that would help.

    CT5-V Manual 25 Blackwing no blindspot monitoring. Why

    If they care about their front seat passenger (i.e., their spouse) they’ll care about the lack of a real volume control (i.e., besides the steering wheel). Heck, I’m usually in the car alone and mostly prefer the dial over the steering wheel control even then. There’s also the matter of which...

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    During the pandemic I got three warnings while tooling around southern Ontario without a front plate on the Mustang Bullitt I owned at the time. Eventually mounted it with Sto-N-Sho hardware to put a stop to that. Since getting my ‘24 BW a year ago I haven’t been bothered by the cops about it...

    CT5-V CT5-BW without goat rodeo?

    They usually order autos, too. Then the car sits on their lot while they reduce the price every two months and they wonder why no one is buying it. Most GM dealerships probably sell something like a hundred pickup trucks and SUVs of various sizes for every Blackwing they sell, so their sales...

    CT5-V CT5-BW without goat rodeo?

    AI is answering the wrong question. (Also, Google AI isn't actually intelligent and it doesn't know f**k.) I said: "The fact is they generally don’t pay for themselves." Meaning if you pay $1,000 extra for a sunroof, don't expect to get it back. At best, I think what you'll get is an equivalent...

    CT5-V CT5-BW without goat rodeo?

    Not pulling anything out of my ass. 1. Summers in Toronto are pretty hot but still more pleasant than the sultry, oppressive heat of southern US summers, when I think you are likely to pull the blinds on a sunroof on most days to keep the scorching sun from burning your lap. And most buyers up...

    CT5-V CT5-BW without goat rodeo?

    I’m on my second Blackwing. The first one had a sunroof, the second one, which otherwise is more heavily optioned, does not. 1. From the inside, I always thought the two porthole sunroof looked kind of weird. It is absolutely NOT a panoramic sunroof, which might be worth having. But it’s not. 2...

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    Traded in, just wanted an upgrade that would mostly pay for itself because in Canada lightly used CT5 BWs appreciated for a while longer than they did in the US. (Remember those days, guys, when folks were asking for and getting more than MSRP for them? They lasted a while longer in Canada, in...

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    Also, kept myself on the lists with a couple of dealerships even though I had a ‘22 because I was intrigued by the ‘25 update, even passed on one of the allocations I mentioned because it was for a ‘24. But as I saw more and more photos of the front of the soon to be coming ‘25s I thought, no...

    First one was pretty basic: standard seats, black. Also was able to trade it in for more than I bought it for. They hold their value a bit better up here. Maybe now more than ever, unfortunately for those who haven’t got one yet.

    Wow. Such hostility. I’m trying to help Canadians buy a great American car and you attack me. WTF?

    Myth busting for the sake of fellow Canucks who want get one because this is the second post here that incorrectly suggested this. Personal experience: I’m on my second Blackwing now, first owned a ‘22 which I got after waiting about six months during all that supply chain craziness, and now own...
