I have a 2024 CT5-V Blackwing 6MT (white). I customer ordered it in 2023 and waited 6 months to get it. When I ordered it, the carbon packages were on constraint so I wasn't allowed to order them. But I did splurge on the tan semi-aniline seats (CF delete). I now have almost 18k miles on the car. It's been a blast. But I find myself wishing a) it had CF1 and CF2, and b) it was a darker color (never had white car before this one).
I recently placed an order for 2026 Argent Silver 6MT with white semi-aniline seats, CF1 + CF2. But I kinda doubt it will get built. Does anybody know how long production will run?
In the mean time, I have a chance to grab a 2026 that's also a 6MT, it has CF1 + CF2, and it's Deep Space Metallic. Even has gold wheels! But, it has the mid-grade, diamond stitch seats (black). Kind of a bummer, but not a bad spec considering I didn't order it.
Now I'm sitting here wondering... is this worth the "upgrade?" My 2024 was $107k and has a trade value of $87k (not bad!). But now I'd be going to a $125k car. Just not sure it's worth it, especially if they drop a new Blackwing next year??? Will this one hold it's value as well as my 2024 did??
