New Guy From SC with 2025 CT5-V Series (Non-BW)

[ResidentAlien]

New Member here from South Carolina. Not new to Cadillac. Or CT5s. Had a Red 2020 CT5-V Series with 12,300 on it, traded it for a new Drift Metallic 2025 CT5-V Series. It's actually the wife's car. She just HAD to have a Drift color CT5-V. Options were Tech package, sunroof, all-weather interior mats (no trunk mat) and perf leather seats with the cooling fans.

Put a deposit on it mid-June while the car was in 4200 status. Picked it up at Vaden Chevy/Cadillac July 3. Used the legacy GM employee discount and got $2K in incentives, and they offered within $100 of what I was ready to negotiate on trade-in value. Was in transit until it landed on the 2nd. Strange they got some 2026s in before this 2025 showed up. WTF?

Interestingly, the LPO all-weather floor mats are still in the trunk, and they didn't bother taking out the carpeted mats.

Anyway, here it is. That Supercruise is going to take some getting used to.

Nice color. Re Supercruise. Nothing can go wrong. Nothing can go wrong. Noteing can go wrang.

Congrats on the new V. Drift is the best color available in 2025-26.

The only consistency in GM logistics is its inconsistency. The dealership that I bought from gets lots of CT5-V and Blackwings. With a high degree of confidence they said I would be waiting 2-3 months from start of production to get the car. Took a little over a month instead. No matter how long it takes, the car is worth the wait.
