After considering multiple different cars, I decided I want a 2009+ CTS AWD with less than 45k miles. I test drove one recently and I was very pleased. That one had a 3.0 and now I know I need a 3.6.
I am searching on Autotrader.com in the Chicagoland area but it seems like at least 90% of them have a 3.0 and most of the ones with a 3.6 in my price range are sold by Chevrolet dealers or other non-GM brand dealers.
I have limited experience with used car purshasing because I always used to buy new cars and my current Acura was my first used car purchase and it was a certified pre-owned at a Acura dealer. Not many Cadillac dealers label their cars as "CPO" and if they do, it seems like they cost thousands more and I am not sure if the premium cost of CPO is worth the money. I would be more comfortable buying a CTS from a Chevy dealer than a VW or Hyundai dealer.
Anyone that bought their CTS at a non-GM dealer, what is your experience with the car?
Would it be worth purchasing the extended warranty if I go with non-CPO?
Thanks for all the help in advance. :)
