Default Been Gone A While

He all just checking back in, haven't been on in a while as I really haven't done any new work on my car to share. been in a little slump about it pondering selling. not really sure. just really haven't used it much. been itching to get a CTS Cadillac but just not sure yet. thought that would entice be to drive more. think if I could get $6,500 I might let it go. definitely have way more then that in it but that's how cars go. thoughts?

I think you have a great car and I think overall the CTS will not match the performance or road holding of the C4. You may like the Cadillac at first but after some time you may regret selling your C4. I know I did when I sold my 94 6spd. I was sick thinking about it and ended up settling on a decent 86 4+3 two years later. It's not my 94 and I still miss that car to this day but I drive the 86 a lot. I never should have gotten rid of the 94. I felt the same way when I sold my first Corvette, an 84 4+3. It took me 11 years to be able to buy it back and I'll never let it go again.

Your looks sharp, and if runs with no problem, keep it, you'll still have lot more fun to come driving the car!

Traded my 13GS on a 11CTSV coup to get something different. The *** never grew on me, I did boltons to 550rwhp. It was a nice car but had no personality? Sold it, now the 94 ZR-1 replaced it. It's definitely is a fun car to drive vs the V!

My brother has a 2012 CTS Coupe performance edition. With upgraded brakes. The car has that upgraded suspension, forget what it's called. Formula 1 inspired. He road tracks it on occasion. It's a tuned 6cyl that has more hp. (heavier though) but he does very well. This pic is from him running at Sebring. It's an awesome car.

If you ever decided to sell it at $6,500 I'd be heading for Deptford in a hurry
