i just bought a CTS actually.

and its the 3.2 liter version and its 5 speed manual (ehich is an anomily).

If you buy a first gen CTS i would reccomend 3 things.

1. do not buy a base model... make sure you buy the model that has the HIDs called the sport/luxury model (feel free to pm me of any links of cars you are looking to buy, i can tell you what all they come with)

2. replace the Crank angle Sensor if its not already been replaced (should be 130-150 with labor). They tend to go out and will cause the car NOT to start.

3. If its a 3.2 liter make sure they did the timing/idle software update or the motor will have a terribly rough idle.

I love my CTS, i test drove a half dozen different CTS and STS and chose the CTS (even being a bigger guy) because the car handles in a much sportier fashion.


PM me with any that you are considering purchasing and i will tell you what model it is.
