On The Hunt!

[Rolla_SR]

I've been shopping around looking for a CTS for my mate... I want to find a Facelift model as they are already lowered and look alot better in my opinion... but after ringing up Mr T today they didnt have any under £8k!!!

I thought this was a bit on the pricey side as I have seen Facelift models for around 5-6k...

... Was just wondering how much have you guys paid for your CTSs and what year are they?

Thanks,

Miles

I tend to just fill up £20 at a time, which usually allows me between 120-150 miles, dependant on how I drive. haha. The Mrs drives it more than I do these days, takes it to work every day.

Trip computer says I'm getting 31.1Mpg. A full tank (55Litres) Will get me from my house to Southampton and leave me with just over quarter left, it's roughly 230 Miles... lol. Tend to drive around 80-90 mark:cough:

Have a look on here CTS up 8k there is even a Compressor for £7450!

[jd26]

woah that compressor is cheap! :o and near me :o im so tempted...... only i heard theyre not much quicker than the NA rolla ts? but probly use more juice?

not sure how good a step up from me yaris ... hmmmm

[-T- Sport]

Quite a step methinks!

The TS stays with the TSC until around high 80's, low 90s then the extra torque from the S/C gives the TSC a fair bit of an advantage.

from what ive read on the forum, the fuel consumption bit on the radio was removed due to its less than impressive fuel consumption? +- 16-20mpg?

Sorry whats an A'PEXi??? not heard that one before :P

Trust me when I say I would if I could, but the fact I have this car on finance its doesn't really permit me to do so for at least another 5-6 months

no i contacted tte bout this, the reason that was removed is cos it can't cope with the impact the SC makes on it

to be fair mate i can't quite see that bein true, seen as the extra power before lift an the lowered lift point, but you know me i'm always willing to test this!!! lol

Let me get some lighter wheels put back on and I'll have a go. LOL...
