For sure I test drove the heck out of a 15' yesterday with only 23,000 miles. Only wanted 17k for it. Seemed like a good car. I'm just trying to weed out the lemons and increase my chances of getting one that lasts. Also eyeing CTS's now since they are going for around the same. But I like something a little smaller.

I'll look at some XTS's. FWD won't be bad for winter.

I finally settled on an 08 G8 GT... It wasn't a manual transmission like the GXP or SS i wanted, but the cost was justifiable. I paid 16,650 private party for my first G8 GT about 3 years ago with 72k miles on it. I sold it a month ago for 14k with just under 100k miles on it. Paid the loan off on the car, and had about 8k left in my pocket. I just picked up another 08 G8 GT last week for $6500 w/ 132k on it, but only 30k on a brand new engine. drives like a dream, its a total cream puff too

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is if you like the SS, consider a G8 GT, you can get one of the lower mileage ones for your price range, buddy of mine just paid 18k for a 09 with 60k miles on it. With the money you'll save on the G8 GT vs the GXP or SS, you can spend some cash on mods and make it just as fast, or faster if you're into that kind of thing. That's how I was able to justify it lol
I didn't like the G8's as much as the SS. The SS just felt more refined to me. Especially the interior. But everybody thinks the G8 and the SS are the exact same thing, so they will hold value just as well.
