Should I buy a new one?

Congratulations!! Good job and post some pics in the sun with that awesome color!

Love the BDT exterior over the tan/black interior….great deal on a fully loaded 2024 model which makes more sense and looks better to me than the upcoming 2025 model.

Way to go @5VBW Nick, that is a very special rig you have there. It's a good lesson in being actively patient: Keep seeking the open door vs kicking in the closed one.

Thank you. I think the answer to the title of this thread is no, if you have a good version of this car that you are happy with, then stick with it. I think the main reason I sold mine, was that it was not treated anything like the way I will be treating my new one. There is a reason I am still here months after selling it, because I did like it quite a bit, but it had too many little issues and way too many rock chips on it. I think I would like this to become a very permanent fixture in my garage and that it will remain a special car for a long time. Here's hoping I can stay out of the blown motor registry

Nick and I are near twins on this one. Identical cars from the same dealer, but his does have the carbon brakes and mine does not. I chased this color since it was announced and realized the dream a few weeks ago. I tried to order through Blackwing King. He told me he never saw a CT5-V Blackwing in the limited production Black Diamond Tricoat sold through Sewell. Got lucky to find both cars available at Pepe.

Nick, just to keep it fresh in your mind

It is a very lively black. I snapped the photos trying to capture as much flake as I could in direct sunlight. The second photo shows it as I commonly see it. You get a lot of graphite appearance with sunlight, and darker in other areas. I'm over the moon with it, but color is such a personal thing. For my tastes, it is perfect.

Both of these cars have been 20 minutes from you for 7 months. I would say you snooze you lose, but I think you must have been hibernating to miss out!

I need to get off this forum or I'm going to order a new '25.

You are all bad influences.

I'm still pissed I missed out on these anniversary cufflinks!!

Glad I’m not the only one. Big mistake. I waited to long too.
