CTS-V?

I had the chance to buy a first gen V with 30k miles for $20k. I didn't do it because I was worried about maintenance. I think about how dumb I was for passing up an LS/6 rocket which in all honesty is really kind of indistinguishable from your regular mid size family sedans. And on the other hand, I'd have kicked myself at the first insurance bill. And again at the first repair...
