I mentioned before that we were thinking of buying a new K5 or Stinger.
We ended up stopping at the dealer yesterday. They only had one K5 with the 2.5T on the floor and they moved it outside for us to test.
It rode very well and that new 2.5T has some punch! Definitely quicker than the 2.0T in our SXL. It was black, which we're not huge fans, but looked good with what we called the Star Wars Empire wheels.
I can't believe how rare these 2.5T K5's currently are. There was only one other dealer I could find that had a red one. The rest were 1.6T's
The dealer had six Stingers on the lot, two 2.5T's and four 3.3T's (two 21's and two 22's). The two '22 3.3T's were sold from checking the day before! We test drove a white '21 3.3T with black leather and my wife ended up choosing the 2021 GT2, ceramic silver and red interior.
The test drive was fun. These things grab and pull you. My wife looked like a kid in a candy store. The red interior with the ceramic silver exterior is an awesome match. We just love the color. It seems to accent the Brembo's poking through the wheels too. It's going to be a nice little hot rod commuter.
The sales experience was so-so. The salesperson told us that all vehicles are selling over sticker due to chip shortages. I could hear the guy next to us buying a Telluride for $5K over sticker. Huh? Not us! Long story short, my wife gave them a number and we bought for $7K under sticker. She's Awesome!
We take delivery on Tuesday and I know I'll probably post up for oil recommendations. Can't wait.
