#292 of 317 You're good by hammen2 Aug 24, 2007 (9:09 pm)
The keyword here is "Vehicle Has No Current Record Of Outstanding Campaigns". You should have no worries of defective struts. Very clean vehicle. Good luck with your purchase... Replies to this message: ehasley (Aug 25, 2007 3:06 am)

Replying to: ehasley (Aug 23, 2007 4:36 pm) Evan   Congratulations on the car. Have you picked it up yet? I am sure you will love it. I have a red 05.   Chris Replies to this message: ehasley (Aug 30, 2007 4:32 pm) elias (Sep 01, 2007 11:02 am) ehasley (Sep 03, 2007 12:41 pm) hammen2 (Sep 04, 2007 9:32 pm) monarofan (Sep 13, 2007 8:53 am) pixdad (Sep 08, 2007 11:57 am)

#296 of 317 Buying an 06 GTO Auto New by irishmike1 Aug 29, 2007 (2:05 pm)
I placed an order today for an 06 GTO Auto from a dealer in CT (I am in NY). Vin 6G2VX12UX6L517974. Should I be worried about the struts. The car comes with the 3/36 warranty. What kind of MPG should I expect. Any recomendations on the milage for the first oil change? Replies to this message: hammen2 (Sep 04, 2007 8:42 pm) irishmike1 (Sep 05, 2007 8:52 am)

Replying to: monarofan (Aug 28, 2007 4:36 pm) Yep, I picked it up last Saturday. I need to get the car inspected here in PA when I register it. There are some things that need checked out. First, it just developed yesterday, there is a whine coming from the car when in gear and accelerating. In neutral it is gone, I believe it is coming from the rear differential, I'm going to have them drain and refill it. Second the left rear of the vehicle sits lower than the right. And while going around turns there is a "clunk," so that needs checked out. I read on another forum that it could be the rear sway bar out of the bracket. Any one have any ideas? As far as the buying experience, all went smooth, until now. I feel like I'm getting the run around on it. I need the check for the taxes, title cost along with the title information so I can title and register my gto. I've tried three different people at the dealership and no one will return my phone calls.   Sorry for the long post haha Evan Replies to this message: elias (Sep 01, 2007 11:02 am) ehasley (Sep 03, 2007 12:41 pm) hammen2 (Sep 04, 2007 9:32 pm) monarofan (Sep 13, 2007 8:53 am) pixdad (Sep 08, 2007 11:57 am)

Replying to: ehasley (Aug 30, 2007 4:32 pm) Evan, you call that a long post!? pffft! it's normal for pinion gears to make *some* noise, but hey, your car is under warranty so do max out on having the dealer evaluate *anything* which concerns you including rear gear noise. left rear sits lower than right? that's gotta be fixed, obviously, unless you are a massive individual and are siting in drivers seat or left-rear of the car at the time! could they have forgotten to remove the "chock" spacer-thing from one side of rear suspension? - those were used for the car's long boat-ride and train/truck ride too, afaik.

Replying to: elias (Sep 01, 2007 11:02 am) ahhhh, I'll look for some sort of chock on the passengers side then. Thanks so much for the info. I'm anxious to see what the Pontiac dealer tells me when I take it in one Thursday.
#300 of 317 201 2006 GTO's left by hammen2 Sep 04, 2007 (8:32 pm)
GM sold 200 last month. Should be approximately 201 on lots.   192 are automatics, and only 9 manuals (7 Torrid Red, 1 Brazen Orange Metallic, 1 Quicksilver Metallic) are left. Some of these might be demos as well...

Replying to: irishmike1 (Aug 29, 2007 2:05 pm) Have any GM dealer pull the GMVIS report. Look for the section saying "Vehicle Has No Current Record Of Outstanding Campaigns" - if so, you're great.   If it has a Yxxxx code and says something about strut replacement, yet there's nothing in the "Claim History" section showing both struts replaced, you need to get that done (dealers were supposed to proactively replace struts on vehicles in inventory, that program ended 2/28/2007, but less than 50% of Pontiac dealerships ever read the bulletins/do the work.).   MPG? Depends on how heavy your right foot is. On an '04 A4 (LS1) I get 20-21 mpg in highway driving, more like 16-18 city driving (most tanks average between 18 and 20).   First oil change? I'd do one at 500 miles, if not immediately. Your car was probably filled with oil in May of 2006 - 15+ months ago. Get that stuff out (and any metal shavings/debris that might be in the engine, as well as any assembly fluids/lube) ASAP. Replies to this message: irishmike1 (Sep 05, 2007 8:52 am)
