Yes, what a cruel disaster all those people buying cars. Disasterous I tell you, disasterous.
 
I hear it also kills old people and will take our guns away.

I wasn't originally in the market for a Pontiac, instead, I was intending to purchase a Toyota Yaris Sedan with a full TRD package. It was going to be a custom order.
 
Due to issues with the salesman being well, for lack of a better word, an ass, we went to the GM dealership where I was looking at a G5.
 
The salesman obviously knew I wanted something 'shiny' So he pointed out the 2008 G6 GXP Street Edition.. In white. I'm not a fan of white, but after test driving it, I was scared to look at the sticker price. It was 32k.
 
The dealership was running a promo on it, (Since it was a new 2008, and we were in 2009 already) After working out a deal, a rebate and a 4k trade in on my 05 ford focus, we got it down to 17.9K. That included the sales tax (5% in Wyoming). It was a Deal.
 
Driving it through town in the big ol metropolis of Casper, WY, we got turns and stares right and left. This car was indeed a fancy bit of steel and muscle. The 'don't mess with me or I will eat the road under you' front to the 'I can Iron my muscles on this hammerhead' spoiler, trimmed and decked in chrome, leather seats, sun and sound package. It was any man's ego waiting to be driven... By me. A woman. My husband is still jealous, since two days before we bought him a slightly used Impala LTX.
 
I drove back to my itty bitty small town, and I've noticed since then, that most of the younger generation (16 to 25) keeps asking me where I found the car, because they have never seen a G6 with the full street edition package, let alone in a sedan. Yes, this baby is a sedan.
 
Someone told me that they didn't make a whole mass of them for release in 2008. Let alone with the sun and sound package. Frankly, I am enjoying the monsoon speaker system and 6 disc changer.
 
I feel I got a great price, more so since I researched from the pontiac website in customizing, and it was right around the same price the sticker was for at the 32k.
 
Going from a yellow Ford Focus ZX3 manual tranny to this, I'm quite impressed, even though I said I would never drive another automatic tranny ever again. The VVT is easy to handle, though I do laugh at the fact it auto downshifts for you. My husband calls it the 'Woman's Stick Shift' I call it the 'Lazy Man's Stick Shift'
 
Now if people would just stop asking me if I put a molding kit on it..

Great Job! That is how you work a deal! That is exciting, because this is basically where the car should be priced right now. Considering the brand is dead, and the values of most GM cars a pretty low now!

Search the G6 thread at Edmunds and other sites before buying one. If you can get a screamin' deal, OK. Otherwise, let's just say there are better choices out there. (p.s.- avoid the 4cyl.)
