$18,900 is the advertised price for a base '09 G8 at Ed Martin Pontiac-GMC in Indianapolis. There is an asterisk after the price that says see dealer for details.
 
I think that if the only thing that moves G8's is a low price then you better get one while you can because they're not coming back in any form. GM wants cars that sell at a big profit, that's why they kept Buick vs Pontiac. How do the 2 owners of GM feel? The UAW is no fan of the G8 because it's made in Australia not here, and the Government is no fan for that reason plus the MPG is not that great.

Mileage could have been better... other company's seem to come up with a larger car like this and have decent mileage. I do know their intent for the car, bad timing?

That is a great price, though it is not worth near that now out on the open market.
 
If you are going to keep it for many years, then buying new is a good idea.
Though, real world prices are not lined up with its MSRP, or even the sale price.
 
I bet the white looks very nice!

how about financing? Did they offer a low rate as well?

No financing through the dealer. I used my credit union and 4.49. Could have gotten 4.29 if I wanted a bigger monthly payment, 4 vs 5 year financing.
 
I love it when someone says, Great Price, then comes back and says the car isn't worth that much on the open market. It's worth that much to me, so that's what I paid and bought the EXACT car I wanted.
 
BVDJ84, do you drive a Camry?

i am about to do a similar deal but with the employee discount. Are you concerned about getting parts 3 or 4 years from now? That is the only thing holding me back. What is GM doing with Holden?

I have heard or read nothing about Holden going away. So, I don't believe replacement parts are going to be a problem.
 
I'm currently looking at the G8 GT myself and have been offered a pretty good deal, at least by normal standards. It seems there are two schools of thought, those who believe it's a bad idea to by a dying breed and those who feel this is the last chance for something great. I'm leaning more toward the latter. Whether or not this car holds significant value into the future, I'm looking at higher CAFE standards and the auto industry in general as leading to more "sensible" cars...meaning much more tame as far as performance is concerned.
 
I'm struggling over the nit-picky things, e.g., cruise control functionality, lack of Homelink, lack of fold down rear seats, lack of auto-dimming mirror, etc. Of course, I don't like spending such a large amount of money, regardless, on something I don't HAVE to have.
 
I've been offered a Black/Black leather GT with Premium Pack and Sport Pack for $29,505 out the door and I've been told (but not in writing) that I can apply my GM card to that for a final of $26,505.
 
Has anyone received anything close to this? Anyone care to comment on whether or not this is a good deal? Please give me more than a simple yes or no. I'm looking for comparisons...I'm getting this offer in Charleston, SC. Thanks!

My local dealer is offering similarly equipped cars for 26,995 plus TTL. One of the key factors is that the MSRPs have jumped more than $2k so that may affect the deal you're offered. As to the GM Card cash, you should have received a private offer that allows you to spend up to a specified amont. Mine allowed me $5k on all Pontiacs and Saturns. If you didn't get this offer, go to your GM card account under "manage my earnings" and you should be able to get the code there.

Vinny as usual you are the man and have the best GM card action! I've got the roundup to $3k offered for many GM-vehicles but will seek that $5K code you mentioned, thanks!
 
quietpro, what are you referring to about the cruise control? the cruise control on my 6-spd GTO is awesome. After 4 years of ownership, I remain hugely impressed with my 05 holden/pontiac - but annoyed that the nearest pedders-authorized-suspension-shop is hundreds of mile from here, now that my radius-rod/bushings/something-near-there is surely trashed.
 in nearby G8 news, a pal of mine just traded is 04 GTO for a white 6-spd G8-GXP, the day after GM announced the demise of Pontiac...
