#131 of 138 GM special event vehicle by jacka1 Aug 10, 2009 (4:50 pm)
What is a "GM special event vehicle." Is there any reason I should avoid buying one?   A dealer has a G8 GT that's a GM special event vehicle for sale.   Thanks. Replies to this message: vinnyny (Aug 19, 2009 10:06 pm) jacka1 (Aug 22, 2009 12:09 pm) vinnyny (Aug 22, 2009 4:59 pm)

Replying to: jacka1 (Aug 10, 2009 4:50 pm) "GM special event vehicle" usually means that the vehicle was used by a VIP at a golf tournament, race, or some other event. The cars usually have a few hundred miles and have never been titled. Replies to this message: jacka1 (Aug 22, 2009 12:09 pm) vinnyny (Aug 22, 2009 4:59 pm)

Replying to: jacka1 (Aug 22, 2009 12:09 pm) They're generally very good deals for people lucky enough to find them. I hope you did well.
#135 of 138 Future resale values by don_nc Aug 27, 2009 (5:31 am)
Now that the latest status of the G8 is that it's not going to live on in a Chevy form, what do ya'll think the resale value of the G8's will be in 2 to 3 years ? At just under $30k, it's a little more than I care to spend on a car so I'm hoping it'll depreciate like (or faster) than typical GM cars do.   Thanks Replies to this message: whoosierdaddy (Aug 27, 2009 1:20 pm)

Replying to: don_nc (Aug 27, 2009 5:31 am) If the Pontiac GTO (also made by Holden) is any indication, the G8 will hold its value very well. My concern is maybe parts that are proprietary to this car (which is most of 'em) will be expensive and have a long delivery. With all the rebates and deals you can find a new G8 for well under $30K, especially the V6.
#137 of 138 depreciation on GT by rk2469 Sep 09, 2009 (6:20 am)
I am about 3 day waiting period from signing the paper. The car is stunning and I love it.   Question: G8 GT Depreciation Rate on edmunds.com in 5 years: 77% ($29,893 -> $6,893)   This is compared to Genesis v6 : 63.4% ($35,456 -> $12,958) Dodge Challenger RT: 62.2%( $33,333 -> $12,590) Maxima: 65% ($32,446 -> $11,389)   However on other sites do not have this car depreciating this much. on Site A: 58% Site B:57% Site C: 46% Site D: 59%   How did edmunds.com calculate G8's deprecation rate and why are there such differences.   btw: I love Edmunds.com.... I am just asking question to those who are the "insider" of Edmunds.com or those who are familiar with depreciation schedule.   Given these variables, is G8 a good/great buy?
