#24 of 138 Re: G8 Extended Warranty??? [bvdj84] by harddrivet Jan 05, 2009 (9:33 am)
Replying to: bvdj84 (Jan 05, 2009 8:46 am) Thats a good question, however I honestly would not be able to answer that question. 5 years??   I would hope I would keep it 5 years, but would need to drive it for a few months to answer that.

Replying to: harddrivet (Jan 05, 2009 8:38 am) A factory warranty is worthwhile if they offer it and you expect the factory to be in business that many years. Unfortunately, I suspect you will be offered a third party warranty, and those have a history of carefully crafted exclusions and outright fraud. Buyer beware. I'd spend a lot of time Googling before I'd sign. Replies to this message: harddrivet (Jan 05, 2009 12:15 pm) omegagen (Jan 05, 2009 6:33 pm)

Replying to: pafromfl (Jan 05, 2009 11:53 am) I have no doubt that GM and Pontiac will continue to be in business for at least a few more decades.   However I am not sure if I will keep the car long enough, I tend to get the itch for new cars every 4 years.

Replying to: harddrivet (Jan 05, 2009 12:15 pm) GM will probably be around, but Pontiac will be toast just like Oldsmobile if their current troubles continue. Pontiac hasn't been a big selling division in a long time. If it ain't sellin' it must go...pure economics.   If it wasn't for their troubles and the probable demise of Pontiac (IMHO) I too would trade my '05 BMW 330i w/ ZHP performance pkg. Oh well!
#28 of 138 I just heard on Fox news this morning by harddrivet Jan 06, 2009 (10:19 am)
Toyota Sales are down 41%   So, I guess by some Totota must be going out of business now...LOL   PS: Pontiac is and will be fine. Replies to this message: omegagen (Jan 07, 2009 5:08 am) harddrivet (Jan 07, 2009 8:58 am)

Replying to: pafromfl (Dec 24, 2008 10:11 pm) I'm assuming those offers were after your trade-in? What were the offers without the trade, if you don't mind? Replies to this message: pafromfl (Jan 06, 2009 10:00 pm)

Replying to: dhamp (Jan 06, 2009 12:29 pm) I didn't pursue a cash deal because there is no room in my garage for another car. I did figure that $20,440 would be a great trade-in value for my BMW considering the tires would need to be replaced (Continental tires sound like snow tires after about 15,000 miles). Most dealers whipped out the old black book and tried to offer more like $16,000. I don't think I got a great deal, but probably did as well as you can in the Melbourne, FL area at year end. Incidentally, I'm extremely pleased with my G8 and try to find excuses to drive it around. After I install a Roto-Fab cold air intake and Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system, I'll be ecstatic.

Replying to: harddrivet (Jan 06, 2009 10:19 am) You're comparing apples to oranges! Toyota is not running around with hat in hand begging for money. In the current conditions every car manufacturer's sales are down, but what makes GM different that they have been operating on a slim margin before the recession.   Pontiac is a division of GM like Lexus is to Toyota. So to compare Toyota to Pontiac is WAAAAAY off basis...think about it! GM is struggling and something must and will go...I think it's Pontiac...I could be wrong...I hope so...I am American.   I guess if you own a G8 my comments may "ruffle your feathers", I too would be the same way. I hope Pontiac stays because I LIKE the G8, that's what led me to this forum. Good luck, but for me I'll keep my BMW until the market decides whether or not GM survives or not.

Replying to: omegagen (Jan 07, 2009 5:08 am) Ha Ha my feathers are not ruffled. I hope Pontiac stays also, I really think they will because I have actually been in the dealerships and seen people buying cars, in fact I hope all car companies stay in business so we always have options to choose from and it creates that competitive nature which brings us new model cars.
