Replying to: vinnyny (Jan 10, 2009 7:54 am) I need cash so bad that I may trade both my 05 GTO and 06 TDI for an 09 Cobalt 5-spd plus cash, if a dealership agrees to that. (On the other hand, my friends are all authorized to tase me make a sudden move to sell/trade my GTO.) Anyone ever traded two for one and taken cash plus a new car out of the deal? (Dealer inventory would be down by 1 and they'd have two primo/rare cars to either sell themselves or wholesale. Basically, hypothetically, would you buy two used cars from me? Of course you would!) If I consider such a deal, I will have to also testdrive one of the G8s too even though all the current USA G8s have a woefully incorrect transmission type.

Replying to: harddrivet (Jan 05, 2009 8:38 am) A word of caution. There are independent (non-GM) plans out there. I've always been skeptical of them as some of them aren't as likely to be there if / when you need them.

Replying to: gmgold (Jan 20, 2009 7:09 am) Pontiac has a youthful, sporty vibe to them, they should keep the brand. But, GM needs to stop making sooooo many SUV's. This is not the market to keep doing this. Again, they just released a new model. They have the Enclave, Outlook, tranverse, etc... they are all on the same platform. They really all look alike. Downsize the company, focus on your most premium cars, or cars you think would really benefit keeping. Pontiac is worth keeping I think. People love their pontiacs, they just need a little more love and thought put into the overall design and quality. I have grown to love my 08 loaded G6, though I would have never chose this car if I wasn't forced to pick one. I can see why they like them. The G8 is a good start to a good solid car. Keep the car, create a new G6 off the rep from the G8. Take some of that money saved and create a revamped engine 4cyl and 6 cyl engines. They certainly need to work on refinement, work on that transmission. Its like GM is trying to do everything, trying to take on the world. I give the kudos for trying, but they need to take a step back, and focus. They could keep their brands, but get rid of the excessive SUV line up. People will always have a need for them, but you have so many to pick from, it'll make your head spin. Just think, if they did downsize a bit, they could really polish everything off, then you could feel more quality across the board. I don't think I should have to buy a CTS to get what the quality should be. Even then, I sat in one, didn't drive it, but I didn't feel anymore special in it. I would felt better in the Acura, when I went to the car show. I am sure it drives very well! |

| Anyone had their G8 out on winter roads and care to comment. I can't afford a seasonal car but I love this car. With a 50/50 weight split I think it might do fine but I would love to hear from those with experience. | |
So I am getting my first car from a dealership and the G8 GT is what I think I am going with. My fathers friend got this same car for 25,000 at a dealership close to him in Jersey but I live in New York so I'm not sure how much of a difference it will be. Can anyone help with what price I should go after or methods I should use? Any other suggestions or help is appreciated also...

My local dealer just received their 09 Pontiac G8 GXP... I was looking at purchasing a Cadillac CTS and then they pulled this car in and i couldn't take my eyes off of it, then i drove it, then i fell in love, WOW what a great looking sedan with awesome power, that the car handled beautifully, i like the G8 but the GXP took me to the next level ~ Away from so called "Luxury" sedans ~ This car has a place in my all time favorite cars that i have purchased... great great great purchase.... i payed invoice price at 38,800.00 ~ (MSRP was 40,850.00) then got a dealer certificate at $1000.00 off and had $1000.00 in GM dollars.. then at 1/9% financing i felt like i made a wonderful purchase.... Note GM just pulled there production of there performance motors for the Cadillac V and Pontiac GXP which will make these vehicles even more rare.... I feel lucky to have this GXP G8
