2009 Pontiac G8 Gxp Sedan 4-door 6.2l on 2040-cars
United States
|
If you're here then you know what kind of vehicle I'm selling.
This is a 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP--the fastest, best handling, most powerful and last car Pontiac ever made. Less than 1900 of these cars were made. I am the original owner of this vehicle and have taken really good care of it since new. Anyone interested in this car will not be disappointed. Everything great you've heard about this car is true and then some. This car, as were most GXPs, is fully loaded. It has the only two options available--a sliding sunroof and an automatic transmission. First the good; the car has been garage-stored in the wintertime for the past five years to avoid the salt and snow in NYC. The car has had regular oil changes since new using only Mobil1 synthetic oil. I've never raced the car nor abused it in anyway. I've never had any mechanical problems with the car. On top of being one of the most unique and fastest 4-door cars on the road, it rides and handles as well as you want it to with a huge trunk to top it all off. I have not modified the car in any way so those looking for a clean canvas have found the right one. Now the not-so-good; the car has some scratches on both front and rear bumpers from parking garages, street parking, etc. The hood near the left headlamp, and including the left headlamp, have some scratches due to a careless person with a shopping cart in a parking lot. The current tires may need replacing in the next year or so--I haven't changed them because someone interested in this car will have their own preference on wheels/tires. It currently has Bridgestone Potenza summer tires. G8 GXPs don't come up for sale often so don't let this opportunity to own a piece of history pass you by. Please ask any and all questions but understand that I will not disclose my reserve price; I've set it at a fair price so if you're interested, please bid what you're willing to spend. I will say that the reserve price I've set is thousands less than the Kelley Blue Book value on a vehicle in this condition. Auction winner will be expected to leave a non-refundable $125 deposit upon auction end. I reserve the right to end the listing early as I'm advertising this sale on other platforms. Local pickup only--please do not ask me to ship. Disclaimer about vehicle history report: the car was in a minor accident in August 2012 involving a reckless taxi. There was very minor damage to the front hood and bumper which the insurance company gladly replaced with new OEM parts. I have all documentation of this incident. |

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
