2009 Pontiac G8 Gxp Sedan 4-door Corvette Camaro 6.2l Motor on 2040-cars
Marlton, New Jersey, United States
|
This is something I never thought I would have to do, sell my beloved GXP. This is used as my daily driver and my company is looking to change my auto reimbursement plan and thus it will not be financially smart for me to keep the car. I need to move into something that will return 30-35 mpg, although this GXP does get a solid 19mpg on the highway, it's not the best choice when looking for fuel efficiency. That is the only reason I am selling the car, and it's taken me nearly a month to finally decided to make this post putting it up for sale. Like I said this is my daily driver, but I have the luxury of working from home, so this car has never been driven in any snow or bad winter weather. This daily driver has won trophies at shows against other garage queen cars. It's adult owned, and adult cared for and I am a "Car Guy", and also own a Corvette Z06, thus my license plate and I am a member of BMWCCA. The car is protected with Zymol and Meguiar's Professional products on a regular basis. The GXP is garage kept and has some minor mods that are easily reversed if desired. I love the Holden aspect of these cars, thus I have debadged the Pontiac emblems and replaced them with Holden badges wherever possible. #684 of the 1,829 produced 1 of 37 as optioned with White Hot exterior, Onyx and Red Interior, Six Speed Manual, and Sunroof. At present it shows 48,300 miles on the odometer and I will be looking to find alternate transportation in order to keep the GXP under 50,000 miles. The car is located in Burlington County, New Jersey; just outside of Philadelphia, PA. It is still under the GMPP, General Motors Protection Plan Warranty, the best one available from GM. The GMPP is valid until June 15, 2015 or 100,000 miles and carries a $100 deductible. This can be transferred to the new owner if they desire. On Star Navigation is current and paid through June of 2014. I am the second owner of the car. The original owner bought the car in Arkansas and put 8,100 miles on the car in three years of ownership. I bought the car as a Certified Pre Owned from a Cadillac dealership outside of Detroit, MI. I bought the car sight unseen, bought a one way plane ticket to Detroit and drove the car home to New Jersey. It continues to be serviced at a local former Pontiac dealership. It receives a Mobil 1 oil change every 5,000 miles. I can provide all the service notes, as provided by my service advisor, if requested. I can provide his contact information if you wish to speak with him about the car. Now onto the description of what has been done to the car. -SUMMER TIRE/WHEEL COMBO Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires installed on 19" OEM GXP Wheels, NEW June 2013 - Holden center caps are installed on the GXP wheel. -WINTER TIRE/WHEEL COMBO Hankook i-Cept Winter Tires on 18" Beyern (BMW spec) Black Wheels, NEW Oct. 2012 -Roto Fab Cold Air Intake -160 Degree Thermostat -East Coast Supercharging Tune -Stop Tech Street Performance Pads -Xenon/HID 5000k 35 watt Headlights -Xenon/HID 3000k 25 watt Fog Lights -3m Clear Bra installed on the hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors, headlights and fog lights -Home Link Garage Door Opener in sun visor -OEM Pontiac Trunk Liner -Weather Tech front and rear floor liners -OEM carpeted black floor mats -Redline Goods Red/Black leather center arm rest cover and shifter boot (shifter boot never installed) -Pro Clip G8 Specific mount for iPhone -Hardwired Aux Connection for iPhone 4/5 for charging and audio playback -Blend Mount Valentine One Mirror Mount and Mirror power connection -Window Tint, non-metallic, 20% on the rear, 35% on the sides, and 80% on the windshield. I use this for UV protection, you can not tell the windshield is even tinted, and yes this is illegal in NJ, but I have never been stopped. See the photos below from inside the car looking out to see the tint. -Black sealed front license plate frame -Removed the "PONTIAC" emblems from the trunk -Removed the Pontiac dart from the trunk and replaced it with a Holden Loin emblem -Red GXP Emblem Overlays -Red GXP Brake Caliper Covers by MGP -Original owner installed GM Part - Chrome Fuel Door Cover -Removed the GM "Chicklet" emblem and replaced with Jake Skull (Corvette Racing mascot) -LS3 Corvette Fuel Rail Covers -Removed the front Pontiac arrow, replaced with custom Holden arrow -Block It Dustop Indoor/Outdoor car cover Included will be all the OEM parts that were removed, air intake, engine cover, headlights, emblems, floor mats. Plus I have an unpainted OEM fuel door cover, if you wish to replace the chrome one. I have all documentation that came with the vehicle when sold as new, including Pontiac full line brochure window sticker, and owner's manual. Three sets of keys, one original flip key, one original (never used) fixed key fob, and a brand new uncut flip key fob. I have never run this car down the drag strip, it did see one track day at Pocono North Course. I am a driving instructor for Del-Val Miata and I brought the GXP to the road course to see what it could do. It preformed flawlessly and all preventative maintenance was preformed before and after the event, with no issues. The car obviously has all of the OEM options, such as Bluetooth, heated seats, auto climate control, 6 disc in dash CD player, etc. The car presently does have a lien on the title and that title is held by US Bank. So the bank will be involved in the transaction and transfer of ownership/title. I understand this will slow down the purchasing process, but I will work with the buyer to make sure it goes smoothly. The asking price is set at $34,500 and I have very little wiggle room on the price due to the lien on the car. Presently on Auto Trader there are 4 manual GXP's for sale within 500 miles of my home. None of them have the onyx/red interior or a warranty. Prices and mileage range from $38,995 to $33,500 and 12,000 to 37,000 miles. So I am right in line with the market, for a fairly stock car with two sets of wheels/tires and GMPP. I have over 70 recent photos of the car, so if you want to see something specific please let me know. Thanks for reading my long description, but I want to be sure to explain everything as best I can for any potential buyer. If I am this detailed about my for sale listing, just imagine how much detail I give to maintaing the GXP! The car is in excellent condition and I planned to own this for years to come, but it's not going to work out that way. There is no other car available today, that I would rather use as my daily driver, I simply love this car. My Z06 has been driven less than 2,000 miles since I have owned the GXP, it's that much fun to drive. |

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
