2001 Ram Air T/A, T-Tops, 6 speed factory Hurst. Nice condition everything works except the power antenna, which is in the up position. I have kept the car serviced with synthetic motor oil, engine purrs with a custom exhaust. I had the clutch replaced 2k miles ago. mechanic said that the old one was fine, but it felt weak to me. I had the air conditioning system redone at the same time, compressor,condensor all new. New altenator 2 months ago. All new tie rods on both sides, 4 new Nitro tires and front end alignment when I had that done.There is nothing I know that needs to be done. Custom paint job was completed 2 years ago, silver with charcoal trim, the front was not primed correctly and there are some spyder cracks that will need to be redone if you want the car perfect. The interior is nice with only the tear in the driver seat on the side as you enter, (normal wear location), there is a crack on both door panels at the location where they all crack. Dash is perfect, all guages, radio/CD player work. Headliner very good. All rubber seal goods condition with no water leaks. I was planning to keep this car as a collector, but I have been deployed overseas and do not need the storage fees for 4 years. This is my daily driver and is a southern Georgia car with no rust whatsoever. I have left the car at my brother's house in Maryland while I am away and for him to sell while I am gone. He will be happy to show or take you for a test drive. This car has a Georgia rebuilt title and I included a pictur of it. I bought this car from a dealer in Georgia two years ago and I will miss it, The car is very fast and I would not recommend it to be bought for a young driver. I have a 100 feedback so bid in confidence. The $6500 buy it now is a steal.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
