2009 Pontiac G8 Base Sedan 4-door 3.6l - One Owner - Nearly All Highway Miles on 2040-cars
Sundance, Wyoming, United States
|
This full-sized Pontiac G8 is a pleasure to drive and the most comfortable car I've ever owned. It's been driven primarily on Wyoming highways by me when I was working. It's a heavy, super responsive, road hugging, go fast car that is so fun to drive! If you love Pontiacs, given the great condition this car is in and the low mileage, it would make a great collector car. There's been no smoking, pets, or food in the car and the interior is in excellent condition. It's been kept in a garage. There are minor scratches and dings in the paint from normal driving. All service records for the vehicle are available. There have been no mechanical problems with the car and it hasn't been in any accidents. The tires are the original tires and are still good. The battery is brand new. The car has a 3.6 V6 engine, 256 HP and 6300 rpms with automatic transmission including sport mode, rear wheel drive, antilock disc brakes with electonic brake assist. Other standard features include: remote start, remote door lock and trunk release, traction control, stability control, power windows and locks, XM satellite, ONstar, 18 inch wheels, sport dual hood scoops, rear spoiler, and dual exhaust with polished stainless steel tips. The optional features included with this car are: leather seating surfaces, front heated seats, 6 way power seats for both driver and passenger, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, comfort and sound package that includes dual-zone air conditioning, AM/FM stereo with 6 disc CD changer, and premium speaker. The car was purchased new in March, 2009 by me. I bought it in Lander, Wyoming as my personal effort to help save General Motors. ... at least that's what I like to say. When GM decided to discontinue Pontiac production, I decided this car would become an especially good investment eventually. A relatively small number of G-8's were made (only 2008 and part of 2009) and there won't be any more Pontiacs. The original purchase price for this car was $31,045. According to what I've read, G-8s were marketed poorly and the purchase price was actually reduced by $3000 to $5000 before production ended in mid-2009. I expect that in time, though, that the value of G-8's will go up because there's just not a lot of them available. I wouldn't be selling the car if I didn't have to but I have no need for it since I've retired and moved and have no place to keep it. Until now it has always been kept stored in a garage. In the past 18 months, I've only taken it on the road for a short drive a couple times. |

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
