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. |

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
