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.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This 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.

Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did

Fri, Jun 21 2019

Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
