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. |

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.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
