  • 09 Pontiac G8 GT Liquid Red



    Well I am throwing this up to gauge some interest. I bought the car in the beginning of December down south with 32K miles on it (now 39.5K miles). The car was a southern car until I brought it up here this winter. I actually flew down and drove it up here and boy was it a comfortable and fun drive! I did drive the car through winter, but went through an under body car wash at least once a week to prevent any rust.

    The reason I am putting this up here is because I don't really need all the room as I rarely have anyone but myself in it and I don't lug anything around ever. The car is a blast though and gets up and goes for a four door car. I'm looking to go towards a C5 coupe or Z06.

    The engine that comes with this car is the L76 which is the 6.0L version of the L92 and also has AFM (Active Fuel Management). The trans is the A6 6L80E with three shift modes: Drive, Sport & Manual. The rear is IRS and makes for an extremely comfortable ride. The car has Traction Control and Stabilitrak, which has saved me a few times this past winter in less than comforting conditions.

    The car does have the Premium Sound package which includes the 11 speaker Blaupunkt system and the screen that you see in the center dash. The vehicle is also OnStar equipped and XM ready. The car also has my favorite feature called stealth mode. What it is is if you push both the buttons that turn the dash lights brighter and dimmer at the same time it will shut off all the dash lights except the DIC and the speedo, which is amazing at night and takes a lot of stress off the eyes at night.

    The car has black cloth interior. The front bucket seats are very comfortable and I have never had any back problems with my multiple 2 hour drives. The car also has Auto Dual Climate control.

    There are two keys. One is a switchblade style and the other is a fixed key with the fob attached. There is also remote start from the factory and worked great during my winter months.

    The car is completely stock performance wise. The only modifications I have done are exterior and lighting.

    20% tint on the back and side windows
    35% tine on the windshield
    GXP rear bumper insert

    AAC White Halo's in the headlights
    55W 5000K HID low beams
    55W 5000K HID high beams
    25W 3000K HID fog lights

    I have just recently changed the oil with Castrol 0W-30 German formula and a K&N Oil Filter. I have had no problems with this car at all mechanically. There is still the 100K/5 Year Powertrain Warranty on the vehicle.

    The only flaws are cosmetic. The front bumper underneath got scraped during the winter time and isn't really noticable from standing height. There is one knick in the hood and a few on the back edge of the drive door as if the owner before opened into something. There is also a knick on the rear bumper from me putting something into the trunk and also two knicks from the previous owner backing into a car with a front licence plate. I do have a bottle of touch up paint from the dealer that could easily fix the knicks on the car.

    Also one other thing I would include are some Russell Stainless Steel Brake Lines that are brand new. ($120)

    The price is pretty firm as it is around what I owe on the car, $21,500. This car would be great that needs the function of a four door car, but still wants the rear-wheel drive V8 fun! I love this car and anyone else that owns one seems to love it too, but I just don't need all that it has to offer.

    Anyways I'm sure I've forgotten somethings, but I'll add as I remember.

        Haha, I'm just gauging some interest, I'm not dead set on selling it yet. I mean it's an awesome car all around and the most comfortable car to ride in that I've ever owned, but I don't really need all the space... 95% of the time nothing even sits in the back seats and the trunk is empty except for a tool kit.

                I will vouch for this car, extremely clean. I've seen it on almost a daily basis, and it was cleaner all throughout the winter than my car is right now. Whoever buys the car will not be dissapointed.

                Does it have heated seats David?

                    Thanks for the kind words!

                    No it doesn't have heated seats as it has cloth seats, but the car warms up so fast though it's ridiculous!
