 I will write everything I can think of here and hopefully I won't forget anything.  I hate when people aren't honest when selling their car (I've come across big issues that they did not fess up to).  So here is everything.  Ask if you have any questions. 

I bought this car 11/29/2010 and didn't put the title in my name til 5/6/11.  The previous owners did not take good care of it.  It has been in an accident which we could see the scrape on the bumper and found out later the trunk leaked badly.  How bad the accident was I don't know but you can see where the trunk lid is slightly ajar.  I took the spoiler off and resealed everything there (all around the edge and the screw holes) and that took care of the worst of the leaking but it still leaks some - if there is a heavy rain, you don't want stuff in your trunk.  Also in trying to resolve everything - my garage got rid of the dry rotted spare but put a whole spare in the trunk which of course didn't fit in the wheel well.  After lots of arguing, I finally got another compact to put in there but the rim center is too small for the jack/tools holder part so the trunk doesn't lay flat (but it's at least usable whereas it wasn't with a full size tire).  The leaking might be resolved with new weather stripping but I'm not sure. 

Ever since I have owned it, it has done a hiccup, slight kick thing when doing a soft acceleration but as soon as you do a harder acceleration, it goes away.  Don't know the cause of it and the garage didn't answer that question.  Also there is a slight stick to the gas pedal sometimes when doing that first acceleration for that trip (the gas pedal doesn't stick down but you have to punch it to get the pedal to move).  I'm told this is not the pedal itself but something else which I can't remember what they said. 

The plastic molding around the windows and paint off some of the metal on the window and windshield wipers is coming off.  Just cosmetic.  I intended to fix and just never could figure out what it was I needed to order.  Driver side mirror has scraps from my mailbox post.

The previous owners told me the CD player does not play.  I don't know as I have not wanted to ruin/lose any of my CD's so I've just been using the radio. 

Service history (does not include all oil changes just the ones I kept the receipt for - I did change the oil and rotated tires on a regular basis):
5/31/11 - Rotors replaced front and back and new brakes put on
6/9/11 - Replaced AC Compressor and alignment
11/25/11 - Front axle (I think passenger side) replaced
12/29/11 - Fuel Sending Kit
1/20/12 - New battery
3/9/12 - Oil Change and 4 new tires (177,727 miles)
4/8/12 - Rotors turned and I can't read what the other thing was that was done (something cheap)
6/25/12 - Oil Change and rotate tires
8/22/12 - Left front hub assembly, oil change and new air filter
9/10/12 - Replaced coil (something with a misfire)
10/18/12 - Front passenger door repaired after a deer hit me (with me sitting still) - A little stiffer than the other doors but opens and closes fine
12/7/12 - Oil Change and tire rotation
12/12/12 - Air Flow Sensor replaced
3/7/13 - Oil change, tire rotation, fuel injector cleaner, Lucas treatment, Transmission kit

The car makes noises, the fabric on the ceiling is separating, the LED lights for the clock/radio don't work well but I've been driving it at least 50 miles a day 4 days a week.  I'm just ready for a luxury car.

$1000 deposit required after 48 hours and full payment due within 7 days from end of auction.  Deposit is non-refundable.  Sale is "as is" and final.  Buyer is responsible for pickup/delivery.  Any questions, please ask.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

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.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
