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. |

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
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 over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
