Pontiac G8 Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Re: depreciation on GT [rk2469]

I believe these percentages are off of MSRP, not including rebates & discount, although that can make a huge difference. What matters to the buyer is what the car is worth down the road vs. actual purchase price. You can spend all day running different numbers, but here's a brief example using my notes from when I purchased my G8, and current trade values from KBB ... Read More...

" go to your library and read the last 10 years of Road & Track and Car and Driver. And I pretty much won't consider the G8 GT a proper sports sedan, until they offer it with a manual transmission.

THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS FOR G8 GT

Written by: djohnny2001 on Mar 01, 2009 11:22 AM

I just bought a new 2009 G8 GT. I traded in my 2008 3.5 Nissan Altima...an impulse buy to be sure as I had owed $9500 and would be done in paying off in about 20 months. I got what I think was a very good deal but that is not what I want to talk about. First off, I couldn't be happier with this car. It is very comfortable, looks great (classy yet aggressive for my 41 year old styling) ... Read More...

Traded my BMW for a new G8 GT

Written by: pafromfl on Dec 24, 2008 10:11 PM

My 2005 BMW 330i warranty was going to expire at the end of January, so last Saturday I asked two local Pontiac dealers and one Infiniti dealer for their best out-the-door price with trade. The final offers were $16,222.30 for a 2008 white sport premium G35 with a $37,475 MSRP $13,289.38 for a 2009 white sport premium G8 GT with a $33,210 MSRP, and $11,500 for a 2009 ... Read More...

Hopefully, only the American dealers that treat customers right survive...not the ones you need to hold ransome to get a fair price. The G8 is fine but it's still an American car whose value will deteriorate $7k as you drive it off the lot. Here's the RTS price. Mr.P, I'll bet you paid more! 2008 Pontiac G8 Sedan MSRP: $29,995.00 Red Tag Price: $29,044.46 Total Cash ... Read More...

Article Comments - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo MR vs. 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP

Written by: KarenS on Dec 09, 2008 05:14 AM

We're playing follow-the-leader in the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR and the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP. At the word "go," the heavy-lidded gaze of the G8's front fascia suddenly swells up in the Evo's rearview mirror. The sound of a rip-snorting V8 gains urgency before crowding and then finally overwhelming the Evo's tepid turbocharged whoosh as the G8 elbows ... Read More...

Heck ya! You can get a G8 for literally dirt cheap on Ebay! Loaded V8's. Or a base model G8 for about $15k. Thats great! Why in the world would one buy a G6 when you can get a loaded or similarly featured car for less. Though, you can get a G6 for cheap too! Like new 2008 models. I would certainly pick a G8 over the G6 today. Though this is a real bummer about the market values ... Read More...

Bought one ( Helping the economy & GM )

Written by: rayainsw on Nov 24, 2008 03:14 AM

First – a sincere “Thank You” to those who have posted useful information here over the past several months, as I considered a G8 GT purchase. I appreciate you taking the time to post and specifically for answering several of my questions. Executive summary: This is as close to a ( reasonably priced ) 4-door Corvette as I see available today. With just over 2 years ... Read More...
