2009 Pontiac G8 Base Sedan 4-door 3.6l - One Owner - Nearly All Highway Miles on 2040-cars
Sundance, Wyoming, United States
|
This full-sized Pontiac G8 is a pleasure to drive and the most comfortable car I've ever owned. It's been driven primarily on Wyoming highways by me when I was working. It's a heavy, super responsive, road hugging, go fast car that is so fun to drive! If you love Pontiacs, given the great condition this car is in and the low mileage, it would make a great collector car. There's been no smoking, pets, or food in the car and the interior is in excellent condition. It's been kept in a garage. There are minor scratches and dings in the paint from normal driving. All service records for the vehicle are available. There have been no mechanical problems with the car and it hasn't been in any accidents. The tires are the original tires and are still good. The battery is brand new. The car has a 3.6 V6 engine, 256 HP and 6300 rpms with automatic transmission including sport mode, rear wheel drive, antilock disc brakes with electonic brake assist. Other standard features include: remote start, remote door lock and trunk release, traction control, stability control, power windows and locks, XM satellite, ONstar, 18 inch wheels, sport dual hood scoops, rear spoiler, and dual exhaust with polished stainless steel tips. The optional features included with this car are: leather seating surfaces, front heated seats, 6 way power seats for both driver and passenger, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, comfort and sound package that includes dual-zone air conditioning, AM/FM stereo with 6 disc CD changer, and premium speaker. The car was purchased new in March, 2009 by me. I bought it in Lander, Wyoming as my personal effort to help save General Motors. ... at least that's what I like to say. When GM decided to discontinue Pontiac production, I decided this car would become an especially good investment eventually. A relatively small number of G-8's were made (only 2008 and part of 2009) and there won't be any more Pontiacs. The original purchase price for this car was $31,045. According to what I've read, G-8s were marketed poorly and the purchase price was actually reduced by $3000 to $5000 before production ended in mid-2009. I expect that in time, though, that the value of G-8's will go up because there's just not a lot of them available. I wouldn't be selling the car if I didn't have to but I have no need for it since I've retired and moved and have no place to keep it. Until now it has always been kept stored in a garage. In the past 18 months, I've only taken it on the road for a short drive a couple times. |

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.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
