If you're here then you know what kind of vehicle I'm selling.

This is a 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP--the fastest, best handling, most powerful and last car Pontiac ever made. Less than 1900 of these cars were made. I am the original owner of this vehicle and have taken really good care of it since new. Anyone interested in this car will not be disappointed. Everything great you've heard about this car is true and then some. This car, as were most GXPs, is fully loaded. It has the only two options available--a sliding sunroof and an automatic transmission.

First the good; the car has been garage-stored in the wintertime for the past five years to avoid the salt and snow in NYC. The car has had regular oil changes since new using only Mobil1 synthetic oil. I've never raced the car nor abused it in anyway. I've never had any mechanical problems with the car. On top of being one of the most unique and fastest 4-door cars on the road, it rides and handles as well as you want it to with a huge trunk to top it all off. I have not modified the car in any way so those looking for a clean canvas have found the right one.

Now the not-so-good; the car has some scratches on both front and rear bumpers from parking garages, street parking, etc. The hood near the left headlamp, and including the left headlamp, have some scratches due to a careless person with a shopping cart in a parking lot. The current tires may need replacing in the next year or so--I haven't changed them because someone interested in this car will have their own preference on wheels/tires. It currently has Bridgestone Potenza summer tires.

G8 GXPs don't come up for sale often so don't let this opportunity to own a piece of history pass you by. Please ask any and all questions but understand that I will not disclose my reserve price; I've set it at a fair price so if you're interested, please bid what you're willing to spend. I will say that the reserve price I've set is thousands less than the Kelley Blue Book value on a vehicle in this condition. Auction winner will be expected to leave a non-refundable $125 deposit upon auction end. I reserve the right to end the listing early as I'm advertising this sale on other platforms. Local pickup only--please do not ask me to ship.

Disclaimer about vehicle history report: the car was in a minor accident in August 2012 involving a reckless taxi. There was very minor damage to the front hood and bumper which the insurance company gladly replaced with new OEM parts. I have all documentation of this incident.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford 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.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE

Sat, Dec 2 2017

Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
