Patrick I get 15 mpg in the G8 around town and that's about the same I got in my S/C GTP. When you consider the G8 weighs hundreds of pounds more than the GP, it actually is more fuel efficient. The motor runs on 4 cylinders when you reach a steady cruising speed, and I can't even tell it's in that mode. Nail the gas pedal and it instantly throws me back in the seat.

I heard each dealer will get one G8 GXP and there's 2,870 Pontiac dealers in the USA, so there aren't gonna be many to go around.

The GT had a title problem so I let it go for 14k it had less then 2k on it..To find out he ended up getting it titled in RI after fighting with the RMV..

I got for a little over 10K so I made a little on it..

The 2 V6s I paid 10,800 for both of them then sold one for 7800 plus I want the doors & rocker section from the car & the guy had NO problem with that. I need to buy a fender & windshield plus my time & paint.. I have 3400 in a 08 with 1200 miles on it.. I put 3500 miles on it in a month :shock: :shock: I need to make sure everything works right :roll: :roll: I made alot of money on this car so its time to finish my mothers Jeep & get a few more G8s.. :grin:

YES...They have Salvage Titles.. You need to get the org.. owner to buy it back from the Ins Co so you dont have a Salvage Title.. Thats hard to do because you need to know the person or be in the right place.. MA laws are getting harder. My mother Jeep SRT doesnt have a Salvage Titles & a few Cobalt SS I just did didnt have Salvage Titles..

In MA if you crash a Salvage car you will get book for it..

I was interested in a GTO that was a stolen recovery with a salvage title from wisconsin. The car was found in good condition AFTER the ins co paid the owner for the loss. I looked into getting it titled in Illinois and it seemed like too much trouble. They said if they found one part on the car that was reported as stolen, they would confiscate the car from me. It was a blue 2006 with low miles and they wanted like $10K for it, which was a good deal.
