I had to take advantage of the 0%, it was too good a deal to pass up. I got the GT with Premium and Sport and Sunroof. Total out the door was 32,600. Its a 2009, so no bluetooth yet, but I see Sellers has the mod to make the 2009's bluetooth capatible. I'd also like to add the modded atari gauges and maybe an auto-dim mirror.

The car was fun to drive the 60 miles from Detroit to Toledo. It was tough staying off the gas, cause the car just wants to go....and go fast. Trying to take it easy on it for the first 500 miles....i always heard this was good....to break the car in.

I gotta spend some time reading the manual to figure out all the switches....lol.

Man, it was tough leaving the 2000 Grand Prix at the dealer. I bought the car new and it had always ran well, until lately. I got $3000 for it, and the tranny was problematic (no overdrive). It had rust under the gas fill, as well as rust through underneath. I would have had to put too much $$ into it to keep it He tried to offer $2000. It will be missed. It always was a fun car to drive, and I still love the body style. :(

Enjoy it, make sure you do your smokey burnouts someplace you won't get caught though. :)

LOL no. I haven't done a burnout since I got the new tires, and only did one on the old ones..
BUT, right after my friend Nick got his G8 he went through a parking lot we were all in and did a burnout into a donut.. it was f*c*in' stupid and ridiculous. He hasn't gotten caught.... yet.

Soooooo only one burnout on the stock tires? I suppose you tell the officer that when he asks you how many drinks you've had, lol

Heres a pic...sorry it just a cell phone pic. Already started the debadging after this pic. Took the little GM tags off, looks much better without.

Nice looking ride indeed! I haven't seen a red G8 with 19's, they look good with that color.

Thanks! Just debadged the "Pontiac" from the trunk today. Debating on removing the GT and G8 too. Looks much better without the "Pontiac". I've seen some pics with even the Pontiac emblem removed and it makes the rearend look much cleaner. I like the Pontiac emblem though...and it looks good on the Liquid Red.
