Hello,

You all know that I have been contemplating purchasing a G8 or a GTO. I got word from the dealer today that they REALLY want me in the G8 and are giving me the hard press. They sweetened the G8 (41K miles) deal a bit, and now they will give me $7200 for my GTP (instead of $6500) and will put on 4 new Bridgestone tires...the same summer performance tires that are on the vehicle now...M(about $300 a piece) (I complained that two of the existing tires were worn out). This is all from the Sales Manager who said " he wants to make me an offer that I cannot refuse".

What do you all think about this? good deal?

Thanks!

Its only a good deal if you want the G8 bad enough.

Honestly, you could find a lower mileage G8 possibly with mods from a private owner and try to sell the GP yourself. There are a few G8's selling on g8board and Grrr8.

I don't think it's that great of a deal. Tell them to give you the cost of the new tires off the price and buy the tires you want. If your area gets snow you'll need all season tires since the Bridgestone Potenza's are summer only.

Yes, I was on the road when the SM called and tried to get me to commit and I said I will get back to him because I wanted more time to think this through. He was trying to get this deal done bfore he hands in his sales for the month. As far as the tires, I have a buddy who has a G8 with the summer tires and drives it year round here in Charlotte, but I was thinking what you were thinking. Maybe some good all season tires and knock off another grand or two would make me feel better. It will not make him feel better....LOL. If he does not accept..oh well...he loses a deal.

Thanks!

20K with new tires sound like a deal
