Pontiac G8 V8

These cars look like deals but I wonder how well they will be in the long run? Do you think parts will get more expensive? Accidents / Insurance be more?

Get a G8 GXP. Exterior and trim parts might get more expensive, but there are loads of parts for the LS3 V8.

Parts availability is a problem with these cars.

I love the look of that thing and the V8 hauls.

American enthusiasts seem to love the SS Commodore. But it sold rather poorly didnt it?

What's the deal with that?

Deals? Aren't they actually hard to find for a deal? I love them but anytime I look into one, they're still up there price-wise considering unavailability of parts/etc.

Whats the motor in the G8 GT? I've been thinking about getting one. How's the tranny?

20K for a GT with only 11K miles isn't too bad: http://www.cars.com/go/search/detai...pp=50&feedSegId=28705&aff=national&listType=3

L76. Holden's version of an LS2. Transmission is the widely used 6speed auto, GM 6L80.

Coming up on 3 years with mine in a few weeks. Just a hair over 40k miles, only issue I've had is a clunk in the front suspension at around 25k. There was a TSB out for the LCA's and they replaced them no questions asked with an updated version, been great since. Also, been running intake/tune (the trans tune is a huge improvement)/exhaust on mine since about 1200 miles.

I got rear-ended last fall and took it in, was surprised when there was no wait for the trunk/spare tire tub. I don't think availability, in the sense that you won't be able to get them, will be an issue. It'll just be more of a needing to wait for the parts from over seas at worst.

If you can find one

They've also hardly depreciated at this point.

I almost guarantee that's a scam.

If that car was available with a 6MT it would be an absolutely awesome car. Aside from that, its still an awesome car, I just think it deserves a manual option. Love the GXP and would rock one in a heartbeat.

I have a GT and it's awesome. I'm at 34,000 miles and it runs excellent. Nicest car I've had by far. It has a L76 motor which means that it has a LS2 block with LS3 head. Parts for the engine and such are very plentiful since it's just a small block chevy engine.

If you can find one legitimately for $20k you had better make sure that it hasn't been beat to crap or something because that is very low.

There's a lot of them for around 23K.
