    Default I'm about to give up on the G8

    Its been a month now and i cant find the right G8. There isnt any locally but searching 3hrs north (Indy), 3 hrs west (st louis), 3 hrs south (nashville) and 3 hrs east (cincy) i havent much luck. THere were some but by the time i get a chance to get there its sold. St Louis has 2 2009 GTs with 62k miles and 74k miles but they want almost $19000 for them. Indy has 08 gt with 98k miles and listed at $16900 and near Cincy has 09 GT with 94k miles for $15500. Majority (GT and Base) have over 100k miles. This is frustrating....

    There's a guy locally selling a 69,000 mile car and he's asking 19. Personally, I think it's worth 17ish. I can hook you up with him if you like. Send me a PM. We're about a 6ish hour drive from Evansville.

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    I'll sell you mine. 09 GT , 82k, no wrecks, adult owned, never smoked in, never raced. There's a regional airport here. I'll split the cost of a plane ticket with you and pick you up, go to the bank, go pay off the lien, you drop me off and drive home or I'll split the cost to ship it to you. Pm me if interested. $16,500.

    Oh yeah, I'm in Mississippi. Car needs nothing. Very clean, no scratches or door dings. WH, red/onyx interior 9.9, exterior 9.8. PPV's, Teins, DBAs , SS brake lines, etc...

    And that is why you will love owning one: not everyone has a G8. I went on a 2200 mile vacation in mine. Saw three Ferraris. Only saw two G8's. Good things come to those who have patience and wait.

    The difficulty in finding a nice clean G8 is probably the biggest perk for us owners. The G8 is not without it faults and it's a niche vehicle.

    And it's hard to believe but the car is also 8 and 9 years old too

    thats part of my point on buying a GT that costs $18000. Paying that much for a car thats 7-8 yrs old and then the car is 12yrs old by the time its paid off. i still want one tho

    At this point I don't think the age of the car means as much as the short production run (2/2 1/2 years I think). To the OP I just put in a search with a 500 mile radius on just autotrader and 35 GT's came up..
