[OLD POST]
[FONT="Times New Roman"]Discounted to $159 for the Pontiac G8 service manuals (set 4). $159 with shipping and taxes rolled into it, out the door on its way to you. The discount code is still active, good for the GM factory service/repair manual set. Use discount

code "Service"

in the checkout after adding the service manual to your shopping cart. The discount code is active from June 8th to July 8th. July 8th, Greg will place the orders.

The goal is 10 orders placed on the Pace Performance website by July 8, Greg will place the orders. This is an extension from the original due date of June 24. We need to get the last few orders to reach the 10 goal. Once that happens, Greg will place the order on July 9, shipping several days later.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask.

These are the GM service manuals for the Pontiac G8. Two separate sets each for the 2008 Pontiac G8 and the 2009 Pontiac G8. Questions about the manuals, ask Greg at Pace Performance.

GMP08E - 2008 G8 Service Manual (http://paceperformance.com/i-5146384-gmp08e-2008-g8-service-manual.html)

GMP09E - 2009 G8 Service Manual (http://paceperformance.com/i-5146392-gmp09e-2009-g8-service-manual.html)

I've talked with Greg at Pace Performance about a group buy for the GM factory service/repair manual. This is actually a group of (4) manuals appx. 600+ pages of detailed diagrams, steps, etc. The same GM service manuals that the dealer technicians use. The group price would be $159, discounted from the original price $180. Shipping may be included in the discount, but check the website to verify.

Please post replies to this thread to let Greg & I know interest.

The new group buy ends the last week of June!

Thanks for the replies, spread the word! We are much closer to the 10 person minimum Greg @ Pace Performance needs to cut the price $20. I have people interested between this Grrrr8 forum, the other forums and my Capital City G8 Car Club.

Appreciate the responses! I will let Greg @ Pace Performance know that more than his minimum of 10 people are interested in the group buy! Between this forum, other Pontiac G8 forums and the Capital City G8 Car Club.
I will post in the next few days to let you all know what Greg expects to start the discounted option on his Pace Performance website.

so how this work, if we order, and dont get 10 people, we have to pay full price?

Greg@PacePerformance
06-22-2010, 12:20 PM
No I will give the option to either allow you to cancel the order or give a new price.
I have also extended the date to July 8th. to allow people to make a decision or get paid on the 1st for the people that get the retirement/ governement checks.

american_kestrel
06-22-2010, 12:21 PM
A few of you have asked if the price will change to full price if we don't reach the 10 order minimum. I talked to Greg at Pace Performance. See the updated post at the first page of this thread. The original date he agreed to keep the discount code active was Jun 24. Now he agreed to extend it to Jul 8.

If we fail to get minimum of 10 orders at the discount rate, then my understanding is the order would not be placed. Greg did not mind extending the date. Everyone should understand the service manuals will only be ordered the day after the agreed target. In other words, on July 9, Greg will place orders charging each a discounted rate ~only if we reach the 10 order minimum~.

Read post #22 above, follow the link, place your order, use discount code at checkout "Service", and sit back and wait for them to be shipped by Greg once he receives all orders. That's it.

Yeah, they are kinda basic. Y'know, your basic full transmission disassembly and reassembly, your basic full wiring and grounding diagrams, your basic full parts list for every electrical connector, your basic description of nearly every major and minor form of maintenance... Very basic. *nods*
