My dealer finally has a silver GXP!!

[99-LS1-SS]

It looks like I might actually be getting the GXP in the next few days! They finally got a silver GXP with the manual transmission and the black interior with the sunroof. I'll be calling them the minute they open. The sucky part is that I'm going to Disney with my family this coming Saturday. I hope the car comes in before then. I'm going to buy it before I leave if I can.
:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:


Now ya'll can finally stop listening to me whine about getting my car. :spank:

Good luck and finally for you! Hope it works out ask the dealer if he can give the truck drive the VIN# and put a rush on the delivery! Worked for me enjoy disney! We took our G8 GXP out this Sunday and drove on a curvy mountainous road, man the way that baby handles is awesome.

Congrats!

Just make sure you put a good "hold/down payment" on the car and I'm sure they'll let it stick around long enough for you to pick it up.

So what happened with the call?

[Kermit]

Congrats, now lets just cross our fingers that it has your name all over it before you take off to Disney land.

[wwg8]

LS,

I'd love to see it. Give me shout when you can. I could meet you somewhere.

Have fun at Disney! Kick that vertical mouse in the shins for me---j/k! You can park at the Polynesian or Boardwalk for free. If Polynesian, just say you are there to eat.

I'm going through Hendrick. They told me that a few people put money down back in October (I was the first) so I'm not sure if they'll have what you want. Here is a link to all of the GXP's within 50 miles of Hendrick.

Probably a few people that would disagree on the "other" board.

I talked to them this morning and gave them a copy of my drivers license and insurance card. They told me that that one is officially tagged for me and marked sold in the computer now. I hope they stick to it.

Unfortunately, it will probably be after I get back from Disney. The sales manager said it usually takes right at 2 weeks from the time they show in the computer to when the truck delivers them to the lot. At least I'll have Disney to take my mind off of it for a week.

[SRG963]

GRRRR8.net - Pontiac G8 and Camaro Forum Mobile = Not a good look! lol

[TheTugBoat]

lol obviously not on a computer but it helps on your crackberry to have the mobile option.

1. If the dealer sells your car before you get back i say firebomb the place.
2. You know damn well the only thing you'll be thinking of at disney is getting your GXP.

Haha, have fun, you're daughter won't be able to stop being excited

[Eidolon]

Congrats, man! Any incentives to help get the price down, or is price no object in this case? ;)

And yeah, I'm asking so I know what they're giving to other buyers. :brock:

[GXPaycheck]

Money IS an object. I'm not to that point yet. I am currently trying to decide if 0% for 5 years or $3000 cash back is better. I'm getting supplier pricing regardless.

There are calculators on the web you can use to see which way is better. You need to know the length of the loan for correct numbers.

[xfactor]

If you are borrowing more that $23k (@4.9%) then you are better off taking the 0% interest. Heck, even if you are not still get a loan for the max amount you can as you should be making 4-6% on your money in the bank so you would make money off of the loan instead of lossing money. Make since?

Just curious, you don't happen to have another auto financed with GM do you?

The reason why I ask is because a friend of mine went to buy a GT a couple of months ago and already had one auto financed with GM (8k balance, 15 months left) and it was an automatic turn down with GM. The guy and his wife both make great money well over 100k and have have no other debt except his SUV financed with GM.

He ended up going with his bank. Maybe GM has loosened up a bit, but it's a bit strange they wouldn't finance a second vehicle for this person. I guess it didn't matter to GM that this guy had a very high credit score, 10k down and no other debt.

Hopefully, this was an isolated incident. But if anyone has a auto financed with GM and tries to finance another one and is turned down by GM. You're not alone.

I'm estimating borrowing around $26K.

No, our Tahoe is through Chase and it should be paid off within the next two months.

Something isn't right .....
They shouldn't have turned them down just because they already had one vehicle financed with them.....I actually have three that have all been purchased in the last year....we bought the G8 GT in May of last year and had no problem....we had purchased a 08 Chevy LTZ Crew Cab (loaded and them some)in January of last year and then in February bought the daughter and 08 G5 GT ...so the G8 was after both of those. :confused:

That's what I thought as well. I asked him again "today" about it. He said that on the automatic response it was a turndown. GM was the only one out of many lenders they sent it to that turned him down.

He went on to say that the finance lady said she could call in and GM would likely buy it, but he said don't bother. His bank was one of the many lenders the dealer ran it through. So he went with them. He does have two-three payouts with GM over the last 6-7 years.

Who knows it's all pretty odd. Maybe it just wasn't his or GM's day.
