I understand this is probably the lease desirable of them all but for it to be under 10k with less than 100k on it. Wow. That's a lot of car to be had for that cheap. And it seems to have a clean title and looks to be in good condition

CL blocked...what is it?

 

2004 Red GTO with 84k miles for $9800.

Seems right to me. The 05-06s are the desirable ones.

 

this seemed to be the cheapest of them all but its in great condition. My pops has an 06 with a few things done and its a blast. But the 04's are still a great buy with the LS1

 

Wow, I didn't realize they were so cheap. I wish they had convertibles. That would be a fun summer car.

 

I looked at 3 06's. All manuals. The stick felt horrible. They were fast, but I thought they handled like crap. I understand that can be fixed, but I just couldn't buy another car that was discontinued.

 

I would think that the allure of those cars has been outweighed by the fact that the entire brand is now extinct.

Take a look at the G8 GTs on eBay. Not a lot of activity.

 

Agreed. I tested one and it was atrociously bad for anything but making noise and going in a straight line. I wish they had not screwed with it and just given us the suspension tuning from the Holden Monaro which the car is based on.

 

 

The G8 is probably the best looking American sports sedan, next to the CTS-V!

 

Meh

 

I drove one at a GM event in the 2000's. There were two MT cars there, Z06 and GTO. The Z06 had a nice shifting manual where the GTO felt notchy, sloppy and loose. Also the interior was pretty Pontiac-like as well.

 

 

G8 > gto

 

 

It was not a good sign when dealers were selling new G8s for $24K when I was looking at the TL.
Disagree. G8 > CTS-V on exterior looks.


The CTS-V does have a much nicer interior than the G8, although IDK how the GXP's interior looks.

 

G8 GXP interior is hot

 

^ A friend of mine in Austin has a 6AT G8 GXP, I got chance to drive it last year. Great car, alot of fun to drive in the hill country.
Also having little changes from Pontiac and keeping it almost all Holden also helped alot.

 

Pontiac was hitting their stride right before they folded.

 

Pontiac..... they really WERE hitting their stride right before GM pulled the plug.

 

There's a GXP on ebay if you look for it. Lots of pics.

 

you can get a decent 06 GTO for 15k now i was looking at them but i dont like the way it drives its heavy and handling isnt best... 6.0 was nice though the shifter was ridiculous

 

but them g8's have a high price on them now especially the manual ones, least from what I saw on autotrader.

 

during the height of the auto crisis, I was going to get a new 415hp G8 just because the dealers were selling them at like 30-40% off MSRP...it was ridiculous

 

Just like the original GTOs....

 

I say look around for the G8. Just a better car, period.

 

The 5.7s are slow. The 6l is the one you want.
