Pontiac as a company ran outta gas in 2009, and sadly this Holden Commodore……er, Pontiac G8 GT unicorn went with it. The big Australian sedan has been resurrected as the Chevy SS and will cover one soon. Often when I see a Pontiac G8 GT or GXP in a driveway, the owner also has another enthusiast auto; an original Landcruiser FJ or a Mazda RX-7 or something that says they like what they like.
Been watching this 2009 1/2 Pontiac G8 GT because it seems to be a well-balanced value at only $19,998, with lower miles and price than most (check out the comps at the bottom – two other high mileage cars and a six-cylinder G8), and because it isn’t selling. Then again, back in the day these sold poorly anyway. It has been transferred once so far. Would welcome thoughts from Pontiac experts on why it’s not sold. Admittedly it is only a GT with a 355 hp power plant, not the 400 hp in the more coveted GXP (usually selling for $10,000 more than a GT). It doesn’t have a sunroof, but the 2009 1/2 got Bluetooth! The interior of this one owner car looks nearly new, with seat heaters in the front. It is a 10 year old extinct car, so I’d still roll for the MaxCare warranty. Here’s the Motor Trend and Car and Driver reviews from back in the day. Find it here in Chicago.
