Quick Hit – The One You’ve Been Waiting For: Low Miles 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP

Most CarMax Pontiac G8 GT’s and G8 GXP’s sell in the upper $20k range, and frequently have 2-3 times the mileage of this one. For a 2009 unicorn – the last year on the planet for Pontiac – this one seems to be a little underpriced at $29,998. Perhaps the automatic is a drawback (or the red seats?), but most of the comps at CarMax were too. There’s always the to and fro on which is a better car – the Chevrolet SS or the Pontiac G8 GXP (actually both are now extinct in the US), and yet when a 10 year old Pontiac sells for almost the same price as a five year old SS, there must be a reason. Both are naturally aspirated V-8’s with over 400hp and 0-60’s in the four second range. Here’s the 2009 Car and Driver review. And to think you can add another five years, 100,000 mile MaxCare warranty that’s good until the car is 15 years old! This two owner Pontiac can be found here in Oklahoma.
