ANOTHER G8 GT JOINS THE FAMILY!
I just helped my son Darren pick up his new LIQUID RED G8 GT today from Landford Buick/Pontiac/GMC in PA. It is the most impressive new car I have ever driven. He got it with all the options(listed at $32,745)and that included the Sunroof, the Premium Package and the Sport Package. The price he was able to get was awesome, because he was a Rider Collage grad from last year he qualified for the GM employee discount which was invoice(just over $1,200 off)and also my wife has a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT it qualified for the GM loyalty discount of $1,000, so he got over $2,300 off of list. Not bad for a car that NOBODY is discounting. He also got the two-tone RED and BLACK leather interior. My friend at Miller tried to get the car for him, but found out that within a 300 mile range of this area, this was the ONLY G8 GT with the color and equipment that he wanted. He is looking forward to running it at Pontiac Day at Raceway Park in June, but for now is thrilled just to have it. Hope to have some pictures up in the next day. Just a side note, I drove it(just a little, HA)and I was shocked that it barely made a chirp with or without the traction control on. Launch is amazing, I have to feather the Formula and his car comes out like it has slicks!
