The General is offering 0% financing for 72 months for the Vibe, G3, G5, G6 and G8, giving perspective car buyers the chance to get into one of the last Pontiacs ever made. if you would have told us a year ago that we could get a 361 hp G8 GT for about $400 a month, we’d be pretty stoked. > **[GM ushers in misnamed "72-Hour Sale" with 0% financing on many Pontiacs, Chevys,...](https://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/01/gm-ushers-in-misnamed-72-hour-sale-with-0-financing-on-many-p/)** > > 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP – Click above for high-res image gallery ---

Also a Pontiac Solstice GXP coupe would be a nice collector, since they are only going to make a couple hundred examples, I think I heard 800 to be exact. ---

Not stackable with rebates though ☹ However this also has the upside down guarantee. Put nothing down and in 3 years if you’re bored, trade it in on something new and GM \covers the difference! ---

What does it say when a company ends a total confidence program? Way to go GM. Maybe they put all those liabilities in the “old GM”? Edit: nevermind GM didn’t underwrite it “The obligations and any liabilities of this Agreement are solely the responsibility of ServicePlan, Inc.” Similar to Hyundai not underwriting the job loss program. ---

I drove one of my buddies 09s that has Vararam Ram Air Intake, kooks headers-X Pipe-axle backs, stage 2 pedders suspension kit and a tune. It was a great riding car with good power. runs 12s all day long and still gets mid 20s highway :tup: I really wanna ditch my STS and get a G8, but no car payments rule, so maybe I’ll save up for 2 years and buy one then. ---

Cant really complain about mine. I wish it were 500 pounds lighter, which woulda helped me to 12’s, but hey it rides nice, has plenty of power, and is probably the most practical fun car I’ll ever own. With an intake/tune/exhaust/headers/cam its a sick nasty car thats still get decent MPG and wont cost you too much 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/anyone-here-into-or-thinking-about-a-g8/63210.md?page=5)
