The GTP sold over the weekend and I found a G8 GT for its replacement. Had to move onto a 4 door so that is what I decided on. I found a 08 loaded for a badass deal that I could not pass up so I put $ down on it. The bad thing is I have to drive 45 minutes north of Albany, NY, so it will be like a 9 hour drive. I was particular about the color (Ignition Orange) and the deal was too good to pass up so it will be worth the trip…considering I drove to Providence, RI to get my WS.6 this shouldn’t be too bad. Well here are a couple of dealer pics for now. I plan on picking it up this weekend (I hope) and I will have to post more pics when I actually get it. ![http://images.cars.com/supersized/DMI/6079/10861.02.jpg](http://images.cars.com/supersized/DMI/6079/10861.02.jpg) ![http://images.cars.com/supersized/DMI/6079/10861.03.jpg](http://images.cars.com/supersized/DMI/6079/10861.03.jpg) ---

Where i work I can run auction reports and they were going for $16-17K then at auction…well the market dried up and the avg auction price is $19-20K…so now the avg advertised price is around $23K. I ended up talking them down to $21K. I did a nationwide search and $21K is the cheapest GT, but those ones have cloth…this one has heated leather among other options. Yeah it is my auto…DD, the bad thing is it is almost as fast as my WS.6. May be time to get some work done to the WS.6…but next purchase is a new home so that probably wont happen. ---

Never sell the WS.6…I do have to drive it more. yeah it was crazy how cheap they were going. What it was there were a ton of lease/rental returns and the market was flooded. Now they were all bought up and the supply dropped the prices went up back to a “normal” amount. Figure $21K for a car that stickered for $34K isnt bad. ---

Nice pickup, I dig the color too… I especially like the Stealth Blue, but that’s a REALLY rare color. I’m just waiting for the GT to come out in a 6 speed and for them to get about a year old because it’s insane how cheap they can be bought for now. I just don’t want an auto or else I’d probably trade my car + down payment for one now. ---
