WTT/WTS: 2008 PBM G8 GT with one off modifications
Year: 2008
Make: Pontiac
Model: G8 GT
Price: $26,000
Mileage: 24,000
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): VA
Color: PBM
Transmission: Automatic
Drivetrain: Rear Wheel Drive
Engine: L76 - 6.0L
LS Engine?: Car has LS engine
I bought the car in May of 2008 in Jacksonville, FL. The car lived in Florida for all of its life, except for the last four months, where it has been in VA. It has been garage kept its entire life and has never seen snow or ice. It is a fairly unique piece, as it has a factory custom interior and is the only G8 in the United States with a MAF-less Australian OTR CAI.
The car is currently located in Roanoke, VA. The G8 really is the only one like it in the states: it is Panther Black Metallic with both the Sport and Premium packages (so it has every available option, including moonroof), but it has a factory installed interior done in yellow and black (and is fully covered under the warranty). The CAI was ordered from an Australian Company, and I am the only person with it (and it performs much better than any one on the market domestically).
Mod list:
BMR Trailing Arms - $240
Pedders Subframe bushings - $246 (uninstalled)
HID headlights, 10000K - $150 (uninstalled)
SS Inductions OTR (over the radiator) CAI - $600
Fasterproms ported intake and TB - $500
EFI Alchemy Dyno Tune - $600
Billet Prototypes Catch Can (black) - $110
Stolen Fox H-pipe and straight pipes and custom tips - $200
Holden Engine Covers, coated in special yellow/black paint scheme - $600
One off Factory Interior - $2600
15% tint all the way round - $150
I know I included all of the trivial crap, such as the tint, but I think its important I make sure you guys know how much I've put into this car (not counting labor costs)... Also, all of the performance/suspension mods were done by EFI Alchemy in Jacksonville, FL, which is a top of the line LSX shop. But everything was professionally done and the car runs like a top. Car will have the remainder of the 5 year/ 100K mile warranty, and it has been meticulously maintained, with all services being done and oil being changed every 3,000 miles (Royal Purple).
I recently took the car to Carmax just to get an appraisal, and they said they would give me $25,000 for it. USAA also had one of their appraisers come out and give an estimate on how much they think the car is worth, and the number they came up with was $27,500. The Kelly Blue Book Private Party Value is $27,060, and that doesn't include the mods or the one off factory interior. I think my price is more than fair, but I am willing to come down a little bit if needed. The only trades I'm really interested in, is a 1999-2004 C5, automatic (I know), with less than 120,000 miles (plus some cash obviously). Also, if interested, I have a 10' by 6' Australian flag I can throw into the sale as well ($700). I got the flag in Germany during the 2006 World Cup, and have been using it as an attention grabber when I attend car shows (it works extremely well).
Please feel free to PM me or ask here for any additional info. Please leave negative comments to yourself, and please don't waste my or your time by egregiously low balling. Enjoy the pictures.

I will now accept 97-98 C5's for trade as I learned the ECM swap to the newer 99-04 ECM isnt too hard... Feel free to offer up almost anything, you never know until you ask...
