Which car would you buy?

[UR LOSN]

OK, so here is the scoop. I just put in my 2 weeks notice at my current job. My new career is giving me the opportunity to purchase a NEW car. My current 2000 GTP is mechanicly sound, but it is not aesthetically pleasing to look at. I will sometimes be entertaining potential clients, and will drive it a MAx up to 500 miles one way..so it needs to be reliable.

I am leaning toward the G8.... but need others input....

I will do a Lease to own.....if I buy NEW.

This car will be STRICTLY used for buisness only...and well go to the store and that sorta thing. STOCK all the way down to the K&N drop in filter that I will add

G8 GT FTW... lots of room for Adult clients

the Dealership where I bought my 2001 GTP currently has 2 midnight blue, 2 dark grey, 2 black, and I think 1 red.

I have only seen a dark grey, and a red one driving around town.

I LOVE that blue. I wouldnt mind having the 6spd GXP, but I would settle for a GT...

 

[UR LOSN]

If I buy new, I want to buy something I like..and want to keep...rather than knowing I settled for this car and end up trading it back in on the car I originally wanted.. might as well have all the bells and whistles...

the price I was shooting for was around 28-35K

Dealership where I got my GP has an 05 Bonneville GXP in showroom condition.


Might be able to check inventory, its behind the building I know that much, possibly being held till the financing goes thru.

G) None of the above...get your car painted, or "aesthetically pleased" for a few bucks and call it good. You know the car, like the car, and have the history of it to know it is reliable.

If it was me, I would get

97-04 Buick regal GS or a 97-99 Buick Riviera

Why stick with the gm family?
How much are they willing to pay?

Id say
1. G37 or G354 4dr
2. A new maxima
3. Lincoln MKX or MKZ
Lexus es300

i voted G8 GT!! i would stay far away from the gp gxp's, my cousin just bought one only a month & a half ago w/35,??? miles on it & the tranny blew the other day. its funny his next car is between a g8 gt or a gto!! good luck with the car hunt!!

to be honest, I never really liked those cars. I never really got into them. I know Pontiacs which is why I wanted to stick with them.:th_winking:

I had honestly thought about it....but I would like something new for once....:th_scratchhead:

I know she will do great in winter... but I see myself putting another 10k into this car just from previous owners lack of upkeep.

that is a 1/3 of a new car......

What about the trans am? What dressings is she wearing on the outside and whats under the hood?

People say G8 GT, why :s did I miss something? The GXP is lightyears better, the GT wasn't offered in a 6 speed manual the GXP was theres a pretty big difference right there. The LS3 is a nice beast over 400 hp and 400 ft lbs and looks better IMO. I definitely voted the GXP for sure.

 

[Vespers47]

I only said GXP because its newer but for the price range, ur better off with a G8 GT 2008. Swap out the entire stock suspension and your good to go.. unless you like the soft bouncy feel when you hit a pot hole...

I love the GXP looks, inside and out, just wish the vehicle was a bit more "user friendly"... everythings in the way of everything on it.

If your keeping it, i'd say G8, if its a company vehicle, screw it, go Impala SS...

if you pick any of those cars over a trans am then youre a woman and youre not a woman, are you?

I dont know about the GXP being "light years better." Sure it has a way more powerful engine and some facia work, but it is basically the same car. Plus the sticker for it right now is still a little to high. You can get a New G8 GT for about 10k less and pocket that money or add some headers and exhaust :th_biggrin2:

But you know UR, you are gonna drive that "Business" car to death :th_nanana: If I had a GT as my "business car" I would totally forget about my poor GTX, she would be stuck outside in the elements while the new G8 basks in the glory of my garage. :th_depressed:

 

[BwolfGT]

G8 GXP for sure

 

[Vespers47]

hmm... seems lots of "women" like the new G8... I just like its looks... I respect the performance of the GXP... its a step in the right direction for the "New" Pontiacs... but i still think it needs LOTS of work... I agree with GeddyLee... go GT, and pocket the other 10K... =]

lol, I had been thinkig that over actually. which car would sit outside.... that is another moral dilema that I will have to think about in the short future..
