I've been a G8 owner for as almost a year (May 2020.) I have the base 2008 V6. SV6 Commodore. I've noticed a lot of G8 owners complain about the positioning of the window switches. Understandable. But I HATE the placement of the truck release button!
I have a G8 base model that I bought in 2008 new. I like it even if it only has 270HP. The window switch location was just like my BMW E30 so was no big deal as well as the manually adjustable seats. It’s terrible you have to actually move and turn a dial. Lol. Yeah it scrapes still does mine is pretty rough on the bottom.
Such great cars!! I was sad to let mine go but sometimes it’s time to try other things. It’s sad when that happens - but the way the market is you should be able to get top dollar!
As a GT owner, I hate the typical GM cheapness. Replacing parts that most other cars will never have an issue with. Besides that, I love the car and plan to own it forever.
Actually looking to buy a GXP. I need more power lol. I'm getting out of a 2011 Dodge Charger RT Max AWD. (I actually have a way to force RWD it so yes I've been having fun) My question to you is have you sold it yet and if not how much are you willing to part with it for?
@@FrAnC15c0V3G4 you need to do your homework kid. Go look up tazer by Zautomotive then apologize. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ If you just coming into the car scene do your research before you say something. Makes you look not intelligent. 3 settings come with the tazer and a bunch of extra goodies like linelock. Forced AWD, Forced RWD and Normal mode. That pic on my name is my AWD doing a burn out.
My five things I hate about my G8 GT : strut bushings go bad, super expensive aftermarket audio options, Horn is too quiet, A/C belt will jump off at high rpm, insurance is too high.. I really love the car but I'm planning to trade it for a Mercury Marauder..
Not hard to change the horn, just get an aftermarket one. In regards to the belt jumping off would be done to a misalignment and I'm guessing it is the A/C compressor which is the cause and so it would be easy to get that sorted out.
Looks like a twin to the one you sent me.
Totally does!!
The first one is a win to me. I love it being the monster others don't know about. Until you open it up of course.
I had one and wish I still did. Silver with red interior. Auto with sunroof. Too bad they didn’t offer a nav at the time.
Ooooh the red interior was nice . . . I am with you - miss mine too!!
I was debating on the GXP or the Cadillac CTS-V3 for a while. Got the CTS-V3 but I still want that GXP🤾♂️
Great choice - but the GXP was a ton of fun so I don’t blame you!
@@GuysTalkingCars 😎
Clean asf 🔥
Thanks Torey!!
@@GuysTalkingCars psm and ssm are the best colors to me and the gxp(silver) is on my must have. I have white gt I love these cars!!!
U aint lying about the scraping ):
Exactly!!! I’ve had to refinish the underside on both my cars! $$$
I get mad each time
I agree with everything in here. Bugs me that the previous owner hit some curbs. Underside of the front bumper is all scraped up!
Exactly!! And those bumpers are hard to find now!
Can’t wait to see the new ride!!!!
I'm getting mines in the summer
How much to buy an or Lee's down payment 🤔
Not sure what APR you’d get on a G8 - but the prices on these are over $30k, sometimes over $40k
Have you sold it ?
Yes it did sell. Thanks for dropping in and checking out the channel! 💪🏼

If those are your only gripes....the only one ill agree with is the front bumper cover. ive got a gt.
Did you sell this? I am interested if you did not.
Ct5 v black wing?🤔
That would be an amazing choice!! Love what I see for that vehicle.
#7 the trunk release is inside glove box 😂
Yes that Kinda sucks!!
Lower the back, lifts the front end up a tad
