No, I am putting my wife in the orange one and then giving her 07 Chrysler Aspen to one of my salesmen and then selling his 2000 Crown Vic with 177K miles on it! I am buying it through my buisness so there was a little bit of "musical cars" needed to make it happen but it worked out fine. Beth is going to love the GT and she likes that color better. I love that color as well but if I could have gotten the GT in this blue when I ordered it, I would have chosen it over the orange. That blue color they offered in 2008looked too purple to me but turns out it was a VERY rare color.

beautiful cars

Is the GXP production finished, or will they be available until Pontiac closes down?

You are definitely a blessed man, for sure, BJ. Awesome GXP. I can't believe there were only 47 in that color (explains why I couldn't find one easily. lol) I like that one, and the the darker red color. A dark gray, or silver might do, too. (I'll never get a Black car again. EVER lol)

There is a low miles 09 used GXP in STRYKER BLUE I found searching autotrader.com

Where did you find the breakout for the colors?

Any deals being cut on these right now, and if so how good are they?

Are the just the standard PMD incentives as listed on the site or "really good" ones?

Thanks...Jeff

Jeff:
Pretty much the standard incentives now - about $4,000 to $4,500 if you are a GM owner. No more G8s will be built - they are all done and the 2009 GXP will be a one-year only model. The Stryker Blue and the Pacific Slate are the two most rare colors. I got the production figures from the G8 Forum, see attached.

BJ

Congrats BJ! I'm happy with the performance on my 09.5 GT, so I can imagine how much go that car has. Ironic that the most powerful factory "Pontiac" ever produced will be the last one. You'll have a collectors item on your hands.

I've gotta step it up then...nice BJ, nice..

Yeah, shes a beauty!

Nice find BJ.

I checked national inventory the other day (day after or so you bought) and none listed anymore in S.BLUE.

I think there was one or two left in P.SLATE

I looked at the colors using the tools on the Pontiac site.

Neat tool, but I dont think you can appreciate the color until its in front of you, like the S BLUE.

I might have to test drive one of these. :)

Wonder if the Govnt Incentive would apply to some of my old parts / project cars if I "drove" those babies in the lot? ;)
Jeff

Jeff: LOL, I think you might just get away with that! You would certainly qualify for the GM Loyalty discount!

Hendrick over in Carey had a Stryker Blue GXP and I thought I had it all wrapped up, but they sold it out from under me! I was planning to drive over and pick it up last Friday - but when I found out on Wednesday that they had sold it I had to really scramble to find this one in Texas and get it tagged with my name! I have yet to see a Stryker Blue car in-person - can't wait to see it. My Ignition Orange was the same way, I didn't see it until the car was delivered to the dealership - website only! I sure wasn't disappointed in it and don't think I will with the Stryker Blue either. It really reminds me of Lucern Blue and I just had to have it!

Congrats on a great car Milt, I have just put down 2000.00 on my cc and am waiting for the paperwork to get done. Bought ONE of the last TWO unsold Pacific Slate GXP in the country.

Now all I have to do is decide on flying a 1000 miles to get it or waiting for one of my transport trucks to pick it up. Either way I can't wait.:D

Stan

How are you guys looking up this "national inventory"?

Hey sprint I just sent you a PM, hope it helps.

Stan

what to do... color i want (pacific slate metallic) with auto trans or manual trans I want with the second choice of color (magnetic gray metallic) ??? Give me your imput guys need some info to help in my decision.

SPRINT6OHC,

I am sure you have used the color tool on the Pontiac site that shows all of the available colors and different views, but wanted to pass this one in case it helps others:

If you load all of the colors one at a time, then browse back through them they load a lot faster so gives you quick ability to go "back and forth" for quick comparrission.

Neat tool:

That MAGNETIC GRAY looks pretty sharp! PS might not be available new anymore, but I havent looked since 7-06-09

Good luck.
Jeff

NATIONAL INVENTORY CHECK:

A few have asked me about how to check inventory in PMs.

DIRECT LINK FOR GXPs INVENTORY:

http://www.pontiac.com/locateVehicle...ximumCount=100

Inventory will change so I wouldnt rely on this search above in a day or so as it may go to a chached page and show old inventory levels from today, I dont know. Probably safer to do a NEW SEARCH each day or whenever you want using tips below.

FULL PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING NAT INVENTORY:

CLICK on link below and select LOCATE A VEHICLE at top of page.

Put in your ZIP CODE and click on ADVANCE SEARCH.

Click on 150 + miles plus in drop down box.

Click on YEAR (2009) at top of page and MODEL down toward bottom of page: G8.

G8s inventory comes up on page.

Look for TRIM at top of page and click on drop down option box and SELECT GXP and then UPDATE and all GXPs in National Inventory will come up.

Hope this helps....Jeff

http://www.pontiac.com/showHome.do?s...atch_|_pontiac

That locator only gives the closest 50 cars. Even if you hack the URL string to give a higher max count. It's not a national inventory. To get that you have to keep altering the zip code to go farther and farther from your home.

Exactly, 50 cars or up to around 250 miles.

Stan

Actually you can change "proximity=" in the URL and increase the mileage. By default it starts at 300. No matter what it won't give you more than 50 cars however.

Hey Jeff,
I just got back from Dayton - drove the 71 GTO. My GXP is being delivered tomorrow between 9:00 AM and Noon. I'll post up some arrival pics tomorrow night and give you my first impression then.
