whiterp199 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well guys I have lost the love for the G8. I still like it but the love I had when I got it is gone. I went and looked at a GMC Sierra tonight and really liked it. Plus I can get into it for a much cheaper payment. Any thoughts I know I will miss the car, but I have been thinking about moving on for a while. So in light of my thoughts flame on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08G8V8 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have 1 of each. Love both, but I will always have a truck and I will always have the G8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71_Denali Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 if you want a sierra, the same body style has been out since 07, so you might even find a used one for even less. but if you want new, the new body style should be out next year. just food for thought!

Marylander Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Honestly, I came to the same crossroads with my Corvette. I liked it; it was a great car, but the love was gone. I'd done everything I wanted to do to it, and then it was just sitting in the garage a lot. I sold it, never looked back, and really don't miss it. Go with your gut -- find something that excites you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I thought about it before because I really want a Tahoe, but I refuse to give this up and will keep it indefinitely.. once it is paid off, I will try and get another car so this doesn't have to be a DD anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiterp199 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Thanks guys. I am going to pick up a used one for sure. Hopefully I can add some picks tomorrow. Sorry Brendon the mini is just a little small for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'm with you. I stopped on my way home last night to look at a 2008 Sierra Denali that only has 25k miles on it. I'm really interested but have to sell my SS first instead of trading it in. Good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egott_91 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 You can stop in Indiana on your transition from WI to PA this fall and I'll trade you my Colorado for the G8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongosg8 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Ray I was in the same position a couple weeks back. I stopped at the dealer where I purchased my G8 ..they had a nice Sierra Denali. Couldn't do it. the trade offer I felt was low and they wouldn't budge too much on the price so I walked. A week later I was glad I did because two people gave me compliments on my G8 on how nice my Pontiac is & you don't see them too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 I was thinking the same thing but I was cut a heck of a deal on this It is not fully loaded by any means but the deal was too good to pass up. So far I have not missed the g8 at all. Of course that may change in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiterp199 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Congrats, Ray! Now you'll needs new sig, too! I was thinking that, but I do want to stare at the 8 for a little while longer. Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vink70 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 My truck was one of the best purchases I made. Going to a full size truck was worth it for every penny. I traded my 08 for a '12 and absolutely love it. Better get to debadging it already there is a debadge thread on here already. Most dont believe me but I went from driving 60-62 getting 15mpg to driving 56-57 and getting 22mpg. Also Im getting the 16mpg driving the easier way on e85. Now that E85 is $0.80 cheaper (with our big trucks we need it to be around $0.50 to be worth it) so I assume its flex fuel capable and has the 5.3L. I love mine and you will too. keep it clean!

McDuff Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Good luck Ray with the new wheels. A guy at work just got rid of his pristine G8 and picked up a new Dodge Ram. The trucks are really popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Sweet ride Ray. Did you have to get new plates or will you be able to keep TYRFRYR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Stin Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thought about selling my G8 also, but not going too. Ordering new headers & getting a bigger cam for this baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
