They wouldnt back off the purchase price because they gave him more for his trade than they should. They give in one place and take from another, the dealer will only bend over so much

Nice car man. I tried to sell the wife on one before we got the 300, but that obviously didn't work.

i figure the car was worth $26k or so but i had to pay $27k. at the same time they gave me $500 more than i thought my trade was worth so i would say i got out of there for $26,500.

i did do a few little mods so far. got the v6 door handles and tails wich are plain(not rice like the gt stuff). debadge it other than the pontiac arrows. a good detail. also got hp tuners with the 2 bar os, a 250kpa map and a lc1.

it is ready for a little boost. going to start out low and tune it up to the limit of the stock fuel system. i hear that is around 425rwhp. since i dont have to build an entire car and not even mess with the fuel system at first it shouldn't take years like some of the other projects around here.

Have fun finding replacement parts for it some day.

Badass car, it's just a shame that its future is dead(unless they plan to market under Chevy)

I assume worst case you could get parts from Australia, it seems GM plans to keep Holden

LOL, then he might as well buy 2 G8s and store one as a parts car. Shipping from Australia wouldn't be much fun
