Used 2009 Pontiac G8 Sedan vehicle for sale in Vancouver

NOT a good buy BUT I may get on this and haggle them to death. See what happens. These cars pop up about once every 4 - 6 months.

My G8 has the V6. I'd trade the Regal in for that one ^

V6 = DD / Corner carver
V8 = All around :sweetjesus: machine

Rebuilds on high end cars usually mean severe damage. Even now, being worth $22,000, it would take $14,500 to write off, it only gets worse the farther back the accident was.

$14,500 is a lot of money, and now that I look at those pictures again, the front end seems raised, with the front wheels appearing to be pushed back a bit.


Some cars do not deserve rebuild titles, as their current resale value is lower than most average fender bender repair costs. My MK2 Jetta was like that, $2,000 repair, $500 car.

Fair point, though I know some areas give salvage titles for relatively minor things.

Either way, if I was wealthy I'd buy it and if it's compromised use it to hoon around the track without worrying about crashing it since it's already running on borrowed time.

Ok, I think this is my all time favourite CL find. It's a rare and offered for a great price. The gasser on the back doesn't hurt, either.

^ That thing is badass. If it had a big 'ol diesel in it, I think it would be an easy sell for a lot of people.

There are a lot that are poorly executed - that one turned out beautiful.
Bonus for a cool-ass sculpture in the background.

in a classic, i'd choose a 454 over a diesel any day. this is something people want to tweak a little and work on themselves, and the 454 is leagues ahead of a diesel in both of those categories. a diesel is better suited to hauling loads but the massive displacement of the 454 makes it no slouch at that itself.

i also really, really like this. a little piece of every guy has got to enjoy this beast.

Maybe Mindbomber, but that is like 1.5-2 stars, not very luxury VIP :(

For that price range, this is the only G8 I would buy:

Poniac G8 GXP

too bad that 48 doesnt have a duramax in it, that sculpture is probably worth more than most houses

Love this truck! The 20's might be a bit over the top, but it suits the look. I would love to rock something like this. Minus the camper of course.

Possibly the best sleeper I've ever seen and only $1k

I've always liked the idea of stuffing powerful engines in regular small cars but god the Neon is just so ugly with those stupid round headlights.

FS: 2002 Honda S2000 - 94000KM
Clean title
Needs new paint on front bumper but sounds to be in decent shape. Get your summer in!

jpark 07-28-2014 11:14 PM

^thats a great deal

Shark Tank 07-28-2014 11:38 PM

Holy shit!!!!
2006 Subaru STI

There's at least 20k in high quality aftermarket parts on the car.

This would be an ideal track car. At first glance price may seem high but if u factor in everything done to the car this a good deal.

dared3vil0 07-28-2014 11:45 PM

$46,500... Does it include gold bars to make up the difference in price to actual value?

This thread is about good buys.

Plus...I can deal with carbon fiber hoods but any more and they just start looking like they grabbed spares from Pick N Pull and forgot to paint it.

Seller states the pics are from the previous owner. I wonder if it's still in the same shape.

Not the bumper, that's for sure.

If you like your S2000 with subtle mods, here is another good buy: JDM springs, wheels, and aftermarket deck/subwoofer enclosure
