Default Traded the G8 (indiana)

Warranty was up and had enough of fixing it. Never have I had to go through with the car out of the dozens ive been through.

Anyways, traded it in at Andy Mohr nissan on lafayette rd in indianapolis. Got $22,000 for the trade so you know what they have in it if you are interested in it.

Buyer beware, and good ******* luck to ya if you do buy it. By the way, theres still a god damn rattle in the passenger door the dealer has "corrected" twice now. I doubt they did anything at all but who knows.

The G8 was a really nice car, but I just think mine had a rough beginning. Maybe when the 2014 SS comes out Ill give it another go with a new one.

My G8 had dash rattles and one that sounded like it was coming from below the passenger seat. Never went down any dirt/bumpy roads and only had about 60K miles.

Good riddance.

My GXP I bought new is still tight as a drum. It has never had any issues or needed repairs and doesn't even have the dreaded steering shake. It was wearing the front tires funny but the dealer said they corrected that.

I have someone that wants to buy it and now I'm thinking as good as it is I should just keep it.

How many miles does it have?
How often do you drive it?

24,000 miles, occasionally driven around town and has gone on a lot of road trips to Vegas, SoCal, northern AZ, etc. It was eating the shoulders of both the front tires and the dealer adjusted the front suspension under warranty.

Not enough miles to determine anything. I had about 68K on mine.

Okay we get it, some people have or had issues with them. Others of us have not. I've had my 08 since Aug 09. Never an issue minus the bringing it to the dealer for the brake pedal recall and airbag recall. I've got a little less then 50k on her and they are not easy miles at all. I've had the mods in my sig since 1200 miles and beat her pretty good. What I don't understand is why still come to the G8 section of the board and remind those of us that still enjoy ours how badly and why you hated yours all the time. Maybe you had a lemon, or hell maybe even in Austrailia they have their Monday and Friday build cars (lol). But don't constantly bash the car in the G8 section of the board to those of us who actually enjoy ours, because you didn't. Or hell keep doing just that, it is a free country after all and I don't own the internet. Just my .02!

Damn dude did I hurt your feelings ragging on what a nightmare MY g8 was? Plenty of other threads about selling/trading their cars as well.

Yeah, a lot of people are really sensitive about their cars. I mean, I bought mine new with 3 miles on the clock and I've had a crap ton of issues as well. I stuck them out and still have it today, but the amount of stuff wrong is astounding.

I just noticed a few weeks ago that the windshield is delaminating near the top corners as well. Not great quality on these cars, IMO

We had the common 09 issue of water from the A/C evap puddling in the driver's footwell. Got it fixed under warranty and that's been it. 3 years, 22k and no other issues ... tire wear has been VERY even.

Interior is a bitch to maintain but the car drives like a dream.
