I got rid of my 08 grand prix gxp with 71k as a trade in got a measly 9500 for it ... Too many issues, tranny at 45k, throttle body at 69k, needs alignment too often, burns oil, ISS was starting to make annoying clicking noises.. . will always miss the car tho ... its been a good four years and appreciate everyone's help and answers here on this forum...

Nice infinity, is that awd based on the maxima? I had the dealer up to 12500 for my 06 monte with 50k for a malibu. But i didnt end up liking the ugly 2 tone interior. I have no issues yet but im getting nervous as the miles keep adding.

Only thing related between a g and a maxima is the engine.

the maxima and the g are different , the g is based on the fm platform same one as 350z/370z and its rear biased awd untill it detects slip it can transfer up 50% to the front which is already a nice upgrade over FWD IMO , love it handles turns much better great traction off the line just need to get rid of the comfort touring tires on it
