Default 2008 used GXP

Some background...I am a salesman at a dealership in NE PA. We are a no haggle dealer and sometimes I see cars I would love to have. Today we got in a Used 08 Grand Prix GXP with 9500 miles. You name it and it basically has it except for stuff like navigation, but it has the heads up display, leather, roof etc.

Now you may be like ok well whats the big deal....well our You Pay no haggle price is 18,999!!!!! I was flippin out....I wish I was in need of another car because that would be in my driveway.

On a side note do they all come with drilled rotors? because this one has them.

To answer your original question, they all had those brakes. And yea good deal on an '08. Sometimes I wish I would have waited and picked up a slightly used SS when I got mine instead of getting brand new.

Good lord. That is a damn good price.

What color and what would you pay for my Gf's 3 series? I think I might upgrade her car for her. You don't mind my name isn't on any of the titles right?

Unfortunately we arent good on trades because of our best price...so cant use from end profit to show blue book on a trade in. Best is to sell out right then buy

YT2 and VN9 are RPO codes related to rentals, I bet most have the code and are part of the rental fleet buyback program.

So if you hear that its an "GM Executive Car", thus the low miles, I would run away lol

Mine is a former rental, but honestly, there's nothing wrong with getting an ex-rental car. You just have to do all the things you'd normally do with buying a car. Look at the tires. Are they evenly worn? Do they match? Is there any paint work? Does it have a clean car-fax? Are there any warranty claims?

You CAN get a REALLY good deal on former rental cars. And, just like any other car, you can easily get screwed. You just need to do your homework. For me, I have a car that is basically new, and I paid almost $12000 under sticker. I can't complain in the least, and it runs, drives, acts, and smells like a brand new car.

Mine was a "GM Executive Fleet Car".
Later found out it was a rental.
I extended the warranty to 5 yr bumper to bumper. Its a great car w/ just 12k on it now.

I will always be an impulse buyer, got lucky, but should have checked it better (has curb rash on one rim) It still has the mfg assemlby marks on it.
