Default Possibly Making The Switch

for the last month or so i have been looking at G8 GT's on the internet and went and test drove a red 09 GT 2 weeks ago....i feel in love lol....i have a 08 Grand Prix GXP that i am making payments on and im pretty sure i can sell it for what the loan has left it not a little more left over....some reasons im lookin at getting rid of the GXP is because the LS4 platform just isnt there and never will be....the trans are extemely weak and cant handle much more then stock power so knowing that if i do any power adders i should have $3,000 sitting in the bank for a built trans....when i bought the GXP i wanted FWD since i was going to drive it in the winter but it is now stored so RWD is def. more appealing....with all that being said i am trying to find a 08 or 09 with low mileage (under 25,000), OEM 19'' rims, in this order of colors. 1. ignition orange metallic 2. stryker blue metallic 3. panther black metallic.....also price cant be much above $25,000.....i came across this one which is about 3 hours from me...does it look like a good deal? i know my 2 favorite colors are the hardest to find but im hoping if the dealership is willing to have it brought to them from where ever that ill be able to get behind the wheel of one.

Looks a little expensive for the mileage but I dunno. If you want it you should do it.

I bought my 08 with 3000 miles for 24.5K but that was a month before GM axed pontiac...

NADA says it should be around $25,500 so it is listed a little high.

Yah, price is way too high, especially for an '08. Thats my favorite color too and my next car of choice when the time is right.

IOM is a rare color but the price is high. That is what I paid for my 09 SBM brand new.
