They had issues when they were new too. I could have gotten a manual back in the day but the issues, wheel-hop and modern six gear design had me going auto on my new GXP purchase instead. No regrets.

I have seen a multitude of G8s with individual LEDs going out in the 3rd brake light. Something to be weary of when purchasing.

I currently own a G8 GXP M/T. Kooks L/T, intake, tune, and Pedders XA coilovers. I have around 58K miles, no issues other then road wear and tear. I hope I own several more GXP's in my life time, this really is in my top 5 cars to own. (affordable cars to own, we could talk for years if we had millions to spend) At this time I am looking for a cheap car so i can keep miles off of her.

Oh and I have no kids, I just love four doors. Owned a GTO and a Formula before this.

I got $17,000 for my 2008 GP GXP for a trade in to buy my 09 G8 GT, but I owed 23K on the GP, that was in August 2010....I see there is a G8 GXP for sale in Edmonton for 35K.

30-35k is about what G8 GXPs are going for depending on mileage.

I have been tracking ebay almost daily for months and yes people have been asking that much. Very few cars have been selling for 35K.
