    I'd check the carfax on that thing...

    G8's are holding price pretty well as of yet, I'd venture to say something isn't 110% correct about it.

    Agree, was looking a little bit for a G8, never seen one under $20 with that low miles... $75 carfax report is well worth it if you are SERIOUSLY ready to sign dotted line. Certified pre-owned means what? Warranty thru 100k? Otherwise it don't mean squat!



    Good Luck!

    My GXP was certified pre owned and it came with free maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations,etc) for 2yr/30,000 12mo/12,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, and of course the 5yr/100,000 mile powertrain warranty from the original in service date. The biggest advantage to me is the better finance rates, and access to new car warranties (gm bumper to bumper through 100,000 miles etc.)

    Carfax IMO isn't worth $25. I've seen many cars with perfectlly clean history, yet...they've had things done or lots of damage. Carfax only picks up the info if it's supplied. When it's not supplied, you have no way to know via carfax. An example is a car I bought. Carfax said no accidents no anything ever, good maintenance at a dealer etc. Looking closer the driver entire door was replaced. Merely saying, there is no replacement for looking over a car yourself.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
