Used Car of the Day: 2009 Pontiac G8
Today we bring you a car that remains one of my favorite casualties of the great bailouts/bankruptcies of the late Aughts -- a 2009 Pontiac G8.
This one has a V6 and 190,000 miles on the odo.
It needs transmission work, plus some minor interior work. The body has some dents and dings.
Besides that, our seller says the engine runs well, the A/C blows cold, and the heat, is, well, hot.
It could use a paint job as well, it seems.
This car is in Kentucky and the asking price is $3,500.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The biggest "knock" against the G9 at the time was its awful interior. Great car otherwise.
Third rate vehicle that was already ancient when brought here. You stick a pig nose on a rabbit but that doesn't make it a pig.
