Post a reply in this thread if:

1. you've taken delivery of a First 888, and willing to share VIN, color, date and state.

2. you have found a First 888 either through the inventory search or by visit at a dealer.

This will save me combing through all the posts to find them. I will maintain and update the list and post it as I can. Keeping fingers crossed I don't have to edit the last line. :rofl:

Also give me any input on other items you might like to see included in the list.


6=V6=base model
msrp 27595 = no options
msrp 29765 = comfort & sound + premium packages

8=V8=GT
msrp 31395 = premium package + all-season tires
msrp 31845 = premium package + sport package

exterior colors self-explanatory, no known stealth blue among 888
interior colors: red = two-tone, onyx/red; onyx = black

At this time (1/21/09) there are known to me only just over 100 of the first 888 as forum members. Check yourself against the list. The remaining unsolds list is undergoing maintenance. I'm still missing a few as to their actual config and what dealer they went to, those numbers are included - any info would be helpful to complete the registry.

I see mine on there but the same dealer had one more...

#47
Black/Black
Premium package only
Carlsbad, CA.

There is another dealer close that has one as well. I will try and swing by to see which one it is. I know these arent sold but not everyone will post here that gets one so it would be good to add them to the lsit so we can see where they all are at least.

Well, I really don't want to do ALL the sifting. That's where helpers come in handy. Check the list as I have updated once again. Here is the data I am collecting.

V60r V8
Exterior Color
Interior Color (note if cloth)onyx or red (=onyx/red)
member id (if purchased by a member here
date of delivery (see above)
State of dealer
MSRP (which will indicate which configuration of options are on car)

I am also putting in dealer names in the database - but won't post it as it could violate advertising rules. I figure the state is vague enough to post. So, if you decipher a list and want to send me info including teh dealer, send it in a PM instead of an open post. Thanks.

Enjoy the list

List updated as of now. Over one third of 888's now on list. Next editions will have to be split due to limitations on file size to upload. If you've got time on your hands and don't see your area represented ( I've got some from ME, MA, CT, RI, NH, NY, NJ, PA, OH, MI, NC, SC, GA, AL, TX, CA, FL but certainly not all by a long shot. It would be good to come up with all of these before they get to the dealer and sold. So any who can, search with the following and you'll get vehicles within 200 miles (up to 25)

http://www.gmbuypower.com/vehiclelocator/locateVehicle.do?isRankVehicle=true&sortType=vehicleRank&displayInTemplate=false&defaultpath=true&hostingSite=gmvs&maximumCount=25&make=pg&postalCode=XXXXX&proximity=200&proximityUnitOfMeasure=MILES&includeDuplicateVendors=true&searchCountry=US&submit=Submit&modelDesignator=2ec69&searchType=0&vendorId=112123.0&style=Sedan&zip=XXXXX&makeId=002&vehicleModel=/images/gmbp/16002/vehicle/2008/med/2008251.gif&year=2008&sellingSource=16&subModel=&subModelId=251&BAC=112123.0&modelId=085&pvc=207&mmc=2ec69&brand=G8%20Sedan&model=G8%20Sedan&type=%20%20%20&typeDescrip=%20%20%20&optionCode=&preferredOptions=&preferredColor=&style=Sedan&sty leDescrip=Sedan&styleId=Sedan

Copy and paste into Word so you can easily edit, subbing your zip for XXXXX in two places, 2EC69 returns GT's, 2ER69 (again in two sposts) returns V6's. You may need to remove spaces added by this site to get a seamless address, copy and paste into your browser - collect the data and post here or PM me. Thanks.

I would add that if you change maximumCount parameter to 50, you can have up to 50 listed in one query. 200 miles may be the maximum search radius.

It was encouraging to find mine on your list #287 with the right color, engine, interior and state. Now all it needs is the right zip code. Has been on train, I'm told, since Feb 27. Wish they had UPS shipment tracking on those trains.

chiefpontiac
03-12-2008, 07:07 AM
Someone at solsticeforum was able to actually track train shipments. But it might discourage instead of encourage you - since rail cars get coupled and uncoupled waiting on consists and may actually sit more than they move.

davefr
03-12-2008, 09:08 AM
Thanks for the GM Buypower link. Editing in the zip code works great since G8 is still not in the pull down menu from the main site.

Does anyone know when a vehicle shows up at GM buypower? Is it upon shipment out of Benecia or receipt by the dealer??

chiefpontiac
03-12-2008, 03:10 PM
Certainly not upon arrival as most of te hunits in eastern US are still in transit.

So far 744 of 888 of the first 888 are accounted for. If you know of any I have not found please let me know so we can have a more complete registry. List is in two parts, pdf files in first post http://www.g8board.com/forums/showpost.php?p=17490&postcount=1 If we can come up with a better place for the list so new owners find it we'll ask to get it moved.

Thanks, Cajun. I saw all the work that went into a list like this when the first 1000 Solstices were built. Of course there was advance knowledge of VINs prior to delivery, IIRC.

What this list allows pre-purchase is the ability of members to find by locale what they are looking for and then perform their own localized search to find the dealer. I have dealer's names in my list but felt at present it wasn't prudent to print them online. I haven't had time to ask, but it would be an admin call to publish the dealer name with the vehicle as it could be considered free-advertising. Of course any questions of whois dealer via PM will be answered. BTW, I used PrimoPDF (freeware) to create the pdf files from an excel spreadsheet. If you don't have acrobat, the same PrimoPDF can translate back into excel and then you can sort and search y state/color/price/whatever Enjoy.

#785 is a black GT, it's on the Showroom Floor at Burns Pontiac in Marlton, NJ.

They have another 888, also a black GT (#105) on the lot. As a matter of fact, that's the one I drove before I bought a white GT w/sunroof (non 888). I didn't get it yet, it was shipped 3/14. Dealer assumes from the docks in CA. Should have it any day.

LOL, yeah, I think the Mustang owners around here learned pretty quickly or have been reading up on it. I think the ones I didn't take down must've gotten beat by the other guy on base with a near identical G8. They don't seem to be as anxious to start crap like they did the first couple days.

One guy in a modified latest model 'Vette wanted to play one night. I'm not that stupid. He would've left me stock. From the evil whistle from under his hood he's got some serious hurt in there.:eek2:

What does this thread have to do with the Target Production Week, and orders?????? Don't we have enough "list" threads already? I want new info dudes!

If someone wants to find a 888 near them or in a certain combo, or if someone wishes to start a 888 club then the info is here. If you don't want to look at this list, then don't.

At the time this list was created there did not appear to be any better section of the forum to place it in.

As far as "new" info, how about that less than 3000 2008 G8's remain untagged, and a paltry 129 are GT's with less than desirable option packages. That means your car is either invoiced to a dealer already, or will have to be a 2009 (unless they are going to miraculously dock and unload more 2008's pretty darned soon) Somebody better buy up those V6's before Pontiac gets the idea that the G8 is not a good seller.

Maybe.... but for only 2K more, I think most people are willing to step up to the V8.... of course, I still don't think the general public even knows this car exists. Maybe once the word gets out, they'll start moving the V6's.

I can't find a single GT in St. Louis now... but there are plenty of V6's.

Just got in under the wire for the loyalty bonus, used some GM points, and the "recent grad" program (supplier price but still able to combine with other incentives). I knew going to school for 20 years would finally pay off!<g>.

Didn't even know about the "First 888" until I Googled the badging from the glove box (and found this site to boot).

If you have one of the first 888 the last three digits of the VIN are 8--, and the dash has a special tag on the passenger side in the brushed aluminum strip.:wink2:

If you have a regular GT the VIN is just a VIN, nothing special, and no dash badge.

Uhhh, the first 888 built as per the title of the thread. Its the last three numbers of the VIN proceeded by 98 and appears as a dash badge on the passengers side. If you don't have the dash badge, you don't have an 888!:wink2:

Ok, this may seem like a stupid question, but I'm new here.

Did all of the first g8 888's have the vin of 88xxx as the number?

I ask as the wife and i just bought a 08 MGM Gt, and its vin is :

6G2EC57Y88L141695

however it has the "first 888" dash trim.

so I'm confused.

:( Sorry to let you know that for your car to be a 888 your vin # would have 88001 to 88888 so it looks like someone put a 888 dash trim on your car so you were correct when you thought that your vin needed to start with 88xxx.
No mater what it's still a great car I love mine hope you fun driving it and welcome to the G8 family. :patriot:

07-29-2009, 09:05 AM
honestly from the vin i had my doubts, but im confused. I dont know how someone would have gotten a first 888 dash plaque, without having a 888 car.. So idk. sadly its hard to get history on used cars...

It is a great car, she loves it and it does drive and handle like a dream, so that much is true! If it is or isnt a 888 car, so be it, but its interesting to see the dash trim on a non vin'd 888 car..

at $29,500, that guy is dreaming lol.

*Most* dealers are always dreaming when it comes to their asking price.

Like today, had some time to waste so went to local dealer who had a used 2001 Blazer for $12k. Insane! Sales guy saw me looking at it and dropped the price to $8k within 2 minutes. Offered me a test drive and on the drive he bumped it to $7k, after the test drive he wanted to talk "numbers". I didnt even need to say a word and the price came down like 40%! KBB is about $5k on it.

But $29k if it had 0 miles, maybe.

If you want to promote your 888, Third Shift Studios makes some great plaques to show it off. It's nice because the First 888 stuff from the OEM is pretty lame...hell you only see the build# off the VIN. I got their shifter plaque and it looks great with the build number and everything.

Yeah it's a nice touch. They can custom match colors and everything if you wish...I decided to keep it OEM looking and match the silver. If you do order one up, make sure you pop the surround silver trim plate off. This way you can get a seamless look. Just pops right off with a small screwdriver or something.

Hello, I test drove a First 888 model in Carson City, NV at Michael Hohl GM Superstore last sunday.

Unfortunately i didn't get a VIN and they auctioned it off on monday so it's no longer on the site (http://www.michaelhohlgm.com/HomePage).
It was a Grey magnetic metallic V6 with the Premium, Comfort & Sound, and 15,000 miles on it.

I was extremely close to buying this one, but i bought a Pacific Slate metallic V6 on Wednesday for a better price. Perfect first car.

Hey! I'm new to the forum. I just traded my '05 Mustang GT with a bunch of mods I had done, for an '08 G8 GT, which I found out is one of the "First 888" (last 4 of the VIN is 88576). I doubt the previous owner was on this forum to keep track of, I think it was an older couple and this was a bit much for them.

I still miss the Stang in a lot of ways, mostly because I customized it and I wanted one for so long, but I wanted one of these for a long time too, and for the price and the milage (12400 at purchase) I couldn't pass it up.
