canadianpanther 05-13-2009, 09:03 AM I'm in Ottawa. Not a GT owner yet but I'm trying hard to fix that. If anyone knows where I can get an '09 (new or used), PSM or MSM color with onyx interior, please let me know.
Stannic 05-13-2009, 02:04 PM I'm in Ottawa. Not a GT owner yet but I'm trying hard to fix that - if anyone knows where I can get an '09 (new or used), white, black or grey, please let me know.
Check Surgenor Pontiac (895 St. Laurent Blvd). I was talking to them about the charcol one they have on their lot back on Monday. It was there then. Don't know about now though. It's still listed on autotrader if you wanted to look at it.
Stannic 05-13-2009, 02:05 PM I'm from London. Picking up my Liquid Red G8 GT on Friday! Can't wait.
canadianpanther 05-13-2009, 02:37 PM Just got back from Surgenor. The car has the Premium and Sport packages, has 14,000 km and they want $32,000 for it. It's in good but not perfect shape. I think the price is high.
Stannic 05-13-2009, 06:40 PM Just got back from Surgenor. The car has the Premium and Sport packages, has 14,000 km and they want $32,000 for it. It's in good but not perfect shape. I think the price is high.
Did they offer any incentives on it? Or is that the bottom line price?
If that's the bottom line price, yeah a little high.
Setterman 05-13-2009, 11:00 PM I'm from Kitchener, picked up my new G8 last week, one of the last Magnetic Gray Metallic G8's in Southern Ontario, and glad to have it.
Excellent board, found the bluetooth option on this board, purchased it last night, just waiting for it to arrive.

Yep, looks identical to mine except for the window tint, and I think you even live in the same general area of Guelph that I do (off Grange somewhere?) have seen you go past a couple of times :-)
microELVIS 06-14-2009, 02:46 PM Ottawa here
I did a finance take over on mine, waiting for it to pass safety now on a ball joint. Ya i know, dont ask me. I've been waiting for this stupid part since teusday.
As soon as I can figure out how to get pictures off of the darn iphone I'll post them for opinions on which decals to lose and which ones to keep. Its decorated like a pacecar or something.
Sowerballs 06-16-2009, 01:14 PM Well - I think I might be the only one in Canada with a GXP. Bought it in Texas and shipped it up....picked it up last night. I test drove the GT, but missed the stick. And all I can say is....wow. It is a nuts car.

NightwingIII 07-13-2009, 09:53 PM Heyyyyyy,
Ajax Here. Mine should be in the driveway by the end of the month. Hopefully sooner.
Good to meet you all.
Do any of you gather for meets or such?
G8 Toronto 07-13-2009, 10:22 PM Hey Nightwing, I'm also in Ajax.
There seem to be a few of us in this area tho not everyone seems to be on this board.
I found another GT just 2 streets away that is the twin to my MGM even with my chrome grills and 6.0L V8 badging.
Everytime I pass by his house I wonder what my car is doing in his driveway. :)
Welcome aboard!
NightwingIII 07-14-2009, 01:53 AM Might be the same one that is two streets away from me as well. :driving:
There are a few in Durham. Last Saturday I ran into two other G8's at an intersection (what are the odds) in Oshawa, a red one and a black one.
NightwingIII 07-14-2009, 08:34 PM Yeah seen a few in my area. Not many. But enough to get a gathering at one point. LOL
Project Whiplash 07-14-2009, 09:21 PM Check out www.ontariog8club.com
Also every wed night its a open invite. the timmies at KC thats at 401 and Kennedy rd in Scarborough 8pm. Ill be there tomorrow night..
jimsimpsinhk 07-14-2009, 09:52 PM Wow, lots of G8's in Durham. I am in Whitevale (North Pickering), which is just a couple kms over from Ajax. A Durham meet sure sounds like a good idea!
NightwingIII 07-14-2009, 10:13 PM I know every Sat there is a old car meet at the parking lot in Ajax Canadian Tire. I know the 300 and chargers meet there lately. Started for them last year.

peterg22000 12-31-2009, 06:08 PM wow you traveled far for that.
Knickle 02-03-2010, 10:18 PM Chalk up another mark on the Ontario list. Although I have only registered today, I've been lingering in the background for nearly a year.
I bought my 09 G8GT last April and aside from the $1.20 washer mod she is bone stock. The Solo exhausts have caught my eye... so we shall see. :)
I also want to add that I've been suffering withdrawl symptoms ever since I put the car in storage for the winter. :banghead:
NightwingIII 02-04-2010, 07:36 AM Looks like another Durham G8.
If you want a first hand impression of the Solo Exhuast be happy to give it to you.
Can't wait for Spring.
Knickle 02-04-2010, 08:59 AM Thanks for the offer, I may have to take you up on that. :cool:
GT Drew 02-04-2010, 07:01 PM It was worth the drive, Peter. The car had 979 kms when I bought it.
Metromiller 02-04-2010, 11:22 PM Trenton here! (an hour east of Oshawa, an hour west of Kingston on the 401)
Anyway, I'm picking up my black G8 GT Saturday (6th) and I can't wait. I just registered yesterday and this is my first post. I browsed this site a lot as a guest and did more research on this purchase/vehicle than on anything I've EVER bought. I'm very excited and even though I've enjoyed quite a few test drives, I'm looking forward to my first REAL drive. I'm also looking forward to chatting it up with everyone and getting advice on all things G8!
First up: winter tires, tint, any recalls or common problems I should be looking for right away?
radtech 02-25-2010, 06:12 PM Colborne here! not far from Trenton. But always in Pickering seeing that I work there.

I currently run back and forth between Toronto and Trenton, I'll keep an eye on a G8 with an exhaust on the 401, lol...
radtech 02-26-2010, 06:40 AM I've seen one G8 like your in my travels. It was early in the morning. I'm always on the road for 5:30am.
dastos 02-27-2010, 02:22 PM Windsor here. They have a red G8 GXP at Andre Lanoue's in Chatham 6spd manual, red, no sunroof very nice. I wish they brought it over here new.
Hey is that your car I often see parked in a driveway on Ritson?

It might be mine... My parents live near Ritson and Conlin, their house faces Ritson and I park there when I visit often.
Otherwise, I'm the black G8 GT driving around with this unique LED setup for the lights:

I too have a PBM GT, but the one on Ritson I'm talking about is a burgundy GT south of Rossland on the east side.

Turbo301 08-16-2010, 11:49 AM MSM GT in London, Ontario; my brother's SRM GT is also in London.
Rich G 08-16-2010, 02:43 PM lot of us around here...
Turbo301 08-16-2010, 02:48 PM Maybe SW Ontario should have a meet sometime!
Canadarob 08-16-2010, 04:16 PM I always see an older woman in a PBM G8 in London, not sure on the trim, but doubt she will ever be on here lol. Also, another PBM but a GT for sure, as he sped past me while I was in the turning lane??
Turbo301 08-17-2010, 06:46 AM I saw that PBM with the older lady driving just yesterday! It is a GT, which struck me as somewhat funny because she did NOT look like the average driver of a car like that :).
There is a PBM GT with large (likely 20") chrome wheels in East London that I've seen being driven by an older man. Is that the one that sped past you?
Canadarob 08-17-2010, 07:12 AM Possibly, I wasn't really looking, just saw as he floored it past me, while I'm not moving.
I12XLR8 10-26-2011, 06:45 PM Ottawa checking in here! I know the thread is old but I'm sure there have been new members added since 2010!!!
johnnyservice 01-02-2012, 03:02 PM Pickering here. Liquid Red '09 GT. Sport pkg, Premium Pkg, Roof, and Solo Axle-backs. Sounds like there are lots of us in Durham region.

Budoka 01-04-2012, 04:13 PM I am still here. I traded in my metallic red G8 but I am glad to say that I traded it for a loaded white G8 GT. I loved my old car but I must say I love the new one even more:). I took it for a test drive and fell in love with it, it only had 32,000km on it and I kept going back making the same offer until they got tired of me coming around I think and sold it to me. It had sat for a while and the dealer said there was lots of people looking and lots of kids that couldn't afford it. People were afraid of the gas mileage and the rear wheel drive in the winter. I am now looking forward to doing a few mods to it and getting a little bit more power.
I12XLR8 01-04-2012, 07:14 PM What part of Ontario are you in?

johnnyservice 01-08-2012, 06:35 PM LOL... I test drove your car back in October - It was at Roy Nicholls in Courtice. That was the car that convinced me I needed a GT. They wanted waaaaaaay too much for it, so I ended up buying one from the Ottawa area. Glad to see that you wore them down on the price!

Which dealer did you get the car from? What colour is it? I test drove a couple just before getting mine but they were all V6's...I LOVED my car when I first drove it!!!

I bought it at Myers on Baseline Rd. They were great to deal with. Drove back to Toronto along Hwy 7 - had a beautiful sunny day for the drive. Had a perma-grin for about a week.
I12XLR8 01-08-2012, 06:59 PM Good guys at Myers but the service department is just OK. I had them looking for a G8 for me along with a couple of other dealers and they just never called me back. Must not have thought I was serious...
What colour is yours?
johnnyservice 01-08-2012, 07:16 PM Hey - I changed my profile and avatar to include a little more info.
Liquid Red (also known in my household as "mid-life crisis" red)
Budoka 01-09-2012, 03:37 PM LOL... I test drove your car back in October - It was at Roy Nicholls in Courtice. That was the car that convinced me I needed a GT. They wanted waaaaaaay too much for it, so I ended up buying one from the Ottawa area. Glad to see that you wore them down on the price!
Yes that is the car. I know someone else that said they took it for a ride to and that the price was ridiculously high. It had been on the lot for quite a while when I went in, I made them an offer and they came back with a counter offer that was way to much so I left. About 3 weeks later I heard it was still there so I went back in the next week and made them the same offer. Once again they came back with an offer that I still thought was to high so I held my ground and told them it was my final offer. He went inside then came out and shook my hand and said we had a deal.
He kept telling me how great a car it was and I kept telling him how great mine was too and it only had 24,000km's on it and that they would not have a problem selling it with the V6 plus it was in perfect condition.
I am very happy with the car, I absolutely loved my old one but I must say I like this one even more!
If you don't mind, what were they asking when you went in? My friend said they wanted $40,000!!! I am sure she must be mistaken though, that is out of this world maybe it was $30,000?
Turbo301 01-09-2012, 04:34 PM There are a lot of insanely-priced G8 GTs in Ontario right now: it's like dealers are asking tomorrow's collector car prices for today's collector cars, and that's just not the way it works (or is supposed to work).
I've seen a 4,000 km car in black, admittedly loaded, for over $40k. Sure, mileage-wise, it's basically new, but in reality it's still a three year old, USED car!
Another guy has a highly-modified car, complete with Maggie, for $54k :drink: . I apologize if that is anyone's car on the board, but all of the stickers on the side of it (including a Call of Duty sticker, WTF?) really ruin the clean lines of the car. That, and the price tag would be enough to scare anyone off!
Rich G 01-10-2012, 02:47 PM Call of Duty Sticker wow...
johnnyservice 01-10-2012, 03:49 PM Yes that is the car. I know someone else that said they took it for a ride to and that the price was ridiculously high.

Yeah, they wanted basically 30K for the car. It was (is!) a beautiful example of one of these, and I recall the mileage being around 28K, so that's great too. Glad you held out until they finally agreed to sell it to you for a reasonable price.

mr weather 01-10-2012, 07:51 PM Before I bought mine I test drove a liquid red GT demo that had 12,000 km on the clock. The dealership wanted almost full sticker. Give me a friggin break! It's a used car no matter how they wanted to spin it.
