: G8's in St. Louis
No ConeSS 03-19-2008, 08:48 AM I know there are a couple in St. Louis. There was (emphasis on was, don't know if still there) a Black GT with Premium and Sport packages at Behlmann on N 270.
Also, spotted a Red GT yesterday in Collinsville haulin' rump in the rain.
Laura Pontiac in Collinsville is supposed to get a Red one, but that may be the one I saw. Forgot the name, but the dealer in Belleville (Rte 15) is supposed to get (or already got) a White GT.
No ConeSS 03-24-2008, 08:23 AM As an update, I went by Laura Pontiac in Collinsville, and they still have their red one, so the one I saw driving on the road wasn't theirs, but it's speculated that it came from Brockland in Cahokia, IL.
The red one Laura has is number 608. He offered me the keys to drive, but I didn't want to put more miles than it already had since I wasn't going to buy it. BTW, there is a "Market Adjustment" of $2,000. Ugh.
Anyway, I still love the look of it. However, I was a bit disappointed in that it's almost identical to my wife's Magnum in exterior dimensions, but it is less roomy inside. I was afraid that the steering wheel wouldn't come up and out from the dash as far, and I was right. Maybe I need to have another sitting, but it feels lower than my GTO.
That being said, I don't know if a 6m will be in my future, but we'll see once the GXPs hit the lot and I can give one of those a sitting.
No ConeSS 03-24-2008, 01:26 PM BTW, the Black one at Behlmann is #121.

Don't go to Behlmann, you'll regret it.
stlG8 03-24-2008, 03:41 PM Suntrup in St Peters has a Red one. If I recall correctly it lists for $32 and some change.
No ConeSS 03-31-2008, 07:35 AM Forgot the name, but the dealer in Belleville (Rte 15) is supposed to get (or already got) a White GT.
This is a GT w/ Premium package, #656, and no markup.

Not a big Behlmann fan here either.
Quickerisbetter 04-01-2008, 10:36 AM Bought one (Gt, grey, prem, sun, allseason) at Sinclair. They had 3 GT's, white, grey, red. Got a good deal and sales manager, Fred McKenna, knows this car inside and out.

Do they still have the white? I really want to see it...so much that I might be making a huge detour over to belleville if its still there.

Test drove one over the weekend at Sinclair, a red one. Salesman seem more the Buick salesman than a Pontiac salesman. Felt like my grandpa was in the car and would yell at me if I opened it up. Didn't know much about the car either. "The V6 is a 3.8L V6". I don't blame the guy. That dealership to me seems to always have had an older client base and have only picked up Pontiac in the last year from Bommorito down the street. Might just need to hire the right people to sell the Pontiacs.
Like the car enough to drive over to Brockman in Illinois and test drive from them (a white one) with a younger salesman. Tom at Lou Fusz was also very helpfull over the phone and if he is still there when I am ready to buy my 09, I will be buying from him (provided the price is right).

Test drove a white GT at Brockman in Illinois (Cahokia I think) over the weekend. The also had 2 white v6s. Never been a white fan but I have to say I liked the way the G8 looked in white

I'm not sure if they still have it, I haven't been back down there since that day. The one I saw is at Wagner Pontiac on Rte 15 in Belleville. The one mentioned above is at Bob Brockland in Cahokia, 2 exits south of Rte. 15 on 255.
You could check Pontiac's dealer page and see if Wagner still has it listed and call to verify.

I will have to check it out. Stopped by Behlman up in hazelwood this morning. They just got in a magnetic grey gt with a sunroof. They also had the spoiler off of it because it was damaged during shipping. I see a spoiler delete in my future!
r1owner 04-04-2008, 01:13 PM Bomarito on Manchester has a black one and a white one... both GTs.

DAMN, I was in St Louis for 2 days and I wanted to go by Bommarito. I was at the Science & Tech museum and then headed to South County mail and I had planned to stop, but said hell with it. I figured they would not have any on the lot. I bought my last GP from them.

Stopped by there today. They also had a magnetic grey sitting out front as well.

SOB rub it in a little bit more:D
r1owner 04-05-2008, 10:30 PM I was there as well...
The magnetic gray is a V6....
Salesman offered to let me drive either one. I turned him down cause I am not close to buying yet.
Said they were selling them for MSRP. That's cool right there. Said he got 3 of them 4 days ago. Black one sold earlier today.
Ashley2dance 04-05-2008, 11:49 PM Is it just me or do these dealers know nothing? While I was at bommarito the salesman told me the GM has no plans of ever producing g8's with manuals. I just about busted out laughing. Didnt even go into the fact that I might be waiting for the gxp to come out. The first salesman out there that knows anything about the g8 will be the one to get my business...
r1owner 04-06-2008, 12:28 AM The guy I talked to knew about the forthcoming GXP, but not much else... said there were going to be minor changes... but was pretty adamant that it was not going to have the LS3.
NeqsG8GT 04-10-2008, 10:52 PM Whose red G8 GT was blasting down I-55 today around Kimmswick? I was doing "slightly" over the posted speed limit and you blew by me like I was standing still. Enjoying your ride? Be careful out there, huh?
twort 04-11-2008, 10:55 PM i picked up the red one from suntrup a few weeks ago. it is number 41. Premium package only.
2008WhiteGT 04-12-2008, 12:23 AM i picked up the red one from suntrup a few weeks ago. it is number 41. Premium package only.
Was that the red one in the show room without the sunroof? They had another red GT that had the sunroof. I test drove the GT with the sunroof. Just curious. I bought my white GT from them on the spot after driving the red one a little over a week ago.
Congrats on buying from Suntrup. They'll treat you right.
r1owner 04-12-2008, 11:08 AM Did you guys pay MSRP from Suntrup?
CARGUYx 04-14-2008, 12:40 AM Suntrup has 3 more GT's comming in this week. 2 with premium, sport and a sunroof and 1 with just premium and sport. White, black and grey.
Did you guys pay MSRP from Suntrup?
X2 on that. I might have to make a visit to st louie this weekend.
r1owner 04-15-2008, 03:51 PM X2 on that. I might have to make a visit to st louie this weekend.
I was going to tell you not to bother as I planned on buying the GT today.... no go on my trade in, so I have to wait... :(
twort 04-15-2008, 08:31 PM I did buy the one in the show room from Suntrup. if you go there see Eric Carmack. he will treat you right and tell him Tim sent you in.
CMNTMXR57 04-16-2008, 05:47 PM Don't go to Behlmann, you'll regret it.
What's wrong with Behlmann?
I bought my GTO from them without haggle or issue for MSRP at a time when dealers were adding $5k - $7k in "fair market value adjustment". I did it over the phone/fax, came down the next week, finalized and brought my car home.
My salesman Fred (I think that was his name), calls me about once a year, (not just sends a postcard) asking me how the car is.
twort 04-16-2008, 09:53 PM yes suntrup is selling them at msrp. I did not pay a markup
CARGUYx 04-29-2008, 11:10 PM Suntrup in St Peters has 6 G8's on the ground 3 GT's and 3 base.
r1owner 04-29-2008, 11:29 PM Yeah, I just saw that on the locater.... They seem to be getting the most out of the dealers so far. When I looked at that gray one, he said they had already sold 5 or so of them.

Anyone in STL interested in forming a G8 Club? I created a group under Yahoo groups for anyone that wants to join and setup meets and cruises.

batwood 05-16-2008, 11:11 PM While in St. Louis doing an install I saw a Dark Grey outside of Midcoast Performance getting on it a little bit. Justice Pete will be there on the 24th with his fully Pedderised and Procharged G8. Maybe you can check that out.

Great idea and I did it today. This is my first post too. Getting SO much done here at work. http://www.g8board.com/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif
twort 05-24-2008, 06:12 PM I was there as well with my red g8 gt. I didn't get there til 1 so I don't know if I missed you. I did get to ride in the procharged pedders g8. Man was that fun and fast.
cw0802 06-19-2008, 10:14 AM Sinclair has about 8 of them on Tuesday, red, white, black , gray....i think 4 of them were GT's. Thing that's odd is that none of them are out front...you'd think they'd put their best car out front but they're all sitting in the back lot.
I'd likly buy from Sinclair. I think Dave Sinclair is about as honest of a car salesman as you can get. I was wondering if anyone used the internet sales guy to buy?
I'm currently saving for a V6 G8.
When i get one...i'd gladly join a StL G8 Club.

I take there was no markup on any of them? Were any of them 2009's?
