Hey guys, I live in Elkridge MD and I'm looking to buy a g8 gt, just wondering what dealers you guys used and if you had good/bad experiences with them. Thanks!

Adams pontiac in annapolis... imo great people to work with and the only dealer between wilkins in glenburnie, and fox pontiac in laurel that didnt mark up the price when the g8's first came out.

Wilkins does currently have some exclusive colors like stryker blue and sport red I believe I saw a silver g8 GT to.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to Stofer and Strominger (sp?) up just north of Balt on saturday for a test drive. Don't really want to order the car and have it shipped.

I'll look down in annapolis too. Thanks again!

I got mine in Delaware. I just wanted a certain color with options and no one in MD had one. Plus they gave me GMS pricing which no others were doing.

So I test drove a g8gt at Stroffer and Strominger just North of baltimore. HORRIBLE PLACE! Do not go there. The salesmen knew nothing, and the car was crap. It has soda spilled in it, and something was wrong w/ the transmission, my GTP blew it away in terms of performance.

I then went to Win Kelly in clarksville, they offered my a good deal and were much better to work with. Didn't buy the car yet though, they only have red, and were just a tad above what i wanted to pay.

Just keeping you guys posted in case you care.

Talk to Fred down at wilkins. He seemed to be pretty knowlegable(spelling?) on the G8. Win Kelly did not have the white one there?

cmlease
11-23-2008, 12:01 PM
When i got there, the white one was being cleaned to be sold (somone had bought it). So yea, they only had 2 red ones, and my wife wants leather in the car...so yea.

Just got back from wilkins, put a deposit on a black g8 gt w/ premium and sport. Gonna take delivery tomorrow provided wife doesn't change her mind....

btw, you guys were right, they were good, though when they saw the # from win kelly i thought someone had punched the sales men in the gut. he was like "are you sure it was a '09?" and "are you sure it was a GT?" and "what was wrong with it?". lol.

but it worked, looks like i'll be getting a new car tomorrow...

LOL i know the feeling!!

I know I was going nuts the day I was at work and knew that I was going to pick my car up in Delaware. I think I went from Bowie/Crofton to Dover, DE in 45 minutes!!! The ride home I took my time to let it soak in.

Lol I remeber that day you told me you were getting yours... like a kid with a new toy lol

cmlease
11-25-2008, 08:02 PM
and i got it! YAY!!

black on black GT w/ premium and sport packages. They gave me a good deal (imo) of $28,400 and gave me ~1k over blue book for my trade in.

So yea, it's home, in my drive way...calling to me. i did the onStar initialization, that's pretty cool. next thing is to get the XM radio worked out, i think it might be being blocked by my house?

also, i gotta check if the ECM needs to get flashed...

so yea...happy kid in a candy store!

Actually we all met here. We typically meet up on Friday or Saturday nights at Pepboys in Glen Burnie.

Last Resort, Sportsred and I meet up with a few other guys. Usually just sit around and talk and watch races up and down Ritchie.
