Year and Trim: 05 red GXP, 05 white GXP, 03 SSEI, 02 SSEI
My job is relocating from Florida to Singapore for 3-5 years, can't take a car with me, paying storage fees is unrealistic for these two and I have the other two Bonneville's and my truck to store. My Bonneville stable of an 01 SSEI, 03 SSEI and two 05 GXP's has to be reduced so with the deepest of regret I have to sell two. The gray 01 is my daily driver and nothing to brag about other than she a tough ole lady that just keeps going and going, so she'll go and then my wife's white 05 GXP. I'd drive either car across the US and back tomorrow without any concerns.

I'd rather sell to someone that appreciates Bonneville's than not, especially the white 05.

The white 05 mileage is currently 112000 with no coolant issues, oil leaks, all the door panels resealed, sunroof drains cleaned, no check or warning light are on, even the fog lights work. The headliner was replaced last year, the cluster gauges stepper motors about 2 years ago and rack and pinion a year ago. Every so often at a stop light the oil gage will zero out for a second but there is no oil pressure issues with the engine and it didn't do that before I replaced the stepper motors. She does needs tires.

The 01 is my daily driver and nothing to look at or brag about but it's dependable with 180000, no fluid leaks, AC is cold just replaced the compressor and condenser but the sunroof does not work.

Nether car has rust, never driven in the salt since I've owned them, when I 've previously lived up North.

So I'm basically gaging interest if there is any, before I take these out to the local area to sell.

Let me know and I'll send pics if requested.

My email is Kevinamstutz@live.com

I'm amazed that the appreciation for the GXP has waned to the point of no interest. Great cars to drive and own and I don't have any regrets.

Sadly activity on our site here has dwindled to a mere trickle, so the number of persons these posts reach is pretty minimal anymore. :sad:

Sad to hear. When I returned from overseas I was looking hi and low for a GXP and found my red one in NC. My wife loved my GXP so much she had to find one. Luck would have it I found this white one in Western Iowa and counted my blessings. Probably the only one to have two Bonneville GXP's and two SSEI's.

I think two things plague the car really.

1) They weren't popular when new. Be it lack of marketing, other choices for similar size/power/etc, but just not a popular vehicle anymore
2) The N* stigma.

I would try the Pontiac Bonneville Facebook Group or better yet the GM Classic FWD Society.
