Love that color! Quite an upgrade over the GXP.

When I was looking for a GXP to buy, I was very close to getting a Crimson one, but decided to go with the gray instead, so in a way, I finally ended up with a red car, with the side benefit of getting to experience a Bonneville GXP first hand.

Agreed!
I can't wait!

Thanks guys.
I have updated my thread with new pictures.

Thanks guys.
And yes, Lane has been VERY helpful to helping me sort through the "well-used" GTOs, and the much better ones.
I have over 100 pictures now, so I can show you all a couple here.

The time has come to move on.
My Bonneville GXP now has a new owner, and I have been taken by the Holden bug, and bought a sweet, low mileage, one owner, 2006 GTO, 1 of 632 with the 6 speed, 18" wheels and painted Spice Red Metallic.

How has the coating on the wheels been holding up? The sure have the appearance of chrome in pictures, but can you tell in person that they are NOT actually chrome plated?

It almost looks silver in that lighting.

The chrome wheels really look nice. I would like to find someone in my area I could send mine to.
Very nice!

I wish Chrysler's would drop. The DRBIII I need for our van is nearly just as expensive as the StarSCAN they now use.

From his last reply, I'd say he bought a knock off.
That price point is going rate for them.

AC Delco for all my cars.
This is because of the years seeing what works and what doesn't from a mechanics view point.

My second option, if needed, would be Interstate.

Walmart batteries have never impressed me.

That's an easy fix for me.
Any consideration as to selling the whole car, as is?

I'd say you are having an EVAP small leak problem.
Even though the gas cap is being identified as the cause, other small leaks in the evap system can also set the same message.
Without using smoke to find the leak, you'd be only guessing at this point.

For an "ALL" Pontiac show, my Bonneville was the only one of ANY 88-05 Bonneville on the show field.
Kinda surprised that this was such an ignored segment of the Pontiac world.

Oh well, me and my wife had fun, I got my picture I wanted of the first and last year Bonneville, and Lane found us just ...

I just checked, it must not have made it into my new phone.
Can you PM me?

A few last minute details on the car and we are good to go!

No, never had an offer from anybody, (although my wife would gladly take them up on it, if someone did!)
