That's the one I've been trying to buy from them. They're pretty set on the price right now tho.
My big issue, ..., no Sirius/XM in it right now. (Other thread, ...)
I would be suspicious with 4 owners and such low mileage that it might be a lemon. Even if it's not, with such low mileage, the scheduled maintenance was probably not performed. People sometimes are funny about keeping their cars up. They look at the mileage and they think they're ok. jmo. - BCSteelworker26 wrote:Call it a double mid life crisis...me.... and my wife.

(Not sure if hot links allowed so I used quotation marks around the link)
The car fax seems suspicious. Wondering if anyone saw this or has knowledge of why a CAT would be replaced with such low mileage? Something serious has to be going on with the engine to warrant such a replacement?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. And if you decide to but it yourselves then kudos to you.
Thx
So it has been a few days and I am really not liking the speakers now. They sound great with some albums with little base but as soon as heavier base kicks in you can hear the cardboard pop. So I will be upgrading soon.CMNTMXR57 wrote:Same here, I was looking the other night at GXP's.
I ended up replacing all my Monsoon speakers with Infinity reference speakers. Night and day difference. Even though you were able to make the bal/fade adjustments to make it sound better, if you drive around with the windows down and sunroof open (like I do when it's nice out), the stock speakers flat out stink. Some of that has to to with the system dialing back bass as the volume increases, but it's all distortion and noise after a certain level.
One of the reasons I loved the GXP (amongst other things), was because of it's gauge cluster. That is what got me to start looking again the other night. I was parusing pics of mine with the dash at night... Oh how I miss Pontiac warm red on the Caddy at night.
Any speakers will work with any stereo. The wiring at the speaker is a simple two wire setup.Steelworker26 wrote:So it has been a few days and I am really not liking the speakers now.

As I look into Infinity speakers do you have any idea if the Bose speakers will hook up to the monsoon? If so then I might see if Haro has a set.
Just a thought.
, glad to see another Ohioan on here. I'm looking at purchasing a GXP for my wife but kind of hesitant about it. Car is an 05 and has 60k on it, but we need something reliable as this is her DD.Where's it at? Color? Weblink or dealer name, or zip code?98SSE wrote:Car is an 05 and has 60k on it, ....
Its black and about 2 hours from me, that's all the details I can give youPontiacFan wrote:Where's it at? Color? Weblink or dealer name, or zip code?98SSE wrote:Car is an 05 and has 60k on it, ....
. It's looking more and more promising that this might be the one for us so don't want to give away too many details and lose out on it.This is refreshing to hear as the N* has a pretty bad reputation and initially scared me off but the more and more I read into it, it sounds like something I can handle. I do all my own work on our cars so I'm definitely not afraid to turn a wrench. On a scale from 1-10 I'd put myself at a 6/6.5 out of 10, done a few rebuilds on my Honda's (Flame on lol) back in the day and countless other repairs on cars ranging from Nissan Maxima, Dodge Intrepid (POS), Saturn SC2, Isuzu Amigo, S10/Blazers ect.techweenie wrote:Closely inspect the driver output shaft seal in the transmission for any signs of leakage. If it looks good it should be reliable. If not, it will need a rebuild. I haven't had any issues other than that on mine. I consider these reliable cars, but I'm coming from a long line of s10 trucks that had something break almost daily.
