2006 GTP From Orlando

I've purchased a 2006 G6 GTP. It had 28,000 miles on it. I was looking at buying a brand new one, but it was looking to be over $30,000 out the door for what I wanted. I first test drove the 2.4L Value Leader Sedan, and it was o.k. but it left a lot to be desired. After that I took out the 2007 GTP and the dealer let me beat on it a little. I must say, there's a HUGE difference between the two, almost too much to compare.
So at 7:30PM I got to Carl Black Buick Pontiac GMC on Friday the 13th (go figure). I found this car, and was impressed with it. It has every package you can get. This includes:

Sports Package
3.9L engine
4 speed automatic with manual shift mode.

Sun and Sound Package
Sunroof and six disc in-dash CD changer.
Steering wheel controls.

Premium Package
Leather seats.
Heated seats (this was a what made the deal for me :lol: )
etc.


Other Options
XM satellite radio.
OnStar Safe and Sound.
Floor mats.
Cargo net.
Side-curtain airbags.
etc.



If any of the above options are incorrect, it's because I've mostly been looking at 2007s and I'm not 100% sure on everything that came on the 2006 GTP packages.

Excellent car! How does the 3.9 feel?

It's kinda odd seeing a top-end Pontiac without a spoiler. I'll just have to adapt haha.
I love the car and its performance. After driving the 2.4 the 3.9 blew me away. With my Grand Am it would always take a second for the acceleration to kick in if you floored it. With this car you feel it right away.

Welcome to the club. If you remember, I had the only G6 at the GAOC bash last year. It is a big step up in hp, over the Grand Am. :cheers: :cool:

Hey Keith, glad to hear from you again. The added HP makes me so happy. I needed a car that was fast, but not too fast, as Lauren will be driving it too. :eek:

Thanks. It is a nice car. Are you coming to the GAOC bash, if so, are you bringing the G6?
There's a chance I might swing through Albany on my way back from Canada this summer. If so it would only be for a night or two, and I would be in the G6

Sweeeet!
Well it's official, I've registered for Albany 2007, I couldn't resist.
How do you like it?


"6 speed automatic with manual shift mode."????

The 06 GTP's came with a 6 Speed manual (F40) or a 4 Speed auto (4T65E)
I love the car, my bad about the tranny, just changed it.

Pretty sure he's talking about the tiptronic.

I know he was, I was talking about the 6 speed auto part.


And just an FYI the G6 isn’t equipped with a "tiptronic" transmission. Only Porsche come with them.v ;)

Everyone has their own word for the fake manual transmissions, TipTronic, Sportronic, etc. Same thing, fake manual.
