I think so, with the market right now its tough to tell but ive been looking around at comps to mine and $17k sounds right, just make sure its clean, a lot of g8s have torn seats, falling headliners etc. no reason to settle. Theyre lots of fun wish you luck.

So we got the car in april of 2019 and the first tune up was just regular stuff for when buying a used car and it was like $800 and then we had to buy new wheels for $400(some were cracked I got a deal on facebook marketplace). The next big thing was the water pump failed while we were down in florida, the dealer we went to didnt do a great job so after we got it back to nj we had to fix their crap work. So it was $400 in fl and another $400 in nj. Then the two oil changes $300 and other minor stuff made it go up a bit. Lol i may have overestimated a tad more like $3000 but still is a lot. Id definitely recommend one but make sure it has good records and was treated right. Oh also we’ve had a good amount of a/c trouble( typical with 10 yr old cars) we’ve spent about $500 in recharging and fixing it last summer and this summer.

@ageise0283
@ageise0283 2 года назад
Hey! Yea so just make sure to do your homework, i would suggest buying one with less miles just bc of all the maintenance we’ve had to do Since the video a major job was doing all the coils One went on cylinder 8 and then the next week another misfire w cylinder 5 so we just got all eight done for ~1700$ Other than that everythings been great, gets good ish gas mpg if you drive it nice occasionally i get 18 right now Still the best car my family has owned. Handles amazing and has plenty of power. Cant get a better highway car that just loves to sit at 90 aside from an SS. So in all pros are - cheap purchase price at least back in 2018 - great ride - handling - seats are super comfy and can easily fit five - huge trunk - great long distance(this one did nj to fl with ease) - goodish mpg for what it is - good looks( and community) Cons - poor mpg compared to regular cars - lots of maintenance if you buy a higher mileage (but i think its really just car to car cant make any assumptions, you can just get lucky or not)i think our toral over the last 3 years is around 4k ik i said that in the video but i think i was off by a bit - cosmetic things are hard to get fixed ie- door handle paint chipping and wheels are hard to find Lmk if you wanna know some more tried to fit as much as possible might be rambling a bit.
