KennyFKINPowerz Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm thinking about trading in the Yukon today on an 06 Pontiac G6 GTP 6 speed with the 3.9 in it and 62,000 miles on it. 80.00 -100.00 a week in gas in the Yukon is killing me. Does anyone know much about these? I dont have any experience with them so I am not sure if there is anything that I need to look for before I head out to look at it. Anything that I she be aware of with this car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFKINPowerz Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've heard nothing but horror stories personally & from derek & others. I did some searching on Consumer Reports and its about 50/50. Some people hate them and have had nothing but problems and other people absolutely love them. They do have some common issues such as brakes going out fast and steering rack problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleguy Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 The only thing I would really make sure to be aware of is that they are pretty much horrible in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek said they EAT front end parts like it's it's duty. arms, steering racks, all kinds of stuff. At least the GTP's don't look as ricey as the GXP's so that's a saving grace.

Aaron Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 The shifter is absolutely horrible in the 6 speed cars. My brother bought one new in 06, sucked balls from day 1 (shifter). He had zero problems in the 50k he owned it. Pretty quick too, for what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkmaster03 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I test drove the GTP M/T model a while back because I was interested in getting one for a project but I wasn't impressed with the price that they were going for and the miles. I may still pick one up when they come down more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
