Hey folks,

My 19 year old son is planning to purchase a 2009 pontiac G5 today, with just over 25k miles with warranty expiring at 36k or July 2012.

It's not exactly what he wants but I'm cosigning his note and won't cosign for what he wants.. LOL poor kid :( But.. he's been drvining a pos 93 prizm that he paid 400 for so it's still a step up.

I digress..

Anyone have opinions, experiences, good or bad with these cars?

He isn't too good about getting a wrench and he hasn't saved enough money to buy something cheaper without a loan. He also woudn't have enough cash for unexpected repair bills. So he's also looking at an extended full warranty for an additional 3 years, or 75k miles.

I'm generally not a fan of extended warranties, but in this case.. ( I don't want to get a wrench and fix his car) ..

Any thoughts on the extended warranty?

Car is in great shape and without all the details in the buyers order.. out the door including extended warranty - 11k.

Think this is a good value? According to KBB and NADA it should be. I guess I'm most interested in personal experiences about the reliability or other things unkown about these cars.

I found one forum for these yesterday but didn't find too much of interest. I'll poke around in cyberspace a bit this morning.
