Rim Compatibility

[doctorhrdware]

Tblake I was at the salvage yard the other day, they had the chrome rims you wanted. But unfortunately the price was $450. Let me know if you want me to poke around down here.

[tblake]

Thanks for the info! 450 is a little steep, and then shipping would be another 200 or so.

I better keep looking around here. Thanks!

That price was also with the tires. The tires looked to be in very good condition.

Hmmmm, I'll talk it over with the wifey and see what she says.

Thanks!

How is the MPG with the Displacement on Demand Motor? The dealer seemed to think it would be as good as I was getting with my GTP if not better.

Yup two. Tim, I am amazed too.

Just got in from Salt Lake City with it last night. On mileage around 17 city. The trip back to El Paso (880 miles) came out to 24 mpg overall average. GM calls it Active Fuel Management (AFM). EPA is 16/25.

Hey, why didn't you tell me! I could've test drove it with you!

24 eh? That's what I'm averaging right now! 50/50 city/hwy So w/o the AFM, I'm doing pretty good?

Sorry I missed you. I purchased the GXP from Jerry Seiner Chevrolet/Cadillac. The real test drive was driving back home and no issues noted. I had the opportunity to stop off at Moab and the Arches National Park since it was along the way. That place was really awesome. The rock formation below cracked me up. ......

Jerry Seiner eh? Was it the one on 106th So? If so, that's where I got my GTP!!

Yeah, that rock is called Manhood Rock. j/k. Aside from the imagination-inducing formations, Arches is gorgeous.

The one in the middle at South 500 West right off I15. For a GM dealership they look like straight shooters and have a nice operation. Also, had the chance to see a new Corvette Z06 and ZR1 sitting on the showroom floor.

Ah, okay. Yeah I know the one you're talking about. Jerry Seiner really was good to work with and they gave me a great deal on my grand prix. We bought our Jeep from a place called La Point Ford (now out of business - surprise, surprise) and they screwed us over pretty bad (Any Larry H. Miller dealership is also one to avoid like the plague). If possible, I will definitely buy my next car from Jerry Seiner.
My wife and I saw one of those ZR1's in a magazine and I told her that if my faithfulness were ever to be in question, that a ZR1 would be her only suspect.

I'm not a fan of GM dealerships but Jerry Seiner is the exception. Yeah I heard the Larry Miller operation leaves alot to be desired. They had a '08 GXP there too but it was in poor shape for the cost.
