Sold my GP, got me a Bonne!

It's an '05 GXP. White on White, leather, 30,000 miles, mint, and pretty as a picture! I always liked the looks a this model, and wanted to find one before they got too scarce! I will get another GP one a these here days, but for now, it's a Bonne. I had been seein' this car everywhere, even in my plum dreams, so I just had to git 'er!

Re: Sold my GP, got me a Bonne!

Congrats! GXP Bonnes are gorgeous cars. I must say, I'm a huge W body fan, but the Bonne is a looker.

What kind of Grand Prix did you own?

Re: Sold my GP, got me a Bonne!

Congrats, I've always like the Bonnevilles. I heard the 05 Bonnie GXP's got the LS4 when it first came out, is that true or is it the 3.8 S/C?

Either way, nice ride.
