I really like those rims. Black with the thin red line looks nice. I saw some similar rims on a black Z06 and it looked great. I would be interested in them if you are able to get the car and/or rims back. Also, interested in the original GXP 18" rims if you still have those. Best of luck with the next car.
Thank you, i dont have the original rims, i was running some other ones for winter and the 20s for summer, its been about a month and i still havent heard from my insurance. car still at the impound. i'll know soon what i'll be doing with it

we'll see, i was told i cant touch it till the investigation is over, i cant remove anything. Lucky me my brother removed my HU, subwoofer & amp, cost me quite a bit to setup my system.

That was one of if not my favorite car on this forum.
(Maybe im partial to gxps maybe its cause your local)
Lots of money in ab , lots of drugs and lots and lots and lots of alcohol....
I wish you the best of luck in dealing with inscurance.
And i hope your physical condition doesnt afffect you long term.
Its been 4 years since my rollover and cracked spine , I had physiothereapy for 6 months after i got my neckbrace off.
Its just now that im starting to feel the full effects of that incident.
Good luck with all your dealings
Thanks my friend, I'm just happy i made it out with nothin more serious than my back and neck pain, could've been way worse. It was a very unique GXP, pictures dont give it any justice, it turned head more than anything else on the road.
Sadly thats true, especially in Fort Mc, what part of Alberta you in?
I'm doing physio for 7 months as a start, he said it could be as long as a year.

I'm sure the replacement will be just as nice, if not better though!
Good luck with the therapy.
Thanks again, replacement is on its way.. i'll make sure to post some pictures soon

With some recent receipts on repairs and showing them the "dealer retail" value of getting a replacement, they ended up not totally the car and giving me a good size check to have it fixed "professionally".
From the pics though, it looks like it will be totaled regardless, just show them some dealer prices with the same car, then add the cost of the aftermarket parts on it.
I doubt i want this car fixed, if you look from the rear passenger side you can see the whole front end is shifted to the right, the frame is bent for sure. I would never drive this car again no matter what. Labor is wayyyy to expensive were i live, someone cracked my front bumper skin few months and total repair was 2500! insane! also keep in mind GXP parts are twice the price and take forever to get.

Trust me. Been there, done that. That's how I got into the SSEi the first time.
I am for sure, thanks for the advice. the car will be paid soon, as for injuries that all depends on how long i'm off work, how long im in physio for & whether i'm taking them to court or not. i have two years for settlement on injuries. i really appreciate the advice, my first time into an accident and i can use every piece of advice
repinS wrote:Finding listings for "retail value" might be difficult considering the two-figure sales volume in Canada for 2005. There are two GXP's in Ontario right now, an 04 and an 05, going for $10k and $13k, and I've seen them listed for as high as $16k (that one took a LONG time to sell).
the BOOK retail value in my area is 13900, but mine is SUPER clean with many aftermarket parts which will push it higher. Also in Kijiji and Canada trader they are going for way higher than book because of how rare they are and our market is much higher over all. Looking online 05s in my area they are going somewhere between 15 and 17, insane but thats the market. i paid almost 20 for mine. Theres one 05 for 14 but looking at the speedo it looks like a US car and *shoot* rims and doesnt look that clean.

tell me about it
I was actually considering buying another GXP, but it'll never be the same.
Not looking at any GM at the moment for my "good" car. If i do GTO or STS-V might be an option.

I dunno if it can get any better than my GXP (Conceited much?), i had that car exactly where i wanted it to be, only thing i wanted and was missing just because i dont have time for it, was projector swap in my headlights, but didnt get the chance to get to it.
RIP, I will miss this car like no other.
