Copying this from gmforum.com. I highly doubt someone on here will be interested, but I figure its worth a shot in the slight off case that someone might be interested. This will be going up for sale publicly at $10,500 soon. $9900 for you guys or $9700 without the sound system. If someone here REALLY wants it, I might be willing to negotiate a small discount, but don't shoot for the moon.
My Bonneville GXP is going up for sale, and I figured I'd give you guys the first shot at it.
87,000 miles
Fully loaded with sliding sunroof, 18" wheels, HUD, heated seats, 12 disc CD changer, and an aftermarket sound system.

Car has been properly maintained. Religious oil changes done whenever the recommended changes are due. Nothing wrong with this car at all. It has always been serviced by the dealer except for the last time I took it in to get wheel hubs replaced. Receipts available for all work done.
Blower motor was replaced with revised unit, gauge cluster was replaced, steering rack was replaced with revised unit, I personally replaced the tie rods with MOOG heavy duty ones, R1 Concepts drilled and slotted front and rear rotors with Akebono Pro-ACT Ultra premium brake pads. Optima Red Top battery. All tires have over 50% tread life and are Kumho ASX's. They were purchased last winter. Transmission fluid was replaced this last fall.
The car has an aftermarket, transferable Nissan Quality Guard Plus warranty that is good till 94,000 miles / 2012, which will give you the peace of mind of knowing that anything mechanical that happens to the car should you decide to buy it, will be covered under that warranty. I've owned it since 45,800. Registration is good till February 2010.
Kelly blue book lists this car for $10,230 in good condition.

I'm asking $9900, or $9700 without the sound system, which is way below KBB when you consider it comes with a warranty and a sound system.
There are a few defects, such as a few small knicks in the leather from the previous owner's negligence. The fog light/dimmer switch plate was replaced because it wouldn't stay on with a tan one even though it was gray from the factory. Haven't had a time to find a proper replacement for it. Some bulbs are burned out on the radio and controls, as is typical for GM cars of this year. There is one very small ding on the driver's door which can be very easily fixed. Head light and fog light tints are removable vinyls, although I think they look amazing with them on and helped the car win COTM here recently.
Sound system comes with the car if you want it, otherwise I take the amps and sub and wire it up back to stock. The rear deck 6x9's have been replaced with Kicker 6x9's and are run off of a 2 channel Directed amp. The line input for the amp comes from the rear door speakers, so its all stereo sound. I discovered that the bass-only factory 6x9's made it uncomfortable for passengers. A Kenwood KAC-9103D 900W @ 2 RMS mono amp powers an Alpine R12 in a ported box.
This question gets asked all the time, why am I selling it? I'm selling it because despite having been the most awesome and sexy car I've ever driven for the past 3 years I've owned it, I have to let it go. I still owe $6k on the car, and I'm trying to save up money to buy a house and start a family. A semi-luxury sport sedan has no place in my life right now. I'm not sick of it, it isn't broken, I'm not bored of it. Its pretty hard to let it go and my wife wishes I wouldn't have decided to sell it, but I have to do what I have to do to start a family.
If anyone is remotely interested, I can get plenty of interior and exterior detailed pictures. Car is rust-free and is located in northern Illinois.
