Glad to be back with another G6! I've owned a 2005 sport red metallic G6 V6 before but was traded in for the Torrent (progression thread here) which is basically my wife's car. This one however is all mine to toy with 
This 2006 G6 V6 sedan (Light tarnished silver, what kind or color name is that?) has seen it's share of scratches and bumps. I'm putting a little bit of love into her and it's starting to pay off. The dealership initially asked for 6999$ but I managed to get it for 4999$ last April. And it came with winter tires on rims!
Also all known issues with this model were fixed back in November 2011 so it rides like a champ. So far the only problem I've encountered so far is the shift from park issue that I've already taken care of with some di-electric grease (thanks to you guys!)
My first mod was to remove that ugly front licence plate holder. In came in color matched bumper plugs
