What do you guys think of this?

I went and looked at it Saturday. The rear bumper no longer has the scuff in it and its been repainted. One of the rims had a slight bit of curb rash and there were some normal scratches around it especially by the key hole but no dents or anything else. Car is really clean inside and out. It's out of my price budget of what I wanted to spend but I need a new car really soon and this one looked very nice. I want to test drive it before I make any decisions but do you guys think if I got it for 12k out the door with tax/title/license it would be a decent deal? I know that's expensive to most of you guys for a 3800 but I'm not looking for another rusty 97-03 with high miles that I'll have to be constantly throwing money at and will only last me a couple of years. I want something that can last me more than 5 or 6 years as a daily and seeing as my GT has 150k+ on it now I could see that happening if I kept up with the maintenance. Oh and it still has one year left of the bumper to bumper warranty fwiw.

That's clean, would be a good purchase IMO

You're right, maybe I should dish out the extra cash and get a ford with jaguar badges on it

I just hope that I would be able to afford the payments. Haven't been able to work much lately because of school. If I go for this I'm going to try to throw down as much as possible to keep the payments low.

Holy crap, just noticed the price, would be a great car and this is coming from someone that owns 2 gp's. I would never pay that much for a gp. Ever. Just sayin. There are so many other cars out there that you can get for less $ that are just as fun to drive.

Looks like a solid deal. Clean carfax?

 

[Bru]

Def should try to talk them down, though.

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

I need to ask them about the carfax but it's a one owner car. Only way I would buy it would be for 12k max with tax/title/license but even then it's a stretch.

 

[10sec]

They probably got that car for 5k towards a trade in, talk them sukkas down like a bunch of clowns.

It looks good. I've been looking for an 04+ GTP though, don't want another GT ... but who knows what'll happen. Nice car though and low mileage is always a plus.

Your on to something.....Dont forget the Aston Martin, and Mercedes parts too!

I'm not really looking for fun as much as reliability and this thing I think could be my daily driver for as long as 10 years if not more if I keep it in good shape. The way I see it if I bought it would be like a long term investment cause by the time this would get paid off I'd be looking at getting a project car like an ls1 or a cobra or something and then this thing would still have a lot of life left in it to be a daily.

tinyurl blocked at work. I just looked on my phone.

Thats pretty expensive... Ive seen quite a few 04 GTPs with 100K on them for like under 7K asking price. There is one on clubgp for 7K modded with a VS cam. You can almost buy two of those for this asking price. lol Ive actually considered upgrading to 04+. Are you looking into buying ONLY a low mile car?

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

Yes I would like a lower mileage car.

 

[The Broken Regal]

Why? You know damn well its pointless to spend 5k or 40% extra on a car thats gonna have 40k less miles, when these cars last plenty long

you can find 04+s for 7-8k now I've seen

 

[10sec]

Yes I would like a lower mileage car.

I hear you with lower mileage, especially as low as the car you posted. Take it from me, I bought my 02 gtp with "low" miles 3 years ago. If i could do it all over again I would have bought the other one I liked that had 140,000miles on it and cost almost $4k less. Especially since all the low mileage stuff I wanted isn't even in the car anymore, new motor, trans, axles, motor mounts, fuel lines, pump, etc. Do whatever you want, all we can offer is our personal opinions and points.

And no, i would never post like that on CGP. F-them.

 

[PANDA]

Yes I would like a lower mileage car.

Id be more worried with rust than low miles. Low miles also does not equal less problems. Hell I think the cars I bought with "low miles" had more issues/required more parts to be replaced etc. Save some money and buy one with 60-80K. Or drive south a bit and get a rust free car.

If you like that 05. Id offer the dealer 9-10K. OTD

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

Well I thought about it and took all your advice and passed...the search continues. I got get up with my bank today about a loan so I can buy a car off craigslist if one come along.

 

[AlmightyBirdman]

And Panda the only way I would buy a car with over 100k on it(especially a Grand Prix) would be if it had minimal rust. I'm talking like surface rust on the pinch welds and that's it.

 

[PANDA]

See the problem is people drive grand prix everyday its not like a fbody, mustang, vette etc that one might put away in the winter. If you want a true rust free GTP you will need to buy one away from Chicago.

 

[TonzKnock-G]

Dont pay more than 11 for that..JMO

Looks like it had some body damage.. Has SPO grills and SPO(GXP) Spoiler...
