New DD status: 2004 GTO

[Bru]

Picked up an 04 GTO tonight, automatic with 75,000 miles. It's in immaculate shape and looks brand new. Was at Woodfield Nissan where I don't think they had a clue what they were sitting on. Picked it up for less than private party value after negotiations.

The car is tastefully modded and has the following from what I could see:

• Pedders shocks and springs (not sure which ones)
• 05/06 Wheels
• Pioneer stereo with nav, bluetooth, bluetooth streaming audio and interface to keep the steering wheel controls
• Aftermarket heated seats (driver and passenger). The GTOs never came with heated seats.

Otherwise, it's stock down to the exhaust. Currently has summer tires, which need to go 245/40/18s, BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 that look super new.

I'm totally thrilled with the car how it rides on this suspension. Gonna do maybe a tune, intake and tires and call it quits for the DD.

And here are pics from the listing while it's still up:

I gotcha.

For what I picked this up for, you'd be hard pressed to find an 06 base Civic with 75,000 miles for this little. I was looking at Marauders, TLs, G35s and Si's, none that were this clean for the money.

I haven't driven a GTO since 2005 and don't remember it driving this nice. The Pedders suspension really transforms the car. I love it. I'm pretty sure the GTP is quicker but this thing is so solid with no squeaks, rattles or whines.

 

[Bru]

The 3700-3800 pound curb weight helps with the solid feeling.

And the GTP is sticking around. I gave it to Billy after this happened to the Cav

Just pulled up their site while it's still there, $11,800 asking, sounds like you got a screaming deal of a DD! Congratz!

 

[Turk]

Dasfinc is jelly he didn't buy first and resell.

Honestly, being American branded didn't influence my decision at all. Plus I bought it from a Nissan dealer. Pontiac just has the cheap speed thing down pretty good. And poor resale value

Awesome Joe!!! You might get awat without needing winter tires for the car this year. Congrats buddy!

 

[SleeperLS]

Damn. Awesome pick up man! That looks brand freaking new

 

[The Broken Regal]

[Smokinhot]
