3.1LUMITIC Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 What is the best year for the gtp 96 to 2000. Im looking into buying one within the next few week. Im trading my 90 lumina euro coupe in for it plus in the process of geting a loan. I need somthing more reliable so all you GTP guys out there give me you options.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I think 99-03 would be the year I'd look for. I know 96s were still the old style (look like my car but with hood louvers) and have the 3.4. 1997 was the first year of the 3.8 supercharged and new body style, but had electrical problems and stuff. There was something about 1998 that I can't remember. 1999-03 I would get. I dont care for the 04+ I think they're uglier, heavier, and not any faster.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I think in 2001 they got the smaller steering wheel... I like that compared to the big fat "pillow" style of the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 personally, I like the 91-3 GTP's... but if your looking for a newer one, i'd agree with the ~99-03 style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Get a 99-00. 01+ you don't get the cool digital climate control or performance shift. (you can add performance shift though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(you can add performance shift though) Werd. Wait- there was no didgital climate control on those years? If so, get one with the digital climate control.

Guest TurboSedan Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 i've heard about the '97s having electrical problems, but is there anything bad about the '98 model year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 i've heard about the '97s having electrical problems, but is there anything bad about the '98 model year? Not really. I think the 97's and 98's were just a bit goofy. Got it right finally in '99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 if it were me, i'd want a 92 or 93 3.4/5 speed otherwise a 97 coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Yeah, the 91-96 GTPs are really a whole different car. Differnet body style, different interior, much different engine. 91-93 could be had with a 5-speed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1LUMITIC Posted March 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I dont want an older one!

luminator94 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I would say 98. They got most of the bugs worked out...I haven't had any problems. PLUS...the GTP was an option. So your insurance won't be so bad, they'll consider it an SE. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.1LUMITIC Posted March 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Sweet now ill just have to find one ya'll think I should go with the sedan or coupe? Would my insurance be more with the coupe since its a 2 door? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Get a sedan! They look better on the 97+ imo. (96- yes I would get a coupe) Call your insurance and find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I find the sedan looks better in 97+... IMO... older than that, coupe all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannymik Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 yeah I actually like having a sedan over a coupe in this body style.....I'd personally stay away from the '97 models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I thought 97 was the only model year that the GTP was just an option package in the new body style. 98+ was an actual model wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 99+ it was an actual model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
