FordBoy Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 The gf is looking for a gp/gt. What are some common things to look for? She found 01 gp gt 4dr for $6450 with 70k miles black fully loaded with leather. The door panals are starting to fall off the doors (all four of them) A LOT of touch up paint around the fenders, and both front and rear bumpers repainted. It rides smooth and drives/runs fine. I don't think is a very good deal but she thinks it is. So I'm woundering if there is anything else I should lpk over and if she's right and uts a desent deal? Quote
AL Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 It sounds like its been in an accident so I would look for frame damage... I would have it sent to a shop and inspected... With that much body work, I would not pay more than 4k... Quote
GP1138 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 No. If it's as you describe I'd pay $3k tops for that. We picked up our '99 GP GT that's fairly loaded minus leather, HUD and S/C, and we paid $1500 for it with body damage (no frame damage). Unscathed it's probably worth $2500. Quote
Euro Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 Yeah that's a bit much. Find another, they are out there! Quote
Venom Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 x2 Craigslist has all kinds of newer GP for less than $3500 Quote
FordBoy Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Posted April 3, 2009 I havnt seen any up here at that price Quote
Andrew Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 i agree, that is too much. I paid $6k for my mint, fully loaded 00 GTP. anyhoo, what to look for.. -check suspension for rust and/or broken parts. trailing arms and sway bar ends in particular. L36 -intake plenum been replaced yet? -LIM's been replaced yet? L67 - recall on front valve cover gasket been done? - LIM's - is it modded? Quote

FordBoy Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Posted April 5, 2009 The gf thinks 82000 miles is high on a diff pontiac she found she likes..help me reassure her it isnt Quote
AL Posted April 5, 2009 Report Posted April 5, 2009 a diff. pontiac? another GP or something else Quote
FordBoy Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 Yea a diff gp.. Its an 2004 GP GT1. Quote
AL Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 82k is just a start on one of them... ask Buck Quote
AL Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 I have 87k on my 03 and I have had it since 74k and I havent had to put anything other than regular maintenance into it... Quote
FordBoy Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 I'm going to tell her if she has anymore qts to log on under my name and ask. Quote
Breakdown Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 Much like Al, I've done very little to my 2003 GT. Serpentine belt and water pump. Also the damn fan resistor - that was messed up when I got it. I've had it since 101,000km, and now it has 119,000km (Dec. 07 purchase). That price is miles too high. One thing that I have noticed is all of the 2001+ cars have outside door panels that are falling off - it's retarded! Quote
