MikeyT2007 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I am debating whether or not this car is a good purchase or not. Its a 2005 GTP fully loaded other than HUD. The only thing I can tell is it has alot of KM's 200,500KMs. The rims are badly tarnished,lots of chips on the hood that have been touched up and the exhaust tips look like crap. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what look into further or more information for me. Have any questions, please ask.

White93z34 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I had an 05 GTP that had 213,000 miles (343,000 km) and it ran like a freaking top. Much better even than my current 04 GTP with 120,000 miles on it. It's all in how it was cared for. the 05 had a lot of life left in it. I originally paid 6500 for it, like 2 years ago with 195k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyT2007 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Thanks for the responses, They are asking $8000 for it, but I can get it for significantly less considering I am staff. I just am not sure how much yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Most likely 5000-5500 if you work at a dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyT2007 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 yes I do AL, I work at a GM dealership in Alberta Canada. I was hoping for maybe half of asking, but we'll see. I was also wondering about running it with premium fuel. Is it an absolute neccesity to do so, can someone please explain this for me.

White93z34 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 its not "absolutely necessary" as long as its stock. It will run on regular, however the fuel economy hit you will likely take running it on regular will negate the higher cost of premium.

Euro Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I don't think you'd be able to get em to let it go at half, my guess is that's right around what they paid for it...maybe a tad less. And yes, premium is a requirement IMO..unless you keep it dead stock and drive like an old lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 It is very strongly recommended especially if you like to get into boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyT2007 Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 The car was a trade-in at the dealership and I have connections LOL. Both of my parents work there as well and my dad is the Fixed Operations and Service Manager. Interesting info regarding fuel choice as well. I knew there would be a good explanation.
