Thread: GXP reliability with 80,000 miles?

Hey! This is my first post and looks like a great forum. I'm looking at a 2006 GXP with 80,000 miles listed for $11500. I'm going to be a senior in HS this year and need it to last me through college, so at least 5 years. I just sold a truck that I had for two years and put about 12,000 miles on it. And I haven't looked at it in person yet cause the seller is out of town. So what do you guys think about the mileage and reliability? I really want a gxp and this is the best I can find under $15000 around here but I want to make sure I am doing the right thing. Thanks!

That price seems high to me for the millage. Have u verified the price against Kelly Blue Book and NADA. Also try expanding your search range. It seem that depending on the part of the country your in these cars very extemely in price.

Yeah its pretty much on par with KBB and NADA.

Actually I live in KC suburbs. so kinda close to you. And the GXP ive found is in butler MO. Ive done cars.com searches for 250mi and havent found much more. But I did find one I like in North Carolina lol.. My parents are the only thing holding me back on how far we will go to buy one. I love cars so I would go anywhere to get what I want. And I havent driven one yet but sat in a few and started them at some dealers around here and REALLY liked them but they were all newer and more $$$.

I think the price is a little too high. Talk him down....
Kelly BB should be asking around $12,200 for 50,000 miles in a 2006 GXP.
What does it come with? Navigation, Touch Screen, HUD, Monsoon?
Anyways the car is AMAZING!!!!

Price is a little too high
I just purchased a 2006 GXP, 58K for 11900.

Yeah I saw that one last week but its gone now and I didn't get a chance to look at it. At least its not on cars.com anymore, I'll have to check their website.
Ok well I'll have to look at it and see what I think. And search a little more. Thanks for the help sofar!

Engines have been strong. Few tranny issues seems to be similar MO to most Grand prix's really.

i got an 08 with 22K miles for 19K

And it has everything but nav.

Sorry about the double post I'm on my blackberry and it said it didn't post the first time..

Don't all GXP's come with prem. sound? I know Nav is extra. Looking at buying a GXP myslef.

yes im pretty sure all GXP's came with the Monsoon Sound system

Ok we looked at it and drove it last night and really liked it. It had everything except nav and leather(which I didn't even know gxps came without) but since it is a gxp and can probably get a good deal I'll be fine with cloth. It was his wifes commuter car and she drove about 70 mi each way to work! So it really is mostly highway miles. The left rear fender had been brushed up against something and was repainted but didn't look the best in sunlight. But my dad though we could probably buff it out.. It was a ton faster than my 02 S10 v6.. Um. The front tires have about 10,000mi on them and the backs will need to be replaced pretty soon.. Other than that it was great.. We are going to look at a couple other vehicles tonight..

I would love to only pay 10 for it! That would only be a $600 difference to make up between selling my truck and buying this.. And the next cheapest one I can find is listed for 15k. But I still want to drive a trailblazer or explorer to see if I would rather have one of those, yes ik those two are totally different from the gxp but I do live in the country and work on my familys farm so an suv might be the better choice. Who knows..
Also has anyone on here done a blackbear tune on their gxp's? Or gt's too I guess.
