convince a guy to sell me a wrecked grand prix

[camopaint0707]

So this guy at a local garage has a busted grand prix sitting at his shop. It has some front end damage. Left front fender is shot, headlight, bumper, not sure if the frame is hit or not. All four tires are flat/popped. Not really sure. Some visible rust. Intact interior. It is a GTP. He wants $1500 for the car, that I would have to get towed away. Is it really worth that much or can I try to convince him to sell it to me for less?

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

I wouldnt pay that much for it.

[ItHurtz]

Offer scrap value, $36 here.

I wouldnt even offer $400

[Ohara72]

I can find them for $200 and under in my area, so $1500 is a little high, for that price you can get a fairly nice one without any damage

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Maybe up to 500 dep on rocker n rear tower rust....

1500 I'll sell you a black GP coupe with a fiberglass hood, aluminum subframe, coilovers, race seat with 5 point, roll caged and gutted.

Ohh you have to tow it away. No engine or trans but Ill throw in some nice TQ stars with good tires.

Everything is for sale in my world. PM me for go fast parts, I have a mountain of them.............

so how do I convince this guy that it's not worth that much

[wowitsfast]

find some other cars in your area that run/not wrecked and show him comparisons. My car was 800 bucks already modded didnt run right or for very long but GPF guys helped me fix it. like said before 15 hundos well get you a running 150k+ GTP. I wana see a picture of this clunker

yo dont buy it, thats how. i got my 98 gs 6 years ago for 800 due to work it needed. it did run and drive tho with a solid body.

How do we convince you this car isn't even worth your purchase? There are a million plus 97-03 Grand Prixs out there. I am sure there is a better one available for the money.

[Slick2500]

I paid $1800 for my 97 with 154k miles on it back in 2010, it "needed" a new trans. Trans lasted another 30k miles. A wrecked 97-03 gp is worth scrap at best.

[camopaint0707]

it's a gtp model though, not a normally aspirated one

[SgtMarshal]

they say a fool and his money are soon parted.

You say that like it makes it difference.

[camopaint0707]

well doesn't it?

[Scottydoggs]

you could find a running gtp for less is the point........its just a grand prix, your not saving history here.

[stealthee]

Not at all.

[idrivejunk]

It seems ridiculous but if you remove the body from that GTP subframe / trans / engine / computer as a unit... its instantly worth more than if the car is attached. These poor cars have like a negative value, lol.

That car might be worth a road trip.
