    Alright guys, This is my first post on this site and I have a question. I found a really clean GPGT and was thinking about buying it. But Before I do, I wanted to know what you guys think? It's a one owner car, the guys brother was a mechanic at GM and did a lot of work to it. He said he would just bring it in and do warrantys on it and replace parts that he though would eventually go (Intake, etc.). It has 180,000km on it, no rust, super clean body and interior,HUD, Sunroof, Brand new tires. It does have a crack in the windshield, but it's on the passenger side so it shouldn't affect the saftey. Also, what should I look for when I take a look at it?


    Thanks for the help guys.

    Here's a link:

    If you choose to eventually replace the windshield, just remember that it will be around 2x the price of a normal windshield, since you will have to get a special one that works with the HUD

    Some people have good/bad results with getting a regular windshield... just what I have seen. Probably depends on how particular you are about the clarity of the digits.

    Well, I bought it. He is going to have it certified and etested for $3250. He's going to replace the windsheild and the front left wheel bearing. I'm hoping to have it sometime during next week.
