    Base model with way too many miles ! I have an 05 CompG GTP with 73k and it was appraised at $7500. The problem with that price is that later on your buddy is going to want to top swap and add more money to it , basically let him buy a GTP off the bat with lower miles even if he has to spend a bit more $$ just my 2 cents.

    we got this link...http://www.grandprixforums.net/97-03...ems-60802.html this covers the basics.

    your best bet always is to take the car to a shop pay the guy to look over the car with you. could be the best 50 to 100 bucks spent. that way your getting a real good look under it, and have a mechanics thoughts on how it looks and what problems it has or could have in the near future.

    my car was for sale for 1600. i took it to a shop and after that i had the leverage to buy it for 800.

    140,000 aint to bad, they live for a long time if taken care of. that one you posted seems to be missing the important part, the blower lol

    other than then that it looks like a clean car. price aint to bad, but it could have problems like any used car.

    due to his price range, he cant exactly spend any more than that, and we have been searching for quite a long time for cars for him (like 8 months!)
