Considering a '08 GP GXP 55K miles - your thoughts?

**RichardH** · 04-10-2013

Hi everyone - brand new to the forum, and am hoping to get your help as I decide whether or not to buy a used GP GXP. Cosmetically, the car appears spotless in the photos I've been sent and has for an '08 fairly low miles (55K). The price is comparable to others I'm finding on online sites ($13.5K). The car is about 150 miles from me though, so before taking a drive out to check it out in person I thought I'd ask two questions - 1) would you recommend buying it? 2) Anything special to the GP GXPs I should particularly look out for? If I do decide to take the plunge, I'm reading that I'll need to add a tranny cooler if the current owner hasn't already. Anything else I should expect? Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Talk to you soon!

Be sure to check the trans thoroughly, make sure it shifts smooth and that the fluid is red rather then brown. A trans cooler is a must on the GXP other then that check the normal stuff that you would on any other car and check the struts and make sure they are still good (Billsteins) are somewhat expensive if you have to replace them and if they're worn factor that into the price. Good luck seems like a good car based off your description.

Thanks Red, I appreciate it! Has anyone had one of these for several years? What do you think about the car now that you've had it awhile?

I've had mine for awhile and live it! U can see mine in my SIG. I did put an extra tranny cooler on it which is pretty much a must and I've also pit a shift kit in. Is the guy ur buying it from the only owner? Also they do burn a little oil but that's normal
