car swap

**1998gt** · 04-02-2014

im thinking of selling my 1998 gt for a 1998-2002 gtp. i have found two locally. one is a 1998 with 160k and the other is a 2002 with 135k.

im in the market for forced induction

Ok... Well, I'd go with the 02 GTP since it has less miles on it. If you can check them both out in person then look for the common issues (rust, trans. issues, suspension, etc) and go from there. What are they asking for the 98 and 02 GTP?

the 1998...2500 obo
2002....3800 firm.

Keep in mind you gotta figure in miles per yr too, going off that the 98 has less miles per yr

short trips and sitting is also bad fer a car....low mile isn't always great

evaluate each vehicle on its own.

went and looked at the 1998 gtp today....it was rough...and heres the scary part...the car hadnt been started or moved all winter, and when they did finally start it and move the car a freeze plug had popped out of the engine. car had rust, the driver door was catching the front fender, there was a dent on the passenger fender. and without any asking the price dropped considerably. also i had noticed the driver rear quarter had been replaced, the windshield was cracked and who ever did the intake gasket job sure loved blue rtv.... i think this one i will pass on
