    HI All,

    Which of the 2 following GP's appears to be the better deal? Might be looking for a 2nd GP.

    Both are located locally to me.

    Thanks.

    For that price I rather buy a gtp or a gt and not a lame base model. But if I had to choose I would say option #2.. Less miles especially for the year. Downside is the 08 has the slightly updated interior but all that could be done in the future if you wanted to.

    I am thinking the same thing. The 1 owner is a plus, even though just a base. Maybe the price is negotiable. We are just starting to look and these are located 2 blocks away (05), and 3 miles for the 08.

    How important is a 1 owner car to the rest of you?

    Unless I'm spending a lot I can careless if it's a 1 owner car. Regardless it's a used car so if if everything checks out the # of owners it's a big deal. Obviously you know what to check for.

    If you ask me the price is too high on both of them. You can get a supercharged model with that kind of mileage for the same price or cheaper and have more options along with it.

    As far as one owner goes it really doesn't matter. That one owner could have beat the snot out of it and not maintained it properly. I have had both one or two owner cars and multi-owner cars and it is a crap shoot either way.
