    So I'm starting to get that itch to upgrade one of these cars(even though I know I shouldn't). But I was looking at some cars and came across this. Not really sure how much these cars are going for nowadays. Looks like a good deal.

    Yea that's something I was thinking to myself..could you not of taken 20 mins to run it through a car wash. Reminds me of all the filthy crap you find on Craigslist and folks wonder why it doesn't sell.

    It's at least worth checking out for that price. You probably won't find a GXP for cheaper that then again.. Prepare for potential repairs.

    Looks like it was a fleet/rental car at one point.

    Side note... Isn't there a saying about how rental cars get treated?

    If it's close, you don't have anything to lose by giving it a look. Heck, test drive it, if they let you.

    It might be a fixer-upper, but for the price, it could potentially be well worth it.

    Doesn't hurt to drive it. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.
    Let us know!

    A good dealer wouldn't post pics of a dirty car and headliner online.
    Seems like he isn't proud of the car - probably has a costly repair list and just wants to break even

    Looking at the history of my car it was a fleet/rental car too. It was only used for 9,000 miles before it went to auction so it probably just got broke in really good before it went to a regular owner.
