Wondering what common issues to look for, also wondering if this will have HUD or not, if its fairly priced..


I have also heard there are a few things you need to do to a 3800 to make them bulletproof and was wondering exactly what those were, (upper and lower intakes?)

Are the supercharged versions more likely to be more expensive to mantain and are they reliable cars for the most part?

Coming from an 01 se with a blown headgasket and a load of other issues at 155k....

I could not see the HUD and thought he would have listed it in description where did you see it?

Looks like an awesome deal! I'd hit that up as soon as possible. I believe it was '05-'08 motors that were the "improved versions" you could say. Like ctracer said because the gaskets got upgraded and such. Good luck!

Ran the carfax had an accident 50k miles ago, cant tell if serious or minor :/

Not all 05's got the updated lower gaskets, so double check it. Just look where the LIM meets the head at the ends and if you see black inbetween then you know you have to replace them. If silver then good to go.

Looks like it was flagged for removal from craigslist now anyways.

@decker, i currently have a gp 2001 se with all new parts steering wise but the headgasket blew and the transmission clunks out of first,

What do you guys think of this one?

are the miles high for the price? is it likely to have issues due to mileage?

I have heard superchargers put more wear and tear on the engine and thus will kill it quicker?

PS this is for a daily driver It will be my only car.

so you would pass on that for $6200? I dont want to end up paying more then somethings worth.

what would you say would be reasonable for the gtp
