    Ok, so I am thinking of buying this GTP for Two-Thousand bucks. What I know:


    140k
    Clean CarFax
    Body in good shape

    Ok, so the car dealership said they put a fuel pump on it, but it still needs something dealing with the power steering, as it's a little tough to turn though not so hard as to be impossible.

    Test drove it tonight, checked out the supercharger in it as much as possible just by putting the pedal to the floor up to about 50mph, as much as could get to in the parking lot. Nothing hesitated or hitched that I could tell, no problem idling or anything... so what im wondering is would this be a decent investment for 2k? With nothing going wrong in the test drive and such are there any known problems that could still be going on?

    Basically just any info from you guys, since you know way more than I do.. lol.

    other things that should be tested are ALL the gears.

    if possible try to drive the car and have it go into every gear and make WOT runs at different mphs, like 0, 25, 35, 50 to make sure it shifts good and downshifts alright.

    as for the steering, the pump may be bad or it has no fluid in it.

    but 2k for a 2000 GTP with only 140k is not a bad price at all. I would grab it if i were you after the tests.
