    Thats not always true. There are exceptions. Didn't an old junky Bugatti recently get pulled out of a lake somewhere in the UK & get sold for a couple million?

    Just keep the Daytona. Seems like you got a good buy but I doubt you'd be able to turn around & make profit off of it. It's just a Grand Prix. Do the normal maintenance on it & keep it for yourself.

    Ah that was a bugatti this is a Grand Prix. There's a huge difference. Bugatti's are collectors or people are willing to spendthe coin to get one. He bought a Grand Prix

    No Grand Prix will ever be an investment. You can polish a turd as much as you want it's still a turd. My advice to the OP is flip it now as in put it on craigslist, eBay, etc. today.

    A daytona with 33,000 miles in good condition is by no means a turd to people who love this platform. Yes its a Grand Prix but he got it at a good price with room to make cash. How do you think car dealers stay up. Getting cars at a good deal and then selling them no different here. by the sounds of things he by no means has a turd
    1998 GS with Open cone, PLOG, ZZP Catless DP, tune & Intense MPS 3.6. Pulls good enough to make the woman smack me and call me a D!*k.

    There's always an idiot out there who will pay $7,000+ for a car that is 11 years old and will need parts replaced. It doesn't matter how low of miles it has on it. Age plays a role in having to replace mechanical parts too. My phrase polishing a turd had more to do with it still being a Grand Prix no matter how many special names you throw at.

    Because an 11 yearold car is just unheard of to be a decent car. ANYWAY to me Grand Prixs arent turds just because its not a ZR1 or some **** doesnt make it a turd. On that note this dude will make cash and sell it for a decent price since he got it for a damn good one. Makes no one an idiot.

    As I said in my previous post the person who buys it is an idiot. You obviously don't understand my turd comment. Apparently your reading comprehension is on a middle school level.

    Hmm so the person that buys it is an idiot because you say so? I understand your turd comment just fine I just think that is flat out dumb. Theres people out there that want a Daytona and would love one with 33,xxx miles but that makes them an idiot because you say so and your just king ****. On this lovely note your annoying. Oh and apparently your right about my reading level because somone doesnt have the stupid view you do and thats hard for you to comprehend.

    Im done with slow. To the OP good luck with your sale Im done taking up space on your thread on ^^
