    Hello, I'm Brian. I'm 16 and I just purchased my first car today: a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Supercharged. Since I bought it this morning, I have fell in love with this car and wish to discuss Grand Prix vehicles with other owners. Thanks!

    I'll see about getting some pics up soon. The color is silver but it appears to have a tan-ish tint to it. The body is a sedan. It just hit 47k miles. As for the overall condition, I would say it is good-to-great. It has a couple minor scratches and scrapes. The only interior problem is that the door panel on the driver side is a bit loose and the window could use a windstrip. Tomorrow I will be replacing the air filter and changing the oil. It's kind of odd.-I've searched down miles and miles of car lots for away only to find this hidden treasure in a car lot just 3 miles from my house. It almost seems like it was meant to be.

    wow only 47k on it, you must have got a good deal or something.

    the stock air box and tubing is restricting the air flow and it baffles it to prevent the supercharger whine.

    Welcome, 47K is amazingly low miles. I'm about to hit 140K on my 2000 myself.

    yes the color is bronzemist, great color. Only 47k miles man you did find a nice gem. I thought my buy was nice at 78k lol.

    once you replace the intake youll start hearing some s/c whine, be warned however once you hear it it gets addicting. if you do want to mod id really suggest you read through the thead posted earlier ( or in my sig) alot of your initial questions will be answered there. Good luck to you man, have fun

    Believe me I will. The atonishing thing about it is that I got it for only $6,000. No accidents or collisions. The title is clean.
