    I'm new here been a member for month or so just browsing threads for useful info. I'm looking into buying a 03 GTP has 201k miles, coolant leak which is either elbows or lim. I'm a mechanic and do this day in day out so lim gaskets and new elbows are cake jobs, just haven't really looked too deeply into it to find the leak and know for sure as its at another dealership. I'm leaning to elbows because once it's warm it just soaks the belt in coolant near the p/s pump.

    What I want to know is $1600 too much for an 03 with over 200k? Interior is clean and body is almost perfect so if it needs a little tlc no big deal for me but don't want to over pay.

    Sounds fair. Especially if its body is decent. Drive train is easy

    Welcome to the forum.

    Car looks really clean and well taken car off for a 03 with over 200K miles.

    Been a while but that car was sold out from under me. Twice... dealer to dealer and they sold it. Still looking and they are hard to find around me for reasonable pricing.

    After having the 03 sold out from under me, I have been waiting for the right one to come across. I have wanted one of these cars a while now. Easy to maintain, good power and economy. Been lurking on the forum for some time now just browsing and learning from what others have done.

    Well finally got one, waiting for transport to deliver it. I got a 00 GTP with 147k. Paid 2800, anyway here's pics I've got from my boss from the auction.
