    2000 Grand Prix GTP
    110,000 miles on it.

    I bought it from a older couple that didn't want it anymore because they said it sits low for them and the sport suspension is too ruff for them.

    Its super clean and I love it.

    For 4k, I'd say you defiantly got a solid deal.

    I'd probably get 6k out of that down here.

    I did a ton of research about car prices and options and so on. I figured to car was worth about 4600 if it was in perfection condition. I was able to talk them down a few hundred bucks to get it a $4000. I too think I got a great deal.

    Really? GTPs must be cheap as hell up here. That car would have sold for 2500-3000 here. S***, CompG's are going for 6500-7000

    Every single gasket on the top of the motor was replaced, three years ago. They had the paper work to prove it too. They said the LIM went and as long as had it apart they just went ahead and did everything.

    It was solid buy for $4000 and cars up here more expensive. Comp G's are selling for like 8-9k right now.


    And to go with whoever said "they didnt want but still put 110k on it", If you avg. the milage over the years its only 11k a year, so thats nuthing. I have the title here that says in 2006 it only had 83k on it and now 110k, so 27k in 4 years is not bad at all.

    I still have a few things to do yet.

    1. coolant change
    2. S/C oil change
    3. Oil change
    4. wash it and the engine bay.

    lucky me that the tranny fluid was just done and its still blood red.

    thanks for quoting a million pics just to ask that...

    To the OP, the reason the "sport suspension" is too rough is because the struts are gone.

    If they got new struts it would have rode much better.

    Now you should do the same but get AGX coilovers....

    Looks like you got a good deal.

    Where did you find it? Denny Hecker garage sale?
