    I found fully loaded gtp headsupdisplay,sunroof,leaterseats,heated seats,performance shift and every feature that was on that year.
    its a 2000 2 door gtp with 160,000 miles for 3500 sounds good to me but a few friends dont think it is any good.
    by the way like new interior and ok exterior
    any advice buy yes or no

    get some photos of it on here and i bet you can talk them down to atleast 2500 if not 3000$

    just use the scapegoat of HIGH MILES and point out any defects

    I will try to get some pics monday when i go[by the way when i get the picks up, i know that isnt the greatest color]

    Thanks for the tip, I was thinking of trying to talk him to 3000 but by the look of the car high miles is the only way I can think of puting a dent in the price

    if it were me, i'd offer 2800 and accept his counter offer of 3k. i'm not sure of the running cost in your area, that thing here would pick up at least 4k. Cars are overpriced here.

    I sold my 99 GTP for 3K with 165K miles, loaded, Interior was perfect, paint was great, I took extremely good care of it. It had some rust starting at the rear wheel wells but was pretty solid otherwise. Left a few mods on it but took most of the stuff off. I gave him an extra set of tires and bunch of other stuff with the car too. remote start/alarm, all kinds of good stuff.

    $3500 is a good asking price, but I wouldnt pay more than 2800 for it.

    I agree with u 2800 would be good becase its paint has defects when in good light and bad tires

    160k anything over 3k is insane IMO, if push comes to shove id spend a little more for less miles.

    Got a problem, pics to big to post.
    anyone know how shrink them and get them on here.
    sorry for this never have posted a pic

    like i said before,the paint has defects-fadeing ontop of the rear bumper,small dent on left side[a buggy i guess]
    tires are bad [looks like someone like to do burn-outs]
    headlights fogged
    no rust
    great interior
    engine has a bit of dirt/oil above the value cover around the fuel injetors

    A storm that came though last night broke the stores font window and the store was closed.So i didnt get to drive it or check the inside parts windows,headsupdisplay,and etc

    If that car has ZERO rust, I think it's a fair price, but 2500-3000 is more like it.
    point out any flaws, and look for rust. Expext to do repairs on the basic things like LIM gaskets, cv joint's, brakes, a/c system, heater, hoses, windshiled, and probably the transmission, if that has not been taken care of, more likely it is going to need help no matter what, even with regualr service.
    From the photos, it looks nice, I like the exterior color. Check all the body panels for matching vin numbers.
