Thread: Why was my GTP so cheap?

I don't think that is a terrible deal considering the miles. I paid 6100 in 2005 for mine with 79k on it. But that was in 2005. You might have paid a little on the high side but it does have low miles and it seems to be in good condition. If you like it that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Actually he's correct. GTP wasn't a trim in 97 it was a package:
It was a $1,233 upgrade.



Not a bad price OP. What are your plans for the car?

Being in NJ, he's seeing about the same prices as I do in CT. $5K for a 97 is very high. The mileage is the only factor that brings price back up and yet.. $5K still seems quite high for any 97. However if the mileage were to stay low the car would be a collector quality car in no time. It's already almost an antique.

FWIW my neighbor got into her 2002 Dark Blue GT with 97K on the clock for ~$1200. Condition was bad, and that 1200 was after a new nose, fresh paint etc.

Problem with a car that old and mileage that low is you'll be doing all kinds of dry rot, flat spotted wheel bearings etc kinda stuff soon.

Well Im hoping all the problems are gonna stay away for a while. It was garage kept and regularly maintained.

Thank YOUU!!!
I'm probably just going to be doing some basic mods for now, or when ever I get money. 3.4 pully, ubend delete, new plugs, new wires, 3" dp, CAI. Then after that I figure ill have some more exhaust work done. Headers, mufflers, tips, and maybe some electric cut outs. I want it to be pretty quiet but loud when I want it.


Prices for cars must be pretty bad around here. About a year or 2 ago I bought my 99 SE for 2500 from a dealer with 128k. Now I look back on how big of a mistake it was.

Try a 3.4 after headers. get a good tune for it. forget the catback if that is as far as you'll take it.

Why was my GTP so cheap?

Answer in title:

GTP

It's sad, but these cars don't hold their value for crap...

Well I just bought my 97 GTP for $1200 with 143k on the clock and I believe I came off good. And when I totalled my 2000 GTP Geico gave me $5000 for it

Ya, ST. Farm quoted me 5500 a year ago if it were ever to be totaled.

To lazy toread but the gtp package was changed to a trim level in 99

Insurance is better too concidering I drive a gt to anyone who looks the car up

My GTP was only about $10 more per yeah than my SE

I paid 3200 for mine, but it had a lot of stuff finished already; had a great list of mods on it. I didn't have to do a whole lot to bring it to a point I was comfy with. Were it not for the mods I wouldn't have paid more than 1500 for it, and that'd be stretching it.

I think that damn car was work every penny of $4800, it was garage kept which means no rust possibly and low damn mileage. Your not going to find it for lower at least not around here, some dumb ass was $8,000 at a deal with 150K miles on it

97's are nothing but headaches............ low mileage or not, if he plans on doing any modding, he'll regret the 97 choice.

But to each is his own.....if you don't feel like you were taken, well good for you! Good luck with the car.

I don't care I love it.
Worth every penny.
