Thread: Why was my GTP so cheap?

As already mentioned, prices vary a lot by the area. Some of you are just greedy, refusing to pay the asking price and low balling the hell out of it. Then when it comes time to sell it you refuse to let it go under a certain price. Sounds an awful lot like dealership car sales tactics. You just always have to make money, don't you.

There's a difference here.

I'm not selling my W-bodies.

Hell yes i want to pay as little as possible for the best car i can find. You don't make money by wasting it like a sucker.

I paid more in an effort to get a reliable vehicle for the winter. I did not want to mess around in mn winter with replacing expensive parts such as an engine or transmission or have it break down in the middle of the road as you normally would with buying a used vehicle for ~$1000. Yes I consider these cars beaters; while others consider camaros, c5 and c6 corvettes beaters. It just irritates me when people shop around for a car and expect top of the line options, low miles, super clean with no rust/dents/scratches, but refuse to pay the price for it. When they finally find someone who doesn't have the time to put up with their bs and just gives in, they go around and brag about the steal they just got on the car, wait a year and sell it for twice the value they "stole" it for. All so they can blow the money on strippers, speeding tickets and beer. Makes sense if you don't think about it. People just always have to find a way to make money on everything in one way or another. I guess I will never understand it. Corporate America at its finest.

If you buy it cheap, there's more money for mods.

FYI My '04 GTP is stock but retuned for 89oct
And my '00 Regal GS is modded and tuned for 87oct.

Again, Only a sucker pays KBB or asking price for that matter.
Say what you will to make yourself feel better though, guy.
