    Basically I have had my GT for 6 months but a beautiful silver 01 GTP coupe with the se spoiler and hood has come up for sale. Everything I was looking for when I was looking for a car but obviously there was none around at that time. What do you guys think?

    I know I want to but I would have to hear about this from everybody I know and I mean everybody lol. Its not the fact that I skip from car to car but the fact is that lets say this GTP needed work after I bought it lets say a month later and I know my GT is top condition as of now, I would never hear the end of it from my parents. Not like I care because its my money and I do what I want with my money but thats whats keeping me back from pulling the trigger if you know what I mean. I recently test drove a nice black GTP and all I gotta say is damn lol. Love that heads up display and even the leather.

    It only has 109k miles. The rotors look like they just need the breaks applied to knock of the rust. And swap the headlights from your GT. I'd do it, but thats definitely after a test drive and inspection.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    Im from Canada so thats kms. As for the rotors most likely just from sitting there, all cars seem to be like that around here if they just sit around but they would clean up after you drive for a bit. As for the headlights I would be getting new ones as well with taillights.

    The list of things every w body needs is something no one acknowledges.

    Do not pay more than 2500-3000 for this.

    Special edition means nothing in the long run, just like gtp means nothing.

    Gm pleather isnt great, hud fails often etc.

    Man that looks like a nice car. I did notice that the bumpers look like a little different shade color, maybe they were refinished? or has the
    car been in an accident? HAve the LIM gaskets bees changed to the better ones?
    Price seems kinda high but hopefully the lot is negotiable. How does it drive?

    Havnt seen it yet due to the fact its about an hour and a half away from me. Im still debating on even going to look because theres a few black 02 GTPs that look good and are $2999. Around same mileage also give or take 5000-10 000kms. Also just considering doing the top swap on my car. I dont know what im doing yet lol. Alot to consider. I might even look for something a litttle older lets say 98 because I get raped on what I pay for my 03.

    I bought mine without leather and it's a gt. I paid too much but that's ok because I wanted it bad enough. If you wanted it enough, and it was in good shape, then I would go for it.
