    He's prob just starting high to see if he gets any offers.

    I think $6000 would be fair as long as it was super clean with VERY low miles and minimal rust.

    LOL, I saw that a while ago, and passed right over it. I do love the medium golf blue, but this is the problem with these "rare" cars. People don't seem to understand how supply and demand works. "The supply is low on these cars". Yeah, but so is the demand, jackass. You have to have both parts of the equation in order for that to work. This "special edition" is nothing more than a decal, and a couple plaques. Hardly something that makes it a collectible (or even worth anything more than a "regular" GTP, for that matter). But if you tried to explain this to the seller, he'd think YOU'RE the idiot. After all....he's sitting on a gold mine. IT'S RARE!

    Screw that. Black, silver and white are a dime a dozen. The medium gulf blue rules, especially when cleaned up and properly detailed. It almost looks like incandescent light in the sun.

    I concur about this blue being more for us women. My Dakota is this color basically.

    If you thought $10k was bad for a REAL Special Edition, make sure you swallow whatever you're drinking before clicking on this:
    1997 Pontiac Grand Prix in sparta, NC 28675: Sedan Details - 261278265 - AutoTrader.com

    He used to have a $15k price tag on it too. Guess he came to his senses, but not enough.

    ive owned GTX and daytona 500 models and when selling them all i can say is... people dont care about rarity its still just a grand prix to them. when selling my 2nd GTX i was asking 3500 and people were kicking me on it. so i parted it out and over time ive made close to 7000 from it go figure

    That thing looks like a donk that was sold to a ricer who didn't have enough money for a S2000, but sold his Civic.

    But I'm just guessing...

    that's funny he show all the crappy exterior/interior pics and i like how he mention all the horse power the car have, but does not have any pic of the engine bay. removing cat- converter will give +10 more hp? i didn't know that

    Thanks guys.... its good to know that my medium gulf blue GTP and Nassau Blue C5 are chick colored cars....

    I love the MGBM and I love the Pace Car decals. I sought after the car for the colors and decals specifically. Its like the Nismo 350z... you're paying for the cosmetics. I didn't pay much more for the car than I would've had I got a regular GTP, but I feel it was worth it.

    Hey, think about it, people put on makeup and pay a lot of money to look better on the outside, but it doesn't change the way the body works on the inside.
