I HATE you but want to keep you.

[2001goldGTP]

only things that have gone wrong with my GTP is the driver window reg one time and the factory deck wont play cds. any other issue that have came up where direct results of moding.

I am the second owner, if i believe the dealer, it was owned by a woman that lived in cocoa beach area. The axles were not warrantied, it had over 100k, both front bearings because one started to make noise and then shortly after i replaced that one i checked the other and it was really worn, lots of play.

I understand the coolant elbows are a common problem and now i see that the LIM is another common problem.

As for normal maint i have done all basic maint since i have owned it. I have replaced the plugs twice in three years but to replace another wheel bearing after maybe 20k of use bad replacement is what i think.

I quess what im doing is deciding if i want to keep replaceing parts or get a different vehicle, something newer. oh well. thanks for the feedback. All cars have there problems just tired of them comeing right after another.

well believe the dealer if you want. short story: I went to look at GXPs about a month ago. I test drove one the guy told me the previous owner was an old couple. then i popped the trunk there was padding for subs the center console was cut upon ispection for a dvd player i guess. and the front end sounded like it had 100k on it. I confronted them about it caught them in a lie. transmission fluid also smelt funny. 32k on it. it was a crying shame

Dang, I know this was few post ago but dido my car dealer told me my car was drove by a older couple.When I was inspecting it, I found speaker wires in the back,under the hood,and even underneath the car(also a box shaped indention in the carpet in the back).I have been lucky on the car eccept for tranny issures after puting 30k on the car mostly made of backroad miles.
Dont listen to any bs from someone trying to sale you something,always inspect

@ a3gtp, yea on average driving back roads i got around 16-18 mpg. i had 4:10 s and a whole lotta mods. ported intake and heads aswell as 5 angle valve job etc.......... i dont have enough room to put them all down. it was loud and fast and i drove it to make it louder. i scared the hell out of a cop once with it and he just looked at me and smiled with thumbs up.

as for dealers i dont trust them at all, i used to be a tech at several so i know they are all slime. I looked at it and it seemed good to go. had a small exhaust leak from the cat and they replaced it. only thing that i saw and didnt like was it was totally undercoated. i mean the trunk inside, the hood and engine bay also. but it makes sense since it was in the ocean air everyday. Just means someone paid up the a$$ for that "upgrade"..

I love to act stupid when i go to dealers and then correct them. They dont know which way to go after that.

i guess i got one that needs work. I guess it dosnt help either that im not a big gm fan. Dont hate me because i said that but my dislike of the car makes it break more. superstitious i guess.

Im gonna keep it for another year and see how it goes. if its still giving me problems then ill look into something else.

Thanks for all your feedback.
