These are very reliable cars, so as a DD and nothing more that is not a bad deal if the car is in good working order. Have a knowedgeable person check it first, top to bottom. Areas of primary concern are transmission/differential for leaks, brakes/lines (upgrade to 05/06 brakes would be a good idea) and suspension (everything wears pretty quick but keep an eye on the struts and bushings). Honestly, although these cars are getting harder to find in good shape, deals are out there. If you are in no hurry I suspect you can find a lower mileage GTO for no a whole lot more.

haha if I had the cash Id flow down and gets yours, but unfortunately Ive got a crappy audi (worst car Ive ever owned) Id have to trade in, Ive found a few others, and high mileage doesnt bother me because I plan on doing a top end engine build with cam and heads within a year. Im heading out this weekend to look at a few real clean goats in the area, wish me luck

I got mine off ebay, actually. I like Autotrader. I usually use Autotempest . com, if gives you several sites to look from.
