Default Should I or Shouldn't I

I thinking about trading in my Trans Am and buying an 05 GTO
heres the autotrader link
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...000&cardist=90
the gto as u can see has 124000 miles on it i'm pretty sure its mostly high way how else would u put that many miles on it in 3 years..lol..but anyways let me know if i should. My trans am has what the sig says and 98k miles on it..just curious how well do u guys think the ls2 will hold up with that many miles, when i start modding it? or should i just save a likl more and buy one with fewer miles.? so give me your opinions and advice..thanks

thats worth maybe 9 or 10 grand, no way 14. if your gonna pay 14 for that, why not just spend 20 and get one with like 20k miles. lol

Nice car. I personally think that he's asking way too much, you can buy some 04's with less than half that mileage for the same price. The difference in model years with that price doesnt justify in my opinion. I think the right price should be around 10-11K, or lower for that matter, either or, just my 2 cents.

Is there a doctor nearby? Runs so smoothly, you may need to borrow a stethoscope.

All I can say is it is a LOT of miles on an '05 anything. Look for another that has less miles.

Looks like they won't deal off the "special internet pricing" since it says 15990 on the windshield. I love the color personally, but i'd wait for a lower mileage one to come along. Regardless of highway or city mileage things still wear out. If you really wanted it, i'd lowball them and see if they'd deal on it. I love the newer GTOs. Except i only got the drivetrain...

How the **** does someone put that many miles on a car so quickly? That's insane!

But riddle me this, highway miles vs city miles. Does it really mean ****?

They literaly drove it until the wheels burned off. I paid $18,000 for mine in sept 07 with 19000 miles on it. There is way better deals to be had.
