Default Sold my GXP

Hey everyone,

I sold my 2006 GXP. It was black with tan interior. Fully loaded with 39,500 on the clock. Carmax gave me 11k. I went through front brakes, never bought tires though I did use a separate set of winters for one season. It was a good car but was starting to exhibit the early signs of trans failure. The random torque converter lock and unlock. So I am working on putting something else in the driveway.

Thanks for the help over the years,

John

Nooooo! I would have given you 12k hell, 13k. I have someone waiting to buy my Jeep but I'm trying to find the perfect GXP. Arggghhhh!

Well, at least you enjoyed the car! Congratz on whichever car you purchase next.

I found a car and needed to get rid of it faster than normal, otherwise I would have put up for sale ads.

Damn I didn't think you were going through with the carmax! I have a bite on mine right now, guys coming to test drive it this weekend. Although carmax low balled me terribly so I would have never given it to them lol

GL with the new ride!

Even without a lot of the awesome GXP options I do. Some people thought I was nuts to give up suede, nav, sunroof, HUD, auto climate, etc... for the GTO... I only miss the HUD.

For me personally -
Suede, makes me sweat, always looks dirty.
Nav, never needed to use navigation, if I need it I use my Droid
Sunroof, havent used it since I bought it.
Hud, this is about the only useful option I like.
Auto Climate, never use it. . .

I love the GTO seats.

The wife also authorized look at Vettes. I decided to be more pratical and get the GTO. I sold the deal with the seats though. I prefer the GTO interior to the C5 vette. The C6 is a trade off.

I loved the auto climate. I will also miss remote start.

What are your thoughts on a white one, with no sunroof and cloth interior?

I have never seen a "stripper" GXP before... I heard they exist though.
