Default Brand New 02 CETA convertable

Seriously its brand new still at the dealer...hard to imagine nobody ever bought it but they must have marked it up like there was no tomorrow. I might be concerned about the seals and gaskets being dried out.

hmm...its says that the factory warranty wouldn't apply any longer due to year manufactured.
But if the vehicle was never titled and is in fact "brand new" wouldn't the warranty still apply from the sale date?

ah they just refused to sell it new and liked the novelty of it around. There was a place in NJ with a 87 GNX buick on the showroom floor untill 2005 it was NOT for sale just for show brand new. I think a collector offered them an amount no one would turn down for it.

This is probably my favorite TA but $25,000 (stock)..... im not sure! that's not including the shippin charges. Don't get me wrong if I had a "spare" 25000 laying around I would get it, and its worth every dollar, but you could just buy a used one and restore it for less than 25000. I still don't believe it has only 200 ****** miles!!! They should air this **** on the news, its really that important

Or maybe not, since the reserve was not met @ $25100. I bet they want well over $30K for it, probably even more.

There's something they aren't telling you. If it were totally new and had never been titled it would come with the full factory warranty. Sitting on a dealer's lot doesn't void the warranty if its "new" no matter how long it sat there.

If $25K would buy it I would drive out to CA from GA and pick it up this weekend. I bet the reserve is over $40K. Hell sticker should be around $35K on it...and I garentee you they wont more than sticker for it.

And comparing it to one you could buy and restore is retarded.

Yea! I might have gotten beside myself with the comparison!!! They are asking for a lot 25000 was a nice round number for a new WS6, but the whole NO WARRANTY thing makes it a bit risky!!! I have mixed feelings about this just! The pros and cons are very equal.

i dont think pontiac would want to back up the dealer on a warranty, considering it is old. age hurts a car, even if not driven. hell, i taught my dad to drive a stick on for sale cars so he can drive my car a little every other sunday while im in college so everything is in nice order when i get back.

Doesn't matter what Pontiac wants to do, if its a "new" car it would come with the standard warranty. Obviously its been titled before or the warranty would still be intact.
