Absolutely , it seems to be a great price ....You never know what is exactly wrong with the car unless you go and drive it and have a mechanic look at it ....If it is all there and you are looking for a fun street/race car that you can mod for a few bucks and get her in the 11's and 10's ...I think it would be a great buy...

Check it out before you buy.
Might be a solid deal as it costs about the same to buy a crashed one and fix it.

Hey man whats the price of the car. I got mine for a steal from a dealership that someone traded in. 2004 red gto but with that red paint that only came on 500 of the gtos and not to mention the original owner only used the car a day or so a week and never took out in the rain either. Car was un real on how clean it was. All it needed was a few mods like exhaust, intake, new rims and tires and of course i tinted the **** out of it. Car had only 12800 miles on it and i paid after tax 15,290 so that to me was an incredible deal.

That would be called "Pulse Red"

I dunno, sounds like a pretty good deal to me, pre-tax/title/reg price was what, $13,900 or so? Not too bad a price on a stock 12K mile car that's never even seen rain. JMO.

Its a great deal to those that base GTO values off of what they see them for sale for on forums.

Thankfully many dealers know what the car is really worth which is why i am on GTO #2.

And hey for a pleasent suprise GTO owners should take a quick glance at their KBB values.

actually it was 13500 then after all the other taxes and stuff it came 15290. I thought it was a great deal. I would of rather a black one but its the only one they had there and thank god it was a 6 speed or else i prob would of not bought it. The car really looked like it was never drove. If they cleared the odometer to 6 miles i would of believed it. But are there better deals out there then that. Im sure there are in the world of the internet but it is what it is.

I would stay away from a car that has been in a major wreck/salvaged, for a few reasons. Just my .02
