I can't believe how dumb some people are. $42k for an 04 GTO. They sure saw him coming!

He paid $3k over MSRP. In the great Pacific Northwest (land of microsoft zillionaires) they are charging up to $10k over MSRP.

$3K over isn't that bad. Some people are just impatient. I wouldn't call him a "moron".

Now, whoever bought the two SSR trucks here in Houston for $85K are total morons.

Ok, maybe not a moron, but i'm not sure why he felt the need to have the car for that hassle. Not to mention the undercarriage coating, etc...

I would say since he bought the "rust proofing" and "paint sealer" that he got taken for more than the $3K markup.

Yeah, most of us were surprised. My impatience has never cost me 3 grand. At least he was honest. If I paid that, I'd lie about it. And that's the truth..................or is it?

All SSRs are way jacked up in price, even the ones on e-bay are riduclous.

How about the people paying like 3 grand just for the right to buy a GTO.

Yeah - the crazy thing is that most of the GTO's on ebay aren't selling. There are 2 'right to buy' auctions with bids, and 2 cars around $20k (not meeting the reserve yet of course) with bids, but none of the 7 or 8 cars at or around MSRP have bids at all.

When I bought my TA they had a GTO on the lot. They were asking 10,000 over MSRP. He said they would let it out the door for 3k over msrp. So that sounds about right.

If paying that much didn't make him a moron ...

Anyway, does anyone know how to recline the front seats? The manual is pretty vague and talks about the lever but i couldnt get it to do anything when I was sitting down. What silly mistake am I committing?
That should ....

When did you buy your 2002 T/A? Was this some kind of leftover?
