That looks just like the one I bought a few weeks ago.
If this helps, I was told when I was looking at GTO's to pay attention to the paint job because they've been known to have paint issues. (Luckily the one I bought was in a garage most of its life.)
I am experiencing some issues with the interior door panels that started almost as soon as I got the car, but it shouldn't be a big fix. Just the cloth bubbling off probably due to sitting in the FL heat with no tint.
Also heard the steering wheel bubbles.

But, like I said, I only just bought the car. I don't have as much experience with them as those who might've owned a GTO longer.

That blue/blue is fairly rare. I just got my GTO last week. Only thing I have found that I wish I would have seen before I got the car is the headliner. It's like the foam in the backing is messed up.

Rear springs sag and front radius bushings and strut bushings are prone to failure. All should be upgraded regardless. Any other problems are sporadic like on all cars but overall they're pretty reliable. Mine's had those three things addressed as well as having one door lock actuator go bad but in 7 years the rest of the car has been flawless.
