I'm about to go look at a gto but I wanted to know what a good price would be ? the guy is asking 21k but I think thats too much given what it is. any input on this? I dont want to get shafted on my first gto

That is way too much.

I paid the same on a 2006 21k mile GTO over 5 years ago.

Somewhere in the 17-18k range would be acceptable, these aren't collector's cars or anything.

SSellers

NADA clean retail on it is $17.5k, and that's with a $4400 bonus for the low mileage.
Trade is $14.5k.
Use KBB to sell, NADA to buy 'cause that's what the dealers do.

I know this isnt very comparable but I just bought a really clean 2005 A4 with 84K miles for only $12,800. brans new tires, radiator, brakes, rotors, struts, shocks, and a few other things.


I wouldnt buy unless you can come away happy that you STOLE it. Its a buyers market just the same as the home market IMO. Theres deals everywhere. Ive seen several on here I wish I would of flew to pickup instead of my purchase but I still got a deal on mine. They vary from Lightly to heavily modded, most very well taken care of, tons of money poured into them and still great cars for much less than the asking price of the one youre looking at. just my .02... Good luck!!

yep this is true honestly in my opinion i think anywhere from 13500-15K would be a reasonable offer. not sure if your needing financing either but most banks and credit unions wouldnt allow financing above 14,500 based off the year of the car either. Im going off nada value which is what my credit union uses

I recently bought an M6 2006 w/ ~60K on the clock for $16,500. It has the SAP package and went through a certified used process at 50K miles.

I wouldnt pay over $19K for that Goat unless its really clean, built or something.

That is a very rare color. I have that color with an auto trans and 17" wheels I'm 1 of 368 built in that combo. There is only one more rare combo than that. That color was only done in 05 and many weren't done in that color period. There are not many of these cars left on the road as there were only a total of around 48,000 total produced over 3 years. With that low of miles, if its real clean I'd say its worth it. These cars are slowly starting to go up in value now. The G8 GXP has held its price the entire time since production has stopped. What one person may pay and feel is a good deal another may not, it just depends on how you feel about the car. I will say owning a goat isn't cheap. The have a higher tax than vette's on aftermarket parts but you don't see many period and the number keeps dropping every year.

I'm gonna have to agree on this one. I mean yeah sure, you should talk him down a couple grand, but if this is a car you plan on holding on to and making sweet, then I'd say go for it. It's not a dime-a-dozen mustang or camaro (no offense intended) but finding these cars unmodded and with low miles is becoming increasingly more difficult.

Well I ended up getting it for 18k. There isn't a dent on the car at all. The only issue is the rear headrest tear. The car came with jhp gauges and some Holden parts, 2 dif sets of engine covers ect.

Congrats. 18K is fair market value. These cars will some day be collectible as they thin out over the years.

you got him down. thats good.

im sure this owner experienced similar people like i did trying to low ball then back out like i did when i briefly tried to sell mine.


im betting thats partly why it had a high asking price.

07g35xnick

i have no doubt thats why he started so high. I think I got a deal

07g35xnick

Thanks!

DudeManGTO

I looked for months for an MBM, all the ones I found were either beat to hell with high miles or asking price was out of my budget.... I ended up getting a 05 QSM with red interior, which im happy with, but still would have died for a low mile MBM...... Congrats!

Congrats. I sold my MBM in 2009 for $18k with nearly the same miles. Nice to see they've not tanked in value. Enjoy it... and post pics!

I wouldn't even take $25,000 for mine. I've put 30k miles on it in 7 years plus everything has been re-done and some custom one-0ff parts. I couldn't even think of a number that would get me to come off mine. Congrats on getting him down and take good care of it. Not many of these cars left especially in our color. If it has 17's with an auto there were only 368 with that combo from the factory.
