Yeah its kinda like a fat chick booty call. You don't like the idea at first, but once you get in its all the same except with a little more cushion. I used to hate the GTO's too but now I like 'em. Much more comfortable.

Its not far off $12,500 to me. It does look clean, just more miles than I would pay $12,500 for. Don't take insult to the car. It looks great.

Its also a good thing that I didn't put $12,500 into the car that was just his asking price. Cash talks.

I looked at cars for 8 months before I bought one. I don't think $12.5 is outta line for that car. It looks very clean and that's not really that many miles.

I think you did good on the purchase.

Default new engine

I guess that would be a plus now the engine only has 24,000 miles on it. LOL
I am fixing to add a custom ground cam with a set of PRC stage 2.5 5.3 heads so at least it will stay together a little longer. Hey maybe I got a ls6 short block in the deal.
