After owning the GTO for a while, you'll probably want to sell the Monte anyway haha.

where is this cars dealer or car located at?
I think my brother was going to go look at this car if it's located in GA, and the dealer kept being an ******* and when we were about to come down there he started adding dealer fees and blah blah blah so he ended up getting a Z06.
If it is located in south GA, somewhere near Macon I think, wouldn't do it.

Anything with a V8 is dropping like a rocket. Most dealers won't even take big SUV's or
V8 powered cars for trade in's anymore.
My high school shop teacher told me a story about a guy back in the mid 70's (during the gas shortage era) who bought a whole **** load of muscle cars and big block engines for dirt cheap. Later on in the late 80's he sold everything for big bucks. If yo want resale value then buy a Lexus and don't drive it.

Nice car, I see your awesome catless down pipe for the MC is now for sale. That "sport", or whatever, grille definately makes those GTO's look better if you ask me. I wonder why the GTO's aren't as quick as Trailblazer SS's though .

Just a bump for the other Canucks.

Seems that Transport Canada and the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (aka Big Brother) have determined that Canadian bumper standards no longer need to be higher than the American and European standards.

This means that the GTO's have been removed from the "banned" list and we can import them into Canada now.
