Default 2005 gto 6.0

So i came across what I believe is a good deal. Its a 2005 GTO, and he is asking 10,800. The cars paint is in pretty good condition, black with a couple scratches here and there. The interior is red and black. The only thing is that the car has 109,000 miles. It has new tires, and seems like it runs good. NO grinds in the tranny whatsover. Is that a good deal? Kbb list it as 10,500 in the condition its in. Just wondering how long the car will last, since it has 109k miles.

Probably a highway driver, as in 25k per yr. Most likely was not beat on but again, I'd get him under 10k.

yeah, not too sure if he will go any lower. He seemed to be pretty set on the price.

He is asking book value, offer 9k cash and I bet he would take, or settle on 9,500.

Unfortunately he drove the car until the value got sucked out of it, thats his issue.

Do these cars tend to have problems? I have a 98 Formula that has 105K and it runs great. Just getting tired of auto.

Tire wear tends to be severe and it is due to stock suspension issues, fixes has been made BUT I would go on GTO sites for specific answers.
