Would My GTP Make it to Arizona?

**Joshmoshh** · 02-18-2013

I was wondering if you guys think my car would make it to arizona and live long as a daily driver,
Right now It has 268k miles but I put about 4 grand into it..
New
----
Inner/outter Tie Rods
Rear struts
4x Bearings
Rotation
Tires
Control arm
Trailing Arm
plugs
Wires
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
seafoam
Transmission
Bottom end
Head gasket
MAF sensor
I think that's about it.. but yeah, Should I take this car to arizona or snag me a Newer GTP with lower miles?

Where did you get the "bottom end" done? Was it a machine shop or just a used longblock?

Besides that, I don't see why you couldn't make it. Mileage isn't much as long as the car has been maintained. I have more than that on my 00 GT and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it that far.

Up to you on selling and picking up a newer one. Question is, are you buying someone else's problems if you decide to get a newer one. Then you have a car payment as well. Unless yours is just rusting apart and has more things NOT working that do work I'd be inclined to keep it.

Well, I was going to go to a dealer and pick one up lol, but Nah my car has no rust and has been well maintained.
Whenever I got the car I went to get a tune up and it already had all fluids and plugs changed,
and the dude I got it from said it came from a GTP that had 100k on it, when I ran the seafoam it didnt give me much smoke.. so i'd lol.

You have done more maintenance on that ride than most people.

I took my car from Texas to Virginia, drove around Virgina for 3 months then back to Texas with less "Maintenance" than what you listed. You should be more than good to go, but if you want to upgrade to GTP, go for it.

Biggest thing you need in AZ is to ensure the fins on the condensor are all straight. Typically here in NE, our condensors near the bottom look horrible from all the salt/rocks etc from the winters. Get those straight and you'll enjoy AZ with the car.
