    that sounds like a good deal.

    just if the trans has been flushed....

    is it stock or modded?

    x3 it sounds right I bought my 1998 GTP sedan for a bit more (I like sedans over coupes don't ask). Every car is worth looking at, go check her out and if the price and car fit what you want/are looking for the only question to ask is when you are going to the bank.

    Haha yeah I just prefer the sedan over the coupe for GP's because people always want to sit in the back with the leather and I am not willing to get out to let them in lol

    sounds like a good price, check the front and rear strut towers for rust (pull the trunk carpet), my rear ones are about rusted through, and check under the body for any rust
    good luck.
    99 Grand Prix old build- CAI, Custom exhaust, HV3, Stage 2 TB, custom tune, ported heads intense s1x cam, headers.
    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.

    Got my 99 GTP last year for $6500 from a 89 year old lady (no joke!!! ). Had only 31000 miles! After I test drove it, I went home and did a carfax on it. Went back the next day to pick it up....there was no way I could pass it up!

    By far it has been the most fun car I have owned!
