Boy ricers sure dream big.
If he knew anything about cars he would want an 05 anyways.
Reliability is what really killed that car. Even stock you had to worry about them with many miles on them. They are fast fun cars but the upkeep on **** that breaks and goes wrong with them kills it for them.
Stock form they will run forever if maintained. That's the key word. Most people who onwed them beat the crap out of them and didn't take care of them so they got a bad rap. I have seen some super high mileage 4g63's that still run like the day they drove off the dealer lot.
Modded its a completely different ballgame. But thats with any car. If I didn't decide to mod and race my Stealth I would probably still have the original trans in it and still be driving it.
$3g's is kinda spendy IMO. I'd give him $1500 max!
This is my favorite part of his post. What a salesman
"basically want to trade for something that has real power, and the GTO looks nice, and has a v8, dont want a little half a motor anymore, keep getting flamed by dbags and sh**"
I saw that this morning and laughed! That car is worth $2k max, and the cheapest I've seen a GTO is $12.5k.
So all of the guys who want 20+ for their C5's are out of their minds?
