Found a 99 GTP and have a question

I have been searching for another GTP with no success. People want to much for them or they have 200k on them. I found a 99 coupe that is local and super clean, but it has. 140k and they want 4k for it. That is below nada and kbb. It is an older couple so Im assuming it isn't ragged out. I just want a GTP to DD so I can park the TA.
 


Is $4000 to much? Several years ago I bought a 98 GTP with 58k for 5500 but I can't find any deals like that anymore.
 
I'd say take cash and offer $3,400 for it. You'd be surprised how much people are willing to negotiate when you have cash in hand.

If this one is truly clean and not ragged on then I would go for it. Sure, you may find one w/ less miles on it but who's to say that that smaller amount of mileage wasn't 60K miles worth of flogging and lack of maintenance? As long as it has been maintained all it's life then I wouldn't quetion buying a higher mileage car. Just be smart about it and check it over real good, drive it, etc... Check for the normal wear items in these cars (suspension, transmission, etc.). Maybe pull a carfax on it as well.
 
I payed $4500 for my 99 GTP sedan with 67k miles. Was flawless minus the SC needed a coupler. Got it at the dealership I work at, they were going to ask 6-7 for it lol

If its in good shape with low miles and runs strong snag it... but yes take cash, $$$ talks

^^^ Is completely right... give a thorough checking, take to a shop and have them check it if all else fails. I got to 83k and my motor popped, Cyl# 2 bearing choked, bye-bye motor, got another one and just over 90k as of now, going good and holding strong.
 


Like i said I have looked all over the place for a GTP with lower mileage and unless I want to pay 8k + I can't find one. I found one with 87k and it ended up having a rebuilt title. I was going to offer 3500 on this one since it appears to be extremely clean. I work at NTB so I'll be able to get it in a shop an check everything out.
 


That doesn't sound like a bad deal.I am literally buying a 97 gtp tommarow for 3000 even and its got 105k on it.I could see 1000 more for a 2 year newer coupe.
 
I'm passing on it. The ps was whining at idle, tires were shot and the trans fluid looked terrible. Plus it felt like it has a bad rack and pinion also. I may end up buying a co- workers 2000 accord 4 banger for cheap. I'm still going to look for a nice GTP.
