Hello all! Advice needed!

Hey everyone! I'm new here, and may become a permanent member. I'm looking to buy a good used car that we're going to put a lot of miles on commuting.

My wife and I found a 2001 GTP Sedan with 156,000 miles on it for $3800. My questions to all you folks who are a lot more familiar with these cars than I am... Is there anything I need to look for on this car that could signal problems?

I've only looked at the exterior so far, but the thing that stood out to me was that this car has 3 different kinds of tires. Makes me think it had some kind of front end problem that was wearing tires out. Is there any problems that plague these models?

Lastly, since it's supercharged, are there any special maintenance that needs done on these models, and is there a normal lifespan of the supercharger? I've had turbo cars before, but no supercharged ones. Thanks in advance!!

first your overpaying dude....thats wwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much for a gtp with that many miiles. two, if its got four different tires i would believe the original owner was junkyarding tires not a front end problem. this means he was cheap and probably neglected the car. run my friend run. go look for one with less miles
 
Thanks! And yea, after looking at the car in pereson, I saw a very badly repaired front right fender. Not sure how bad it was originally, but as bad as the paint was, I'm sure whoever owned the car didn't care much about it.
