Thinking about buying a '97 GT, but....

[jasond]

It seems to have some problems, the display above the vents dosen't work, the abs light is on, the clock on the radio dosen't work and the HUD only works some of the time. Are these common issues? The seller is asking over bluebook, which I'm not willing to pay. I'm thinking I may have to pass on this one, even though the mileage is low.

tell them 2k under bluebook.... they are nuts to be asking book for a POS.

The car books for around $3200 retail. It has 91,xxx miles. It seemed to run and drive ok, but I don't want to be tracking down a bunch of electrical gremlins either. I'm just looking to trade up out of my '94 gp that has 200,xxx miles.

91K on a '97...good god that is low mileage...for a 12 year old car :O Sounds good there...'97's have the vacuum powered transmission and is very weak so if you planned on doing anything to it or drive it hard...opt for a '97 GTP or newer GT/GTP as the tranny's are no longer vacuum operated.

I don't really plan on driving it hard, just looking for a reliable daily driver to replace my '94 gp. I had good luck with the '94, it's got over 200,000 on it.
