Iv been looking at them and i am on a budget of around $2,200. around what millage should I stay away from and what parts are expected to be replaced first. as many suggestions i can get would really help. thanks
 


I bought my first gtp with 160k for 1400. Neededma few things but never had any real issues with it. If you search there is a list of known things to look for when buying one
 


iv never had one, also im starting to learn how to work at cars since it will be very usefull. i live in apartments so iv never had a garage to work on a car lol
 


rust is the biggest issue to look out for. Check in the trunk at the strut towers and the rocker panels on the sides of the cars.
 
Keep in mind you'll need to run premium gas on a GTP, which is not true with the GT...extra costs some don't think about. Not a huge deal, but if you're REALLY on a tight budget, that's something to keep in mind.

With these cars, maintenance is the key. A properly maintained 3800 series engine will run darn near forever. Just make sure the body will last as long as the engine by checking for rust where dsmuts mentioned.
 
I usually like people checking cars out with me lol. I just need to find a seller that will negotiate on price. What sucks is I'm in Mi so cars rust fast here
