Here is my soon to be car. Already put down 1500 dollars on it today and going to pick it up next saturday. The car was in a minor accident so there is about 300 dollars worth of work to do. I drove the car and it was smooth driving as i hit 70 on some crazy hills around there. I got the dealer to fix the antenna that wasnt working before i bought it. With tax title and tags the total comes to 6800. More then I wanted to spend but its definitely well maintained and exactly what I wanted.

Wow, it actually looks like it's in really good condition! I only say it like that b/c I saw a used car dealership as the page was loading and I'm always skeptical about those places! Great find though, althought with over 100k miles on it, I would've talked him down a bit. All the same: awesome find! What are your plans?

And welcome!

Dude I looked up the kbb value on this thing for dealers and was FLOOOOOOOOOOOORED. They say the best examples can still sell for 10.5k!
I saw all of the maintenance records on the car and was ok with the price. I just said I want to spend under 7000 for tax, title, and tags and they said 6800 and I said deal. I will also totally keep the Jesus fish for when I mod the car (sarcasm)

Nothing is wrong with it lol. I like the look of your car though, looks sweet. The only thing I didn't look at were the disc brakes. Do all of the GT's have 4 disc brakes?

Plus I got a automatic because the Fiance doesnt know how to drive stick and I am not about to let her learn on my car Besides in a few years I'll probably just do an engine and transmission swap.

Yep. All GT's have 4 wheel disc brakes.


Looks like you got a great car at a steal of a price. Congrats

Sounds like you got a pretty good deal. It really depends on the area and how much they are going for in that area. Here in the Denver area, I rarely see 99's going for less than 9k

Well, I actually didnt go through with sale. I really liked the car but there was some damage on the car and the quote on the car was more then I was willing to spend (1200-1400). I will eventually get one but I am going to wait for the right one.
