Default Looking At Buying a Car, Need To Know Wat U Think About The Deal

As u all know ive been trying to sell my 94 Z28, well this whole week ive been trying to work a deal on a 04 GTO 6 Speed with 100k miles & is in pretty good shape minus the clutch issues which is less than $300 to fix but anyways he wants my camaro & $5500 which i dont think is too bad, wat do u guys think should i go for it?

Probably a pretty good deal. I Think that Gto would need some mods for sure tho. You would have to do it up like Joe's GTO HSV.

Not a terrible deal if you have the money to swing.

It does sound like a good deal, normally decent '04's go for low to mid-teens...with 100K miles that could explain the better pricing.

Just want to make sure that you did run or seee a car fax that prooves it has not been in an accident.

Were you able to take it for a test drive even with the clutch issues?

Also what's up with the center console? Why is it all apart or is that supposed to be put back together if you buy the car?

One other important thing... on the drivers side engine cover in the back of the engine cover is a fuel line that rubs the engine cover just make sure that rubber fuel line doesn't have a cut or slit in it....apparently when they designed the engine cover it cuts into that hose...not a big deal to run without the engine cover or tape up the fuel line or even replace it but if it is cut into what could happen is the rubber line gets cut and fuel line comes out over the engine bay setting the car on fire.

Keep us updated on if you go for it, good luck!
Joe

Yeah i ran a carfax on it & no havnt driven it but the dealer is a close friend & if anything is wrong with it he would fix it weve bought 7 vehicles from him & hes always treated us right on them & the console is off cuz the changed the clutch in it (but not the slave which is bad) & they removed the shifter before they pulled it & well i nvr run covers so that shouldnt be an issue, & were prob gonna go for it
