    Default Buying a new GTP in StL

    Hey all, so ive been looking for a good gtp in my area and i finally came acrossed one. its a 127k 2000 two door gtp, dark blue exterior and tan leather interior.
    The interior and exterior are in stupid good condition. Mainly the only thing i could see that was wrong with the car was the traction control didnt work. It drove fine didnt have any type of flukes or rattles or anything hinting at anything really bad. It was getting 21mpg when he got there as i checked. Still has stock everything. Was driven by a college person, i would assume a girl cause i dont think a college guy could hold back modding such a car. But it's seriously in mint condition, it's kind of shocking. The driver seat is barely even wore at all. They want 3500 for it. Im buying it from a guy who works at a used car lot who has been driving the car from quite some time now, and he had it up on craigs for 3700 but he took it down a day or two later and put it for 3500 and thats when i caught it.

    Ill keep you guys updated. Im coming from a 1994 acura integra automatic with 165k miles. :P

    thats good, mine is mainly just a beater, being an automatic. its got a little rust but nothing like car breaking, and i got a sound system in it and tints. im selling it to my friend for 2500, and using that money plus some to buy this one. im really stoked. i hope it doesnt turn out to have problems or anything, at least ones that are expensive. but i actually met him right across the river, in waterloo. it was literally like 30 minutes ago haha.

    thanks for the welcome.

    i mean for integras around here its a decent price especially considering its tinted with subwoofers and alloy wheels, and i got a lot of maint records and the original car brochures and what not.

    i mean definitely 1000 is low, maybe like 2300. but in high school, those kind of additions are usually taken into consideration. but i have done good maintenance on it as i said :P its not about to die. i just dont want an old slow car. i just want a semi old and semi slow

    IMO, i dont see it worth more than 1500.i might go up a litttle if i really needed a car. but not much. and GTPs are the way to go. unless u wanna turbo a GT. and get a built trans. I currently have a gt. that will just turn into my DD/work/grocery getter. and ill get GTP. and mod it.Eventually.

    nah i just want a car that is semi fast stock. im pretty much gonna do light bolt ons like exhaust, intake, etc. id probably only ever go down to 3.6 pulley. i just want to be semi fast and get good gas mileage. but yeah, i seriously love it. i love the interior, its so busy. and i feel like its modern but has a retro feel to it, but thats just me.
