idodishez Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Wow. Not a lot of GM fans in here:). Not disregarding. Just debating. I actually decided to pass on the GXP. told him I'd pay his eBay fees. I'm not comfy w the GTO. it screams of not being well maintained. Back to the search.

20thGix Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 If you want bang for your buck find a fox body mustang. For what your wanting to spend you can find a clean car with go fast parts and still reliable. The cars and parts are a dime a dozen.

mango_sv Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 There are cars out there that will last well past 200k. My Civic just rolled 228k. My friend just sold his civic with over 300k on it last spring. Little civic thru the gears video. Still running strong. 94 5sp 1.6L V-Techttp://youtu.be/kUIJOkR5Fpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I just asked my buddy that owns a car lot and he said that gto is only worth about 4700 with all that shit wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew95gt Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Those GTO's are sweet, but that one LBTS. I would keep looking for another GTO or pony up for a G8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 You find me a GM car (not truck) that has 200k on it and lasts more than another 20k and I'll be shocked. That's why miles are a big dealI have 220,000 on my grand am its all original except the rear shocks. My dads Buick has 475,000 miles and has the exact same engine as most Pontiacs.

idodishez Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 EVO or WRX.........end of search.Don't know what either of those are. Yeah, I know Hondas can be super reliable. But I just don't like them. Too plain. And underpowered. Going to look at a GTO tomorrow w 70k on it. $7000 but has hail damage. Want to see how bad.

wicked94s10 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I had two Hondas they are overrated. Parts are e expensive and offset the cost of any extra life you may get out of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drew95gt Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) You honestly don't know what a Subaru WRX and or what a Mitsubishi Evo is? And Pontiac sucks, you know they must be a turd if GM kicks them to the curb.The GTO, G8, G6, and Solstice were all great cars...mainly because they were just rebadged Holden's and Opel's. I still wish GM would see fit to bring the Holden UTE over as a rebadged El Camino, that would be bad ass! The Holden Sportwagon is pretty slick too. Either way, Pontiac made the only exciting cars from GM (with the exception of the Corvette) and the Firebird and TA were much better looking than the F-Body Camaro's IMO. Pontiac did have a few lemons though, the Grand Prix and Grand Am were both bleh...plus that Aztek was just HORRIBLE.

You understand that there are other car companies that aren't General Motors, right? And that most of them even import to the United States, having infinitely better quality/longevity than a mid/late 2000's GM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ones with 100k are still going for high teens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownsfan1 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 The GTO if you want to call it that is just a cavalier all grown up. For that money you can get a better car don't do either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
