Default Cheap GTP

I found a 1998 GTP for only $8,500 or Best offer.. Looked nice from the pix, and would probably be a sweet car, L67 engine and all....

I have a line on a 1997 Buick Regal GS wit 120,000 miles on it for $4000. Hows that for a cheap Series II L67? The car is absolutely mint and was well cared for by it'* second owner who has had it since 30,000. The second owner is a 33 yo lady who has 2 young kids so it has been well cared for. I drove it and it ran impeccably and the performance was very clean (smoother than my Bonneville, but then again my car didn't come with 200 hp stock -I had to get it there myself).
IF you want the line on this car I will give it to you as right now I can't afford anything other than gas to get to and from work.

Thats not that great of a deal. I know where you can get a '97 Grand Prix GTX w/5,000 miles on the engine and tranny that runs high 12'* for $9,000! That is a good deal. That regal is also.

That Regal sounds like a much better deal. Plus it has a little more class than a gran prix IMO. 4k is steal!

Exhaust, wheels, racing stripes, spoiler, and a few other things I can't think of now. They are pretty bad *** though.

Here is the one for sale:

The tranny has 2,000 miles on it, the engine has 7,000 miles on it.

Stock vs. Stock the GTX is like 2 or 3 tenths quicker because it picks up supposedly 20 HP from the exhaust and intake.

But this GTX for sale is FAR from stock...
