patgizz Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 thinking about going to check out a 97 gtp coupe. assuming cleveland car, i am expecting to see typical rust behind rear wheels but otherwise decently solid w body. if it's clean = bonus. here is what i know. 212k blower replaced recently, 3.4 pulley carbon fiber hood "custom taillights and headlights" probably means ricer clear tails and who knows what headlights. new stainless exhaust comes with - not on car moonroof "adjustable race struts" whatever the hell that means to the seller - could be totally different than what it means to me - doesnt know brand. bad steering rack i have no idea what i should be looking to pay. most likely it would be a lowball offer to try and get it cheap to fix up and resell to make a couple hundred bucks over a month or two. any help appreciated. i know how cheap you guys are so it's better to ask here than have the blue book tell me it's worth 2300 in fair condition.

base93lumina Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 If it helps any, i bought my 00 GTP with 200k miles on it, well taken care of, everything working, and i paid $2k for mine. Definitely check the car for rot, that right there will be a deal killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 If it's from up that way, it'll probably be bad rust wise. I don't think I'd pay more than a grand for that car. Probably offer him $700. If the dude is true, the struts are probably KYB AGX's. They're adjustable and what a lot of lowered cars go with.

tornado_735 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Any 2nd gen I've ever seen in the rust belt has no rocker panels left. If they're soft, run like the dickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
