Good price for a Salvage GT??
 
I know someone who is selling a 2000 gt with 100,000 miles on it for 3600. it has a salvage title but runs real good stilll.I think its an ok deal ,what do you all think?

3600 bucks and plan on a new motor if he's beat on it. 100k isn't even a lot of miles for these cars but they do manage to stack up the wear and tear if they're abused. The price is generally bitchin for a running GT. Salvage title worth is up to you.

he said that the motor was not even touched when it was wrecked before.i went to drive it earlier and i dont know how it supposed to feel because ive never driven one before,ive only had v6s lol. im thinking hard about it because im ready to has some kind of power in a car

Wheres it located at? If its close i could drive it for ya :p;)

dkingfrank214 10-25-2009 02:53 PM

Its about 10 minutes away from downtown austin,would you really try the car out for me or are you just saying that so you could get it,lol?

Deathdiesel 10-25-2009 02:56 PM

If it was closer i actually would. But 2 hours to drive a car nty :P Just make sure before you buy it you run the engine, pop the hood listen for anything that sounds off, make sure it idles and revs smooth. Check all the bumpers to make sure none are loose, and check for leaks on the undercarriage.

I don't know about there, but here you can take the car to get tested and it will tell you how much life it has left and whatever else. I don't know what it's called or anything, but they wanted me to do that when I was getting my Mustang, because I got it for a good deal. My car is perfectly fine, if not better.

dkingfrank214 10-25-2009 07:27 PM

i went to drive it again on the freeway,mann it was a beast!! i got it up to about 120 and it ran perfectly. hopefully everything goes right tomorrow and i can get it. oh and no leaks,sounds good,no lights are on.hopefully it wasnt rigged for the test drive.

Yea you can get a scanner/reader to check for anything in case they just put MIL eliminators in.

man the guy sold the car already. sucks. i found another salvage gt right by where i stay.the guy wants 3600 for it and it has 100,000 miles too like the other one,this one has the hood a little cracked but not really anything,the inside is kinda dirty but not a problem and the front bumper doesnt look on right for some reason. i tried it already and it felt strong but after i hauled ass in it on the freeway i noticed a little smell of gas,do you think this is just from maybe sitting around for a long time or do you think this could be a serious problem?

Might have a cylinder leak, or cracked gasket, my moms 91 sunfire had the same thing. To fix the gasket is usually like 600$ ffs..

dkingfrank214 10-27-2009 05:07 PM

man i dont know if i should take the chance at getting this car. ive always wanted a gt but i would be selling my v6 which is my only car and if this gt breaks down i dont have the cash to fix it. im just having trouble because i think its a good deal if the car wont mess up on me.

Deathdiesel 10-27-2009 06:00 PM

How many miles does your sixxer have on it? and how badly do you want a GT?

dkingfrank214 10-27-2009 08:19 PM

my v6 has 137,000 miles on it already.i want the gt bad but i guess im just having a hard time letting my car go since me and my grandpa rebuilt most of the car together.

Deathdiesel 10-27-2009 08:49 PM

Ooh, tough decision bro. If your old mans still runnin id tell him congrats on starting a new project lol.

dkingfrank214 10-27-2009 09:39 PM

lol,yea i guess if the gt breaks down me and him can work on fixing it. i guess i will sleep on it and figure out something tomorrow
