I apologize if this is against the rules...I'm just drooling over the idea of buying one of these as a daily driver...

I won't but dam thats one hell of a price! (add in GM credit card bonus discounts and its like a free car!)

 

ha..thts like less than 20k Euros. Price of a Golf with some extras in Europe.

 

I remember when these were going for like $5k over sticker.
Holy depreciation Batman !

 

Yeah the LS2 GTO's are doing alright in the price department but the LS1 cars have dropped like a rock.

 

Thats not that good of a deal. Ive seen '05s for under $20k with some mods and under 20k miles. I dont think there is anything different between the '06s and '05s either.

 

didn't pontiac charge an extra $600 to make it a stick?

 

Yea. Originally the 2005 GTO came with only two options. Manual Transmission and 18 inch wheels. Which were about $500 each or so. It is a good looking car though, and if I could import one to Canada I would. I have never seen one on the road in real life.

 

You are not missing much

I actually really like the design, and have loved them since they were Holdens and not available here, and I would love to take one for a test drive but they are very sutble. They are very easy to pass on the road without a second glance.

 

I owned one 2 summers ago. They are a nice bang for the buck. The only dislike was the shifter. It was a Tremec t-56 trans(same as Viper and the Vette), but it was very sloppy shifting. I guess they used a different shifter that had a rubber mount and it was not as precise. There were actually people who went into reverse as they tried to get 5th. For around $500 you can get an aftermarket shifter. They only other issue is that you need to remind yourself that underneath this car is a Vette. On wet roads or in snow, you will spin the wheels.

 

I don't see much of a valid comparison between a used and modded '05 and this brand new '06. It's a pretty good deal, whether you want to admit it or not.

 

That car doesn't look much different than the POS Grand Am my grandpa drove around it for a long time (like early 90's I think). They should have at least tried to go retro to make it look like the old GTO because this IMO is a cheap boring looking economy car. To each their own I guess.

 

I seriously thought of buying one last year and having Lingenfelter supercharge it to use as a daily driver.

560 hp/ 460 torque, highway mileage unaffected and a 3/36 warranty

I thought the car was comfortable (great seats) roomy, fits four and I like the fact it's styling is understated so I don't have every Cook County Sheriff on me. I think you could get one for 22 - so 32K out the door with the super charger.

I don't think theres a better performance bargain out there with a warranty

 

It's a Pontiac...hello....

 

Probably a scam.

Look at their previous items sold - cells phones and Christmas lights. Why would a legit dealer do that?
