Thats just too good of a price at a dealership. Something shady about that car

My buddy was looking at it and they lowered the price it was like $13,000 last week.

Wow, 12k. If I had the money I'd buy it, I'm only an hour and a half away.

To the op, yeah thats my car. Jason is right, I would take it to the dealer if I heard any noise or smell to have the part replaced. I have a ton of receipts from the dealer that are scattered all over my garage. She's not mine any more so I can gave a pretty unbiased opinion here: She is totally clean, only thing not stock is the custom exhaust (quad tip) cat back to make a meaner sound (not ricey at all)

The blue coupler you see because I replaced the stock air filter with a cone and the stock blow valve will hoot like an owl when it warms up. The blow off valve was replaced with a brand new metal evo 9 bov. Any way, the stock intake gasket breaks on these cars once you take it off, so I got a shiny one and had to use a coupler.

The stock rims were replaced with high quality same model replicas and bfg were thrown on. Stock stereo was replaced with all infinity stock components. Lots of wear parts replaced, clutch was done. Goal with car was to keep it stock. I never raced it, but did have fun on highways (married with kids 33 and was the second owner for 2 years, this was my 3rd gt.)

here is a vid of her accelerating on the highway (under 55 of course)

Any more info let me know. Good luck, btw, I traded her for a viper.

17K? Thats overpriced for the average miles on the engine. Kelly Blue Book is much less.

Most rare cars do not follow blue book value at all, not even close.

Dealers know this too, that's why you will see a 93 VR-4 with 100k miles on it sitting in the lot with a $13k price tag.

Toyota Supras are perhaps the only cars that do not follow the Kelly Blue Book at all I remember 3-4 years ago when you could buy turbo Supras for under 10K and non-turbos for around 5K.

Still can't beat the 1998 VR4 with only 83K for $12,000.
