2004 A4 Barbados Blue around 34K with 17" tires...
Tires appear to be newer and are the same that came OEM.
Arrow Head on trunk missing.
A few stone chips on front bumper and hood.
It appears the previous owner may have used rubbing compound on the front to either hide blemishes, scratches or repair. Residue on the lower valance and upper grilles.
Overall the car looks OK. Did not drive it.
Dealer: Wissler Motors in Mt. Joy PA.....asking.... 19.5K

I went to look at both and did not take mine.. Dealer with Barbados was calling the car Araba Blue.
..I went just to look not looking for a confrontation.. Sales guy comes out and starts his routine of how amazing this car is and if I ever driven one. I said I am thinking about it. I asked...What ya want for it? He says make me an offer...I said....16K He laughed and said WHAT!?? It's a GTO!! Do you know what these things run? I said I have an idea and this car will sit for 20K you can pick up an 05 for 20K. He paused. Again he asked..make me an offer I said 16.2. He laughed again..I said ok slick.... what do you want.. he said we are asking 19.5.
I said....Whats so special about it? He began misinforming me about this car. I said well I am leaning on an 05. He said Oh you know about these? I said yea I have one...and the price you ask for this is high. He then came off of his high horse as I proceeded to inform HIM about the car. He then said... we are just asking 19.5. His demeanor completely changed from the typical I know all about this car and will educate you on it....to.... I didn't know this, that, and the other thing. I asked where did you come up with that color? He said the previous owner said it was Araba Blue... I thought, yea right. I said you may want to change the color on the window sticker. Someone will end up coming in and buying it......
My wife was with me and considered for a few minutes, the possibility of her buying the car.. When this guy went off on his sales pitch and I began telling him about the car as he was trying to feed me a line of $hit...the wife got in the truck. She later told me... they can shove that... He had no idea what he was talking about and tried to lie you into a sale.
I had no intentions of telling this guy I had one. He wanted to take me to school.
The other 2 GTO's....again same deal... Kid comes out informing me about these cars. Asked.....did I ever drive one.I said I drove an 05. He says they are sleepers but they move! I said yea they got some serious $hit to them.
I asked...are they local? He pointed to the one without a license plate bracket on it and said that one is, this one I am not sure about. I said, this one could be out of state. He says how do you know? I said the bracket are not usually installed on these in PA being we don't have to have a front plate. He says oh noooo, we put that bracket on. I said no you didn't. He begins arguing with me.... OUR DETAIL SHOP installed that we have our plates on every car on the lot... I said how come it ain't on the other GTO? He was stumped. I said you didn't put the bracket on.. there is dried wax on the plastic. HE AGAIN tells me I am wrong. I said where did you get the bracket? He says we went and got it. I said, take a good look at it..there is only one place you can get these.. they are custom to the valance and bumper. Only Pontiac has them. He said ohhhhhhhhhhh. Well thats because they don't have to attach it to the bumper...I said I will bet you the car you take the bracketoff and there are 3 holes in the bumper. He didn't wanna bet... I said look at the other one... those holes are filled. He said do you know about these cars?
I said.. kinda.... I have one. He then proceeded to ask me about the cars...when a few minutes before hand he was educating me on the way they handle, drive and perform. I politely said I have to go..good luck selling them.
Gotta love the way you go in minding your own business and sales guys come at you. The more they talk.... the tighter the noose around their neck gets.
And there are people out there that buy what they are told.....
