so this is what im looking at.

Cars.com: 2006 Pontiac GTO

ive seen it and even took a ride in it.
i do like it and at the time the odom said 39131.

now 22558 is what there asking but i was wondering what i should really be really paying for this?
what should i look for in terms of problems visually?

do any of you guys think that 39000 miles on a gto is too much? should i look for another one? i really like this one and its also close by to me.

its also a 2006 model. im going to get a insurance quote in a few days and once i get all that info down ill head back to the dealer to get a better price.
i think i should be paying around 20 grand or 19 500.

do you think i should grab extended warranty?
whats the 0-60 times on these because i have no ideal?

im gonna do some searching through the forums within the next couple of days to really get acclimated.
but i appreciate any help you guys can give me.
thanks allot

The price is a little high but now much. The KBB is $22,200.00 for retail but most 2006 with that mileage where I live are selling for $21K or so. It is no longer under factory warranty that expired at 36K miles so you might want to consider getting a extended warranty. You can nego the price on that as dealers rape people on those. You do not know how it has been driven and that will give you peace of mind. High performance cars just cost more to operate and work on. I looked at the add you posted and it looks very nice. More then likely it is mostly highway mileage to put that many miles on a car in such a short time. 0-60 times. Motortrend said 4.7 on their test but most normal drivers can pull 5 seconds flat. Guys on this website pull sub 5s all the time stock. As far as visual problems looks for tire rub on the inside of the front tires and as in the past there was a problem but seems to have been fixed. The car is very solid. Good luck!!
