Just Purchased and 04 GTO

After seeing the car on a test track after a few laps I would never buy the GTO. The car was smoking and check engine light came on. Although no one would ever drive the car that hard on the street the other cars that were there had no problems lap after lap. Those other cars were a STI,M3, Boxster and S4.

Just be ready to explain to people on the street that it's NOT a Chevy Cavalier. One of the coworkers has one and people have no clue what it is. It's a little to bland for my taste.
Congrats though.

I love cars!
In Dallas a dealer has advertised $6500 off, so that brings the price down closer to what the car is really worth. I sat in one for the 2nd or 4rd time at the State Fair yesterday, For the first time I was disappoint in the interior quality of the dash controls. A/C controls seemed a bit cheap.

The performance is not to be questioned, though. Except for lack of Navi, this one was on my short list to replace my '00 TL, since I used to drive a '97 Z28.

My TL-S just got totaled last week in a freak occurrence and I'm looking for a new car, and the '04 GTO in black with red interior is on the top of my list. Is there anyway you could fill me in (PM of course) on where exactly you bought the car or how much you paid maybe, because I really don't want to get ripped off in this situation if they are basically giving them away. The dealer told me around $395 for 48 months and I basically laughed in his face, so there has to be other dealers in the NY/NJ area looking to give away these cars. Thanks!

I mean christ..
Even with the 6k break on Factory Cash...the Best Lease out there is going to be in the mid to low $300.00 area depending on your Credit Score. That is with 2k down for 3 years. How do I know this??? One of my best friends is an F&I Manager @ the local PONTIAC Dealer.

I wanted to come up with something more appropriate but the word DICK is really what best describes you. Sorry. Fact remains someone posted their opinion AND experience and you made your lame remark. I worked for a dealership a while back and I know for a fact that the F&I manager is nothing more then a corrupt money collector. After they feel someone out, they will add a couple points onto the score, since the buyer never actually sees that on paper. Then they collect the extra money made from the extra points without the buyer ever knowing. In other words, your friend is a crook and you're a dumbass for listening to him.
