GTO’s are nice daily’s. The seats are comfortable, the dash is interesting, sound system is good and it has nice power. I really don’t have too many complaints about mine. Gas mileage is about 25mpg/hwy if you have the 6 speed. City can be decent if you can get above 40 and use 6th gear 😉

it is way to high for THAT car. The interior was falling apart, the power seat wasn’t working, the front bumper was not aligned and coming off(accident?), the shifter felt like it was full of goo and the engine started shaking the car in a horrible way after any gas.

oh my bad this whole time i thought you were talking about an 04 s4 and thought you were all on crack for saying thats high lol…

Yea just seen that car out on the corner today as i work next door… meh if it comes with a decent warranty and everything fixed by the dealership its not to bad of a price, but i would never pay that if it was a private seller…
