Well here is my debate PS. My GTP has had a good life n plenty left in it with a few improvements and i ma thinking about getting rid of her. What it needs…front sway bar-15 bucks Possibly a tranny within the next year or so-200 or 400 built up with gears Lil bit of paint work on the front air dam-200 4 Small dents pulled 150 Fog light-free with just some time odd n ends-200 So…i could get away with about 1000 or less and havea nice DDas well as track car here. It has 83,000 on it right now. OR…i could sell it and get something like a truck or newer GTP or bla bla. OR…keep it and put a lil money into it and save up for another ride when i get money for d DP. The cars is worth about 7g’s right now as it sits. I could also either put in my cam and everything in th other motor i have sitting here and with a lil tuning(100 bucks) have a nice 12 second DD and snow monster. I am stuck inbetween a rock n a hard place right now:( ---

Buy a toy later Thought baout that,but i love the GTP’s and now that they stopped making them by the time i would be ready to get another one 97-03 they will all have high miles on them n not worth it… Plus, what is reliable and mods easy n nice at the same time,i cannot drive around a 15 second POS ---

I think one of the bigger questions is: Is the car paid off? If so KEEP IT!, If not you may want to consider other options. ---

If your interested in a 04+ GTP then I would look more into that option. You can find a low mile GTP or CompG for somewhere around 13-15k. All depends on if that car is enough to keep you happy. ---
