I agree with ya there, too. And FWIW - there are two '04s (1 YJ, 1 PBM) at the Dorschel dealers here in Rochester too.
How much for yours Dr?
Honestly I if I bought an 04 I wouldnt want to go over 15k
JayS you selling yours??
eh, I’d want more than 15 for it. There are deals out there though if ya look :tup: good luck with the search. They’re fun cars and great cruisers
Fuck no, I love my car. It’s had a few minor issues but for me it’s a perfect blend of performance and practicality. It just hit 15k miles so I should have it for a while.
That’s always the fun - getting bit in the butt with resale value…
…of course, I have no clue what mine’d be worth…
tell me about it lol I’m willing to eat it a little, but not that much
I really do have a feeling though that these cars will continue to depreciate for a while, then start to rise back again ala the impalla SS.
They imported like 18K a year or something wasn’t it?
Total production over the three years was around 40K - and many have been lost already.
damn, looking around ls1gto they only made 1700 LS1 GTO’s in black with the 6 speed.
edit: and Julius, if yours has a black interior… they only make just shy of 900 of yours
Mine is for sale…It’s on lease trader. 11 months to go. Unfortunately 11 more 570 payments and then the buyout of $16,171.00.
2005 - 19K Black 6speed, B&M ripper - sits in the garage all the time. I don’t drive it.
hey butch, if you’re looking to sell yours, want to swap that B&M for a stock unit? 
Nope, too much trouble.
check out what 15k will buy you as far as 04’s-
Yah, it was a pain. If I were a midget with small hands it would have been a piece of cake. lol
if you can do something to make the total around 20k after payments and buyout I might be interested
I believe it, like I said, there are good deals out there for sure :tup: I’ve also seen them go for over 20. Shit, if I were in the market I’d probably jump on that. LOVE the red interiors on these cars, but not too fond of the combo choice (silver + red) but for the price, you can’t beat it.
Yah, it was a pain. If I were a midget with small hands it would have been a piece of cake. lol
lol I keep wanting to get a new shifter, but don’t feel like tearing the console up to get at it 
hmmmm, tattoo hasn’t had a gig in a few years
Let’s see.
570 * 11 = 6270
Approx 600 lease xfer fee
600+ 6270 + 16171 = 23041
My bank account = 0
23041 - 0 = 23041
Nope, no can do but I wish I could…
I hear ya, if I didnt have to pay NY 8.75% for the privelage of owning the car I could go a little higher
Have you read what’s involved with installing one? Taking the console apart is the easy part. You have to lower the transmission a couple inches too.
Jesus… sounds fun lol yet another reason why modding these things suck at times
sorry for hijacking your thread too man. Free bumps?
