Just bought my new car!! - 09/15/06 09:19 PM
Hey guys, I posted a few weeks ago asking for advice with buying a car. I wasn't able to get the particular vehicle I was posting about, as someone left a deposit before I had a chance to pick it up.
The vehicle I ended up with is a 99 GTP. I paid $8500 for it, and it has 64k miles. I probably paid a little too much, but the car was immaculate, had everything I wanted, and I am in DIRE need of a vehicle as I dont like using my twin turbo Stealth as a daily driver, especially as I work in a bad area.
Iv never owned a supercharged vehicle before. The owner told me that it has a slightly larger pully on it, and is running around 8 psi. He also included an uninstalled, brand new, aftermarket tranny cooler. I don't plan on modding this vehicle, but if its something that may increase the longevity of the tranny, then I may install it. If not, how much would it go for on ebay? Is there any type of maintainance that needs to be done at 60k?
Also the only problem I can find with the vehicle is that the heated seats don't seem to be working, that or I dont know how to use them. I assume that all I have to do is flip the switch and it should get hot right? Any ideas what I should check for the heated seats?
Im sure you guys will be hearing from me regularly on the boards, so im sure it will be a pleasure being part of the community.
