I WAS shopping for another gtp today and i noticed no dealers in ohio or michigan have any used gtp's mad mad mad

What is up with this, where are all the used cars. I ended up having to call a friend who is a dealer to look at auctions for me.

Well if anyone has input on what is going on with the uysed car industry feel free to chime in

It's a conspiracy I tell you. When your not in the market for a certain model/trim they are everywhere. But the instant your serious of buying one there are none available. It's a conspiracy I say... a conspiracy.

I was talking to a guy here that came by and bought some computer stuff from me. He's going to be selling his 2000(?) Daytona in a month or so. If you don't mind a little extra drive for a pace car, it looked pretty sweet.!!

I have a friend that has been in the car game all his life. He told me that whenever a car has a major makeover, the previous gen car starts flying off the used lot. It was one of the reasons I moved on mine when I did because Pontiac didnt offer a coupe anymore. I suppose I was lucky that I was able to find two black/grey int cars at the same time (different dealers)...the GTP I looked at was $4k more than my GT, plus I got better financing on the GT...there are times I wish I had popped the extra for the GTP but I have no regrets cuz I'll make the T-Bat unique some day.

It's true what T-bat said -- I've got a few smaller car lots around where I do most of my shopping and I've seen several GTs and a couple GTPs appear then disappear real fast over the past 6-8 months. Went to talk with one of the places that seem to have a quick turnover and they confirmed that yes they are selling the 97-03 GPs pretty easily

When I first got my GTP in sep of 03 there was only one other GTP in town. Lots of GTs but only two GTPs believe me I was lookin for em.
In the last three months there are now at least five GTPs in town.

when i got my 97gtp,there were a very small number of them around,that was in june of 01. it was wrecked in sep of 01, and when i went to find a carbon copy of it,the dealer couldn't even get one at a dealer auction that was within my price range. they were all going for almost retail then,and it took 3 months to get the one im driving now. and now they're all over the place!!I went to a dealer looking for a 2500HD about 6 weeks ago,and a salesman ran out to meet me and asked me if i wanted to sell it right then. he said that he would give me top dollar for it,cause he's got a bunch of people that are wanting them right now
i guess that's good news for us huh crazy devilgrin

If your friend has an account with Manheim, tell him to go on and look around. I found a couple GTPs and quite a few GTs in the auctions around MN and OH.
