I agree with mad pup.

1: Super low mileage
2: 05, no DBW bs
3: Close to you, ability to inspect, drive the car, and make a face to face offer.

I agree, offer 19 and see if you can get it for just a hair under 20.

For a point of reference, I bought an extremely clean 05 with 18000 miles in December of 2007 for 18.5k.

The engine may actually be in worse shape than 2005 with 30,000 miles. Why? because a car that sits for months at a time without being run is prone to seals dry rotting, mice chewing at electrical wiring and starting an engine that has sat for months is a TON of extra wear over starting a daily driven car. I personally think people put too much weight on low mileage cars instead of how the car was cared for, driven and maintained.

Used 2001 Yellow with 35k miles on it. Owner says there is a ding next to the gas lid, but says other than that is in good shape. He is asking 14k, which according to KBB and NADA appears to be pretty high. I'm gonna go check the car out in person mid-week. By the way, your primary info thread for noobs is very helpful. Thanks in advance

2006 Grand Prix White 30k miles asking for $23,000 - all black interior but mainly looking for red/black interior(first choice)

Interior : 8/10 wore out driver seat
Exterior : 8.5/10 chipped lower front lip, couldn't really tell but car had lots of particles on it maybe cause it wasn't washed. saw some bits of spider webs along the headlights. tires barely have any tread left both from and back. rear brakes were getting low

what do you guys think?

What's the trim? Base, GT, or GXP? I just left the grand prix scene because my 06 was totalled a couple weeks ago. For any of the trims, I'd that's still too high. I bought my 06 GT with 36k on it with GM certified warranty for just under 12k. The average is about 14k. Keep looking, you can do better than that. Also, just so you know, it is incredibly difficult to tune an 06 or 07 grand prix. If you have any other questions about grand prix's feel free to message me.
