I think the GTO is finally growing on me! Especially the SLP rendition. I just figured i'd let yall know, as I was VERY animated about hating the car.

I hated the 4th gen Fbodies when they first came out and over the years have grown to like them. The same goes for the GTO... I really thought they were too family-sedan looking but I went to the dealership and sat in one and just know i'm going to have one some day when I can get a used one for a decent price.

 

my thoughts exactly. didnt like the 4 gens at first either. now i love them. as for the gto, it just looked boring to me, but the rest of the car is sooo nice that I love them now. I see them all day long at work since I work at a pont. dealership. they are for sure great cars all around. Im just curious to see how much that independent rear will take. we'll see I guess.

Our local Pontiac dealer has had 5 (one of each color but black) sitting outside for the past month. That's not good. If they can't move a car like that now, while it's fresh and trendy, they never will.

Of course, they are the same bastiges that marked up their final eidition T/A's a few thousand bucks. Idiots.

RRRR

 

That Dealer sounds like Randy Hustler up here by me. Oh my bad Randy Hosler hustler which ever it is. They think because they have sump'n on the lot like a 25th ta its worth huge $$ over sticker just because I guess theres a a$$ fir every seat and steering wheel
Man they where really hosen back in 94-95, I'd hate to walk in that joint looking at GTO's today
I hate dealers that hold customers hostage like this.
I'm with ya RRRR

Hay POLO which pics did you see of the SLP ram air package?
was it the Maroon goat in the last SEMA news?

 

I seen the GTO's going for $35,000 at Rinke in Warren. If you want to talk about mark-ups try looking at the Ram SRT-10. Van Dyke Dodge has one and they have it marked up $4000 over sticker. And its been sitting there for quite a long time.

 

Randy Hoser was marking up 25th ta's like 5000 over sticker back in the day

 

there's no write up at my work. we got prolly 25-30 GTO's and they all are like $33K (that includes the 1K$ gas guzzler tax)

 

Why do the GTO's have a gas guzzler tax? Does anyone know what the employee purchase price is on the GTO? When I finish law school I might need a more conservative car than the vette, LOL.

 

Gas guzzler on the automatic cars, sticks dont get this charge. but the 6-speed costs more.

and amployee price is like 29500 or so.

 

Yeah, I saw that one and some guy also posted some other after market ram air hoods in the GTO forum. They are not bad, maybe you have seen them? I think I could see myself with one some day for sure. Especially the goat package!

Thanks. I can't believe the price is that high on a GTO, an extra 15k and you could get a vette.

 

I'd rather have the GTO and a $15k beater for the snow days and commuting then a Vette. Not that I don't want a Vette but I'd never pay the price of a new one.

 

I cant rember the dealership that did it, but fox 2 problem solvers ran the story. You talk about mark-ups. They charged an elderly couple 125k for a seville. They should get suid for that sh**

 

john, you cant compare the vette to the GTO. the GTO is way more smooth of a ride, and has 4 real seats that are very comfortable. the vette is not a practical car at all due to it not haveing any storage space, but the GTO will never hang w/the vette on any trac (stock to stock obv.) but the GTO is a good compromise for the guy w/a family that wants to go fast. hmm, isnt that just like the orig. GTO? yup.
