2005 GT GRP LTD MAN 131000 mi should i buy?

Is that too much mileage? $12400? They only built 57 of these cars wanted one forever.

oh yeah wagon

it's not too much mileage but it does depend on the service history of the car. If you love these cars and many of us do then you almost forgive them anything even when the engine blows up... most of the the people here almost immediately seek a replacement engine and add more performance parts to it as they go. These are great cars and so what is too much? Only you can decide that... perhaps share with us some more details about the car, where is it, who is selling it, pictures? The mileage isn't the only factor in this purchase.

Don't know much yet. It is in Torrington CT. Going down to test drive it in an hour will get pics. Anything to watch out for with the turbo? Hope it has records.

How was it? I'm buying an 08 LGT a town over from Torrington on Thursday haha.

Not bad. It has a new turbo in it. Also has an oil leak needs breaks and the clutch is almost gone. Can't tell from the pics but the front end has been bottomed out a lot its all beat up under there. The trunk latch is stuck which I expected. Quite a few scratches and dings leather is cracking on the driver's seat. The dealer hasn't inspected it yet they got it yesterday. Gonna go drive it again after they clean it up but the one impression I got (I have a 2011 legacy sedan now) is that it feels a little loose in the steering and just generally old. Also drove an 06 xt limited auto. That turbo seemed weaker but the car was in better cosmetic shape. Plus I think the black interior on the xt looks sooooo much better than the tan on the red one. Still on the fence I guess.

If the price is right, I doubt you'd have any problem selling it if you changed your mind in a few months. I'd worry more about the cosmetic than the mechanical issues. Easy to replace a clutch, not so easy (for me at least) to repaint. Maybe this could be your prime negotiating point with the dealer: either they fix or discount or you walk.

Bought my 05 5EAT Sedan Last January 1 owner 9/10 interior and 8/10 exterior only exterior problems were front bumper all pitted from New England roads and a few little blemishes here and there. Paid 9k

9k sounds cheap how many miles? I think I will tell them i can't pay more than 9. I wonder how much it costs to fix a bumper that has been bottomed out. They are gonna fix it up so I have to wait to see what they do and see the records. There is another red one in North Carolina with 101k miles for 11.5 may have to drive down there to check it out, i bet they don't rust down there.

There is also a red xt limited in virginia with 101k for 9.8k

And my legacy 2011 has 37700 miles im asking 16500. Im in the berkshires (western MA)

Where in the berkshires? I'm right by great barrington.

It had 126k on it. I haggled the hell outta the dealer (were asking 10500) as I do my research before even stepping onto the lot! Also they did all major service to it as it was over due. Also got them to give me 5500 on my truck that needed about 3k of body work and another 600 in other repairs!

I am in Housatonic (part of Great Barrington)
