My car sold last night, so the time has come to shop for a GTS. Mileage does not scare me, but I want a well maintained, non abused car. Looking to stay in the low 30's if possible, and something other than red.
Let the fun begin :thumbs:

Congrats on the sale. Shouldn't be hard to pick up a GTS for cheap right now. There are lots going for less than $35k right now.
Here's a 97 with 29k miles for $30k, but unfortunately for you its red. :lol:

SVTDubs' latest GTS (Silver/Blue) is for sale for the same price as well over at the VCA but has what I would consider pretty high mileage.

Another red car, but it might be worth checking how low he will go on price for this 97.

Search was quick, a new 01 Sapphire/Silver GTS with HRE's now sitting in my garage. Once I get some time, I will get some nice pics and post.

Miles? I am assuming you had to come up on your price some or sacrificed on the miles/condition??? That is a sweet color combo.

Damn. That was quick. Nice color combo. I assumed you were in the market for a stock forged car, though. Beautiful color combo, can't wait for pics.

Rogue,
Its a local IL car, not crazy loud, but loud. Just has exhaust, T&D's, no cats. The power difference from my old car to this car is big, but I am enjoying having real windows, A/C, and a stereo that actually sounds decent:D. If I decide the power needs to go up, all I need to do is swap pistons, rods, main caps, and get in touch with Paolo!

What is Paolo up to these days? Did that little bald guy who used to drive the ROE ever get his DIY CPE system doing anything great?

Paolo used to call me from time to time. Last I heard, Jody Gleason sold his creampuff TT and was supposed to be looking into an '08. I don't know if he ever got one and I certainly don't know if Paolo would be doing any work on it if he did. The British guy did eventually finish the CPE DIY and has been driving it. No real report on how it's holding up, but considering the amount of extra fabrication he ended up having to do, it should be holding up fine.

He hasn't run it past 9psi or so yet, just starting to do the tuning.
Marty... I was curious if you picked up Mike D'Amico's car.
