Looks like it's probably in really nice shape from the pictures. Price is high though. If it is really in excellent condition, I could see it fetching $4500-5K if someone wanted it enough.

That's awesome. Definitly still a collectors car
Oh wow... that's sexy!
I went and looked at this car and it's clean but not 7000 clean and they wont budge on the price at all. The leather is even still soft no headliner sagging and paint is almost perfect. +1 for having a perfect front valence no saggin or cracks. Turbo blanket even still there. It does need the cluster soldered, tires all the way around, and PM3 work, doesn't have orig. key or remote, and does NOT have incredible performance like they state, it runs like crap, It barely wanted to start.And who knows what else is wrong. I figure I'll keep an eye on it and go back after while and offer them less again. I didn't even bother to drive it because the one I am trying to get back on the road runs 10 times better. Also wanted to ask... the PM3 on that car is slanted to one side, were they origionally like that? Something just doesn't seem right there. And no it wasn't on a hill and no I don't have one leg longer than the other.Any Ideas?
It's always easy to think that a low mileage car like that will be in perfect shape, but most of the time that is not the case.. Sounds like it needs a hell of a tune up, among other things..
Thank you for your report on this car.. I was looking at possibly purchasing it.. but if they aren't budging on the price, and if it's going to need as much work as I think it is, there's no way I'm going after this one.
They called me back today finally.. I gave them the details on the impala and asked what kind of a trade deal we could work out... I'm not holding my breath for anything fabulous.. but we'll see.
Must of changed your mind about not going after this one huh? lol No seriously this car is crazy nice on the inside. I was speechless on the leather quality(only other Ive seen is mine and its rough). The work this car needs would totally be worth it, hope they come down on price for you.Anybody have any idea on the PM3 and why it's slanted? Kinda wondering if this car was wrecked or something and not a one-owner like they say
I did, the low miles is what did it. Always wanted a TGP with low miles like this.
I made a visit to the dealership that I used to work for here in Hays, and talked to my former boss about the car. He called them and tried to see if they would wholesale the car to the dealership here, and even for a wholesale deal they wouldn't budge on the price. They will be sitting on it for a while.
I never heard back from these guys either.. they must not have thought I was serious about the trade.
It's nice, but not 7k nice. TGPFAN90 would you be interested in doing a independent assessment of the vehicle for me. I have paypal and have no problem compensating you for your time... Pm me for more details...
If only it was Black on Grey.....

I saw that last night when I was searching autotrader. $90 off, now it's a DEAL! :laugh:
I talked with one of the sales man weeks ago. I asked about how the car ran, drove, stopped, etc. I also asked if i could have an independent inspection. After all that they would not even return my phone calls... Somethings fishy about this one...
Did any of you guys look at the picture of under the Hood? Still curious as to why the pm3 is slanted in there. Mine is not, but I have twice as many miles. The master is slanted to the right if you look straight at it.

It's obviously been removed before and someone didn't do something right when reinstalling it.
I bought a reman PMIII that was assembled in the same fashion. the mounting plate is bolted on backwards.
yeah maybe thats it. It's like its tilted enough you couldn't get it as full as it's suppose to be. Make sure this car gets added to the vin database!
Not listed on Autotrader, or the dealer's website.. maybe they sold it?
Luke, are you still looking to buy?
(just curious)
I am.. but after the 1800+ mile to and from dayton and how well the Impala did, if I go back to a first gen it's gotta at least be as reliable as the Impala has been.. Ideally I'd prefer a low mileage TGP like this red one was.. just not the price they had it at.. haha
Why do you ask?
I just tryed to check it out and the posting has been removed. bummer :icon_sad:
Yeah I can hardly believe it, but they sold that car. At least I got to see a good looking one in my lifetime because mine certainly does not look good.It looked alot better in pictures than it did in person and they talked it up way too much, will let you guys know if I see this thing around.
Adam new lower price..........

Did anyone notice they relisted this car for $5900 and then 2 weeks later or so are back up to $6800
What the hell is wrong with this dealership? Terrible customer service, sketchy price manipulation.. not sure what to think about them.
yeah FTL I wish I had the $$ to buy this one (at a fair price of course) however I'm getting married......life changes!
called on this one today, it is a local buy and is gone...
