In my unbiased opinion....BUY IT!!!! :yesnod:

Do you know what number it is? You can get some pretty good information about many of the GS's from Hutch at http://www.hashmarks.com

Good Luck!!

Its a great car that seems to be holding its value really good...only 1000 made. The red gut ones are a little more rare also.

What's he want for it? They run around 30-34,000 for the mileage it has. Sometimes lower if it's a good deal. But you should buy it!! :crazy:

If you know the guy and the car is super clean and has not had any paint work, I would expect to pay around 32K for a car like that, this would be a very fair price. I have seen a couple that are cheaper with the same miles but when they are that cheap sometimes you have to wonder about if its been in some kind of accident. The GS's are holding their value really well, you cant go wrong in buying it. Good Luck

When I bought mine last year, Grand Sports w/ around 20K miles were going for around $30K or a little more. These were black interior cars and while I never got a chance to see them (100s or 1000s of miles away and I couldn't commit to buy at the time), the sellers claimed the cars were in excellent condition.

If the price is in this range, go for it! :yesnod: The fact that you know the car's owner and history is a big plus. You won't regret it. I know I haven't!! :D

28K for 20,000 miles is not a bad deal at all.

Less than $28K with only 20,000 miles? Simple decision. Write the check. :D
