Lots of luck getting 49k for it, hard to believe it is an 05 and no one ever drove it or it never got sold.

Things deteriorate over time. I'd rather buy an 05 with 20k miles on it for $50k, which of course is an idiotic premise in the first place.

I don't care how many miles are on it.It's still an 05.I would not 50,000 for it.

Wow thats crazy that a 5+ year old car has never been driven. What also sucks is you can buy a new 09 for that price or cheaper. Makes no sense to buy.

My question is, does this NEW (never titled) 2005 have the 2007 + warranty? or the old 36/36 powertrain warranty?

If i was purchasing I would be concerned about the fluids in it especially the gas, how old is it? and the tires dry rotting or cracking or even flatspotted, now obviously it was kept indoors so the tire aging may not be a issue as if it was kept outside but as the other poster said rubber parts dry out and crack.

i'm guessing that's why it has 53 miles. Just taken out and test driven occasionally. It's never been titled I guess. This must be one, if not the last "new" 2005s.

And yet, in 30 or 40 years, it will be very valuable because of the 53 miles.....funny....

the color might have helped drive that since you can't get that color on a new car now.

Probably out of warranty and GM would not be able to certify it. It's 5 years old!

Warranty doesn't start until the car is sold though. So technically it still has a factory warranty.
