Why so many GTOs on the used market?
Thinking real serious about a GTO. Why are there so many on the used car market? Why are there so many left-over '05s? Do people not like them for some reason or are they just more car than most people can handle?

Don't know where you are looking but around here, dealers are adding 5K on to the MSRP since the public anouncement that there will be no 2007 model.

Re: Why so many GTOs on the used market?
I am Jim from the Chicago area and there are many around here. I have also done searches in other parts of the country and there seem to be a lot of used ones around. Makes me wonder how they can justify adding to the MSRP. I suppose it is worth a try! There are over 50 new 05s in this area!

Re: Why so many GTOs on the used market?
A friend of mine bought one.He's "Joe Pontiac".Put a cam,headers and exhaust in it.It sounds really bitchin.
Then he got the itch for more power.Started looking at Turbos & blowers.Turns out the car has a two piece drive shaft.Not exactly the best choice in a Hot Rod. And he found out it would take some serious coin to up grade the fuel system to handle a huffer or pinwheel.To the tune of 2500.00. He confided in me,that he wished he bought the new Mustang Cobra.

Re: Why so many GTOs on the used market?
I'm not sure if anyone really thought of this yet..... if a lot of 05 gto's start hitting the used car lot... NOW, there is a good chance that they were leased?!!! People jumping on the next model year early leasing them and now it's up. Considering most leases are around 3 years. Another thought ( this applying to northern snowy regions) someone bought a GTO thinking man what power, style... etc etc etc... However snow comes along and they can't handle it, So they end up trading in for the over sized suv. Plus gas, and insurance alone can drive you into debt! Just my .
