I'm buying a '99 gran prix se from a guy this weekend. Former company car. has 106k on it but im only paying 3.5k for it. Do you guys think that this a good deal? The car is spotless and passed my mechanics inspection. Thanks for any advice.

Well according to its book value that is good buy. Its right around were it should be for a private seller. I say go for it. Good luck.

Yeah, the blue book drop is good. But the 106k miles has me worried. I don't want to pickup the car on its last legs. It test drove wonderfully.

a 106K really isn't what it use to be. Plenty of cars make it to 200K or more now without needing major repair. If it drives fine and checked out ok. I would go for it but thats me.

yeah, I wouldn't be to worried about the miles unless they were really hard miles. My 94 GTP has almost 140,000 and it still runs like a champ

Ture. Thanks guys. I'm heading to AAA monday to get it transfered to me. If it breaks, I'll just have a new shade tree project.
