Selling my 06 GTO Black/Black 6spd

[illin1234]

I'm moving from long island to astoria queens, and am VERY reluctantly selling the GTO i just bought and love very much.

About the car... I'm sure anyone who's on this message board already knows everything about these cars, but just in case.

pictures (pictures further down the page) also selling my 92 5spd z28 convertible



2006 GTO 7200 miles
6.0 liter V8
6spd
very subtle modifications...
X pipe replacing the resonator
front nose clip from australia (holden nose) have original also in perfect shape
factory 18 inch wheels powdercoated gun metal grey
custom lowered suspension (perfect aggresive ride hight without making the car too low or too stiff)
ipod hookup (hardwire) in car works with factory stereo.

looking for 26.5

You think they go up in value after 7200 miles?

asking 29k but will consider offers in that ballpark.

LOL

You can buy brand new for about $1000-2000 LESS

Try $24.5k for your USED '06. That's reality, unfortunately, whether you want to accept that or not. If your answer is "or not", then don't worry about reluctantly selling your car because it won't sell LOL

[illin1234]

...but, you can't buy one "new".

...and at 33k plus taxes for a new one, an offer in the high 20's for mine seems pretty on target.

[BUCKNERBUCK2]

i bought mine with 70 miles on it for 25800 + TTL...so your off a little

Sorry about having to sell however :(

[BUCKNERBUCK2]

No one has paid 33k + taxes for months, probably since july with the 6 year 0% financing...are you offering 0% too??

[Schleprock]

...but, you can't buy one "new".

...and at 33k plus taxes for a new one, an offer in the high 20's for mine seems pretty on target.
what the hell are you talking about?

There are over 3000 "new" GTOs left to buy. And anyone who pays sticker isn't very bright.

There is a $1750 rebate, plus perhaps another $1000 on top of that with March Madness, plus they are at discounted prices from GM already handing out the year end money.

As stated, you're looking at $24.5k tops, PurpleRaven didn't even get a buyer with that on his beautiful Spice Red Metallic last month. He ended up trading it

What are you talking about? You can buy new all day long.

[ohmy]

Yikes, I think the guys so far might be right about the price being a bit high, 29 is actually 1K more than what I paid for mine brand new... But it does depend on your location, I mean if you're the only GTO in town somebody will give you what you're asking...

I'm selling mine also, same car actually, black on black with 6spd... but unfortunately I'm shooting to get only $26K since the new ones around my location are currently going for about $28.5K, but the good thing is there are no more black 6spds left on the dealer lots...

As far as the $24.5K being quoted by someone above, I think that might be a bit low, the dealer offered me $25K for it as a trade. I went in to inquire about a new Vette being advertised in the paper which seemed like a really good deal, way below carsdirect and edmunds guide. Ofcourse when I got there it already had a sold sign on it, I actually met the new owner who was still there doing his paperwork - he complemented me on the GTO, heh heh ehh...

Best of luck with your car!!!

[Schleprock]

also, is that new rubber you have on the car after 7200 miles?

The gunmetal rims do look nice though, I admit.

[illin1234]

yea, stock tires on the car were too narrow.. went with a wider look.

So here's the deal... i'm not a car dealer so don't kill me. I was just stating the obvious.. the last year they made these things is 06 and it's now 07, so technically you can't buy a "new" one.

anyways, if what i'm asking is so far out... somebody make me an offer.

as my man said earlier, you don't see many black/black 6spd's left.. and none that look like this, so make me an offer... I really don't want park this car in queens.

[ohmy]

Hey, u know what, I just looked at the pics and I don't think 29K is out of the ballpark... I love the work you did to it, rims look sweeeeeet, the car looks very sharp... I dunno, if I saw this car prior to getting my car I would have made you an offer, I would take your car over a brand new one, for real...

[puredrive]

I like those wheels

[BLACK05GTO]

As mentioned
The car is worth about $24k

I know that sucks to hear, but that's what it's worth.

I have an 06 GTO with only 5000 miles on it ( 1 of only 292). If I sold it today, I would expect to get about 23-24k for it.


But there's a sucker born everyday. You might get lucky.

And I also know a guy that picked up a Black 6 speed GTO with just over 8k miles for
$23,500.00

[GoatDweller]

Which means they have been sitting on the lot since delivery.
New means never been titled for the most part and usually less than 100miles on the odo. The reality is you think your car is the only one in existence that doesn't depreciate when it rolls off the dealers lot.

Your car looks badass BUT unless the potential buyer wants and likes what you have done you will NOT sell the car, rendering your mods useless......
Not to be mean but it is what it is... Products and features can turn on or off the prospective buyer.
Personally I'd buy it if I didn't already have one.
@7,200 miles if you aggressively tried to sell it you should see a potential of 26g's private party.

Good luck and try craigslist!

If a dealer offered you $25k as trade and you're only shooting for $26k and new ones are going for $28.5k I think you should sign over the title before the dealer comes to his senses.

Don't know how it works in your locale, but where I live you only pay sales tax on the amount of the transaction over the trade in value. So trading in a $25000 car saves me 8.1% in taxes on that amount, or more than $2000, effectively making the car worth $27000 on trade!!

If that's the case where you live, you're losing money (not to mention the time and hassle involved) selling it yourself.

I apologize beforehand, but this type of constant reply is getting under my skin something fierce.

NO ONE, whether it be forum members here, or used car dealers, are selling used '06 GTO's for $25.5k-26k. Yes, they may have them priced there, but nobody is buying them/paying that. With 3000+ new left, the general public is not paying high $27k - mid $28k for brand spanking new vehicles. They definitely aren't paying a higher interest rate on a used vehicle for only$2000 less. These resale values are simply wishful thinking by those posting that here in order to salvage the strong depreciation of this car! The reality is, used '06s won't see any true interest from buyers until they are in the logical realm of $23.5k - $24.5k. I bet if you ask anyone who has tried to sell an '06 here in the past 2 months, they'd tell you that's where most of there offers fell via PM (and before you say they were lowballers, well, if a majority are offering that, then that is only what your vehicle is worth to used buyers).

[ohmy]

Yup, I agree, and I was going to do just that but like I said, the Vette was sold...

I totally agree that trading it for 25K is better than selling it for 26K, but right now the dealer that offered the 25K doesn't have any other car that I want, I think the Vette was a "exec car", fancy tag meaning that the owner of the dealership drove it for a year, it was never titled so the guy who bought it was the 1st owner even though not the first driver...

Oh well, I snooze I lose....

Are you an expert of the car market in all regions of the country?? Right, I didnt think so!!

Listen, here is a true story: Cyclone Grey on the lot with a red and a silver, the Sticker is 33K the ad says 28K, dude offers 27K firm for the car no trade, the delearship lets the guy walk away from the deal <---- this is a %100 true story, I was there when it happened... So please, don't spill your BS as if you know exactly what is going on out there at every dealership in every location of the country, maybe where you live you can get a new GTO for under $27K, and maybe eventually those deals will be around my location also, and maybe they should be lower already with the amount of cars in the inventory like you described, but right now, the new ones go for about $28K around here (maybe $27.8K), period!!!

chill dude... then don't buy it!

last thing i said was make me an offer, not beat this thing to death!

This must be a forum for people who really need to hear themselves talk and feel smart.... k, you are smart.

Check out the other post in this section titled "Dealers are not cracking" or something like that, you'll find alot of ppl that seem to agree with my previous statement that new ones are going for about $28K....

[asaberan]

You guys are unbelievable. I have never seen so many negative people on a forum BASHING the very thing we are all INTERESTED IN and love (or we wouldn't be here, on this forum). The collective negativity on this board has drastically gone up over the last few months. I just don't get it.

The guy is selling his car, if he wants to ask $50k, who gives a ****? Hit the back button and ignore it. As far as I'm concerned, I HOPE he sells it for $29k, that makes mine worth more. Not to mention that is right inline with what local dealers are asking for new ones.

It seems that people who bash the car the most, are former owners of '04's and spend most of their day on this forum. Why put a car down so much that you obviously love so much?

[wild willy]

The truth stinks....I agree...

Are you kidding me?? Do you really believe this?? Read the rest of the "2006 GTO Information" section. There are at least 2 owners everyday that say they purchased a new one for $28k +TTL. Who made you the "Resale Police" anyway?

And another thing, why does everyone think that used vehicles' interest rates are so much worse? You guys act like the difference is like 0% for new and 8% for used, this is just simply not the case. At my credit union, the rates are exactly the same! New and used.

[Schleprock]

Actually, you have no idea what I do for a living ;)

As for your great story and the subsequent post stating to check another thread... Besides liking to type, what the hell did that have to do with used car values and what I posted??? I said new are going for around high $27k, to 28k...exactly what you're saying LOL

Sorry some can't accept reality, but '06 used GTOs aren't selling at $26k prices. Anything in this world has its few occasions where it will be true, take a basic statistics class if you aren't aware of how that works mathematically. But "buying at $26k+" is not within the bell curve. 12 months from now you'll see '06s with 10-25k miles going for $21k...I'll bet on that ;)

Maybe you should re-read your post.

LOL, you people are great entertainment.

1. I agreed people are buying for $28k, however, I take it you guys are arguing "these aren't selling because X people show up everyday buying". Well, no duh, it's a GTO board!! But, there are 270,000,000 in America. Analyzing the number of cars made since '04s were released, how long it has taken to exhaust each years allocation, the means they used to exhaust them, and the fact the car is not continuing on as of this time...any businessman can agree "it isn't selling" as a general basis. Bob Lutz himself even admitted it.

2. That's great for your credit union, but guess what, most don't use credit unions, and most people don't have credit scores in the mid to upper 600's, let alone 700+. Yes, that is a sad piece of info for our American society deemed "so rich". The second key to interest rates for many loans is often whether you are buying from a dealer or private party. Private party gets you a higher interest rate sometimes. The easiest place you can see this evidence is capital one auto finance.

[mrgto]

Chris,
The car is still avalible, the price is as follows.
$32,685 MSRP
$31,485 Invoice
-$ 1,750 Rebate
-$ 1,000 Bonus cash
_____________________
$28,735
-$ 1,000 GM card points(if full $1,000 is there)
_____________________
$27,735 Buy for TODAY!!!!

Hmmm....

[Schleprock]

Maybe you should re-read your post.

EDIT: Unless this is a mis-print and you typed the "not" by accident.
"Not" as in....there are still 3000 units left, they are not moving off the lot at rapid rates for ONLY being $27-28k for all you get. Thus meaning people aren't technically "buying" them up because they feel they are a bargain. I do know they can be bought for that, my statement relates to market buying trend.

I am not contesting the value of what you get for that price of $27-28k. What I am saying is that THE GENERAL PUBLIC that is NOT made of 2-door, V8 loving, gas drinkers, does not accept the value we see. And they drive resale.

[auditor]

Beautiful car, but I just traded my 06 w/ 8k miles for 23.5K. Good luck though...

[ohmy]

Actually, you have no idea what I do for a living ;)
I said new are going for around high $27k, to 28k...exactly what you're saying LOL


Hey genius, you did not say theyre going for high 27K to 28K, you're saying it now bc you realized how dumb you sounded so you're trying to back peddle, go back and reread your own post and maybe we'll talk then... your exact words: "the general public is not paying high $27k - mid $28k for brand spanking new vehicles"... You should really either think before you speak or just not speak..

As far as "what you do for a living", why don't you share with us exactly what it is you do that makes you such an "expert" on what every dealer location in the US is getting for their GTOs...

Here is some reality for you since you are having real trouble grasping it: the bs that you insisted on spewing out is just your personal speculation, you have no facts to back up your "opinion"...

[GoatDweller]

NO ONE, whether it be forum members here, or used car dealers, are selling used '06 GTO's for $25.5k-26k.

Oh really? According to your nielsen charts and demographcal data WHAT are used 06's going for? Do YOU know, and before you answer use your common sense and understand there is a difference between ASKING PRICE and what the car actually sold for. I doubt you have those figures and for every ONE new GTO that was purchased, and that owner joins here YOU can do the math there are more owners out there than what we see on our boards.
DOn't tell me you actually look at the prices HERE on this forum OR Ebay and expect them to be hint of real world economics.....Do you?


Yes, they may have them priced there, but nobody is buying them/paying that.

Uh, NO! You are wrong and unless you can cough up sales contracts and OTD pricing on what people paid YOU have no clue what they are going for.
YOU were absent for Economics 101 there bud.

The reality is, used '06s won't see any true interest from buyers until they are in the logical realm of $23.5k - $24.5k.

Are you saying you know what logic is and utilize its full capacity?
Reread your own statements, it sounds like you think your the Dr. Phil of GTO sales.... lol@U

According to your skewed 'logic' what do 05's go for? 20k? Do 04's go for 17k?

Mileage, features, condition, and negotiation all play intricate little roles don't they?

I bet if you ask anyone who has tried to sell an '06 here in the past 2 months, they'd tell you that's where most of there offers fell via PM (and before you say they were lowballers, well, if a majority are offering that, then that is only what your vehicle is worth to used buyers).

So I see, seems very evident you are using a for sales section as a measuring tool for GTO sales figures?
Logic is calling you my friend and he's telling you to go back to school:popcorn2:
I won't try to explain others have already done that.
You lack understanding and for the record I could sell it for 26k.

It's all about the sell.

hey OHMY you tha man!!!!

Right on man, maybe the dude has some sort of a split personality issue, or maybe his right half might not know what his left hand is doing... Still, someone claiming they didnt say something right after that same something is permanently posted on this site does have certain comical value, thanks Schleprick, thats mighty fine of you to try to entertain us that way.. heh heh heh heh heh heh

Thank you for your post.

Schleprock, the main point is that no matter WHAT you actually do for a living, there's utterly no way that you can talk about what these cars exactly are going for on any real scale. An acquantance of mine works for a dealership in Daytona, and he laughs because for every single GTO he sold at a deal that returned low profit for the dealer (in other words, a guy came in and knew what he was talking about and argued 'em down), there were three or four other folks who came in, said "Where do I sign" without much haggling and they took the keys and drove off.

It's ludicrous to make sweeping generalizations about car buying, because things like miles, what area of the country you happen to be in, color, etc all have effects on that final price.

[silvergoat2k6]

I just ran my '06 (QSM, 6M, 18", 5500 miles) through Intelliprice, and it gave me a $23K trade-in value. I bought the car for just over $30K back in July '06. Fortunately for me, I'm planning on keeping my car for at least the next 7 years until I'm done paying child support to my ex. It's only driven a few months of the year, so I'm hoping by the time I go to sell/trade it for something else it will still have low mileage on it.

I payed 24k for my 05 MBM with 4700 miles on it... did I get ripped?

I would think an 06 could get ~26k

No, its not bad, but not the best.

[krt]

You guys are unbelievable. I have never seen so many negative people on a forum BASHING the very thing we are all INTERESTED IN and love (or we wouldn't be here, on this forum). The collective negativity on this board has drastically gone up over the last few months. I just don't get it.

The guy is selling his car, if he wants to ask $50k, who gives a ****? Hit the back button and ignore it. As far as I'm concerned, I HOPE he sells it for $29k, that makes mine worth more. Not to mention that is right inline with what local dealers are asking for new ones.

It seems that people who bash the car the most, are former owners of '04's and spend most of their day on this forum. Why put a car down so much that you obviously love so much?

I can't agree more, well said.

[illin1234]

well.. after all this, i've decided i should probably just give my car away to schleprock... i mean, if that's not below what they're going for at his dealership.

Dude c'mon. There is a balance isn't there? Are we all supposed pick daisies and skip whenever you read a thread about an 06 GTO? Bashing a cars' value IS not bashing the car. You seem to not be able to differentiate the two.
There is nothing wrong with a little reality. I agree though a ton of 04 owners cry about pricing and sit on a rocking chair recanting "You know back in the day my 04 cost..."

You seem very sensitive bro. Without the realistic interjections his thread would have consisted of
bump.
morning bump.
c'mon nobody wants an 06 GTO?
bump again.
bump for a sweet car.

IF ANYTHING all of these posts have given him more exposure and public views, soliciting a possible sale.
REmember, any publicity in the context of a sale is good publicity.

You can say I don't know that for sure but the trend atleast on our for sale section says so. I think his asking price is worth it but realistically IMO it will be hard to hit $29,000. I gave him valid points and commented before it was moved to the for sale section. Initially it was in the 2006 section.

It seems that people who bash the car the most, are former owners of '04's and spend most of their day on this forum. Why put a car down so much that you obviously love so much?


I never owned an 04 and never wanted to because quite honestly I prefer refinement, more powerful engine and better brakes, and I am willing to pay for these amenities. I also love the 'loook' of the hood and dual exhaust.

I can't fault ANYTHING about a GTO, atleast an 06 because I own one and know it inside and out. The car is amazing and I will never grow tired of it!

I see what you are saying but 'the balance' thrives on positive and negative feeback. Without it well you know.:)

If he is aggressive enough he could sell it for 29k. I know for a fact. The only thing that limits success is by listening to negativity and becoming it.

[Flash99]

I'll buy it! Wait I already have one.

:)

Good luck with your sale.

[Smitty's05GTO]

lmao this thread went to shit.


good luck to the seller.

[rcu316]

lmao this thread went to shit.


good luck to the seller.

I know, I thought it was the For Sale Forum.

Bump.

I bed to differ. Bashing a car is bashing it's value and bashing it's value is bashing the car. They are one and the same.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be both positive and negative opinions on this forum; I agree with you in saying that there should be. But I don't think you should come in someone's forum, tell him it is worth THOUSANDS of dollars less than he is asking. Do the same people see a car on the side of the road for sale stop and paint "Not worth it", "Overpriced", "NO ONE will buy this car", etc. on the side of it? I think not, this is the same effect you're having in here, in this guys FOR SALE AD.

I'm not really sensitive at all, I'm just trying to prove the point where there seems to be quite a bit of negativity towards this car, by most of whom, are not even owners (at least anymore). I mean anyone looking at a FOR SALE AD (regardless of which section it's posted in) is a potential buyer, and when people come in here and shit all over the price and say it isn't worth it, what would those potential buyers think?

Good point! Agreed.

Exactly another great point.
I have a habit of looking at the for sale section based on the fact when I started looking for an 06 GTO about 6 months ago or more I made it my homepage because I really wanted one bad.

I think only potential buyers should be looking or perhaps the viewer has a buddy who is actually looking for the make, model, color and options to merit such a purchase, this just my opinion.

SOme people on this board have this underlying "feeling" they think they know what every car should go for, and it seems any deviation from their opinions result in BS comments, usually originating from their own purchases and misinformed pricing from ebay, etc....

I mean for this to keep happening is BS and it shouldn't be tolerated.
It is NOT called the "For Sale Section With Opinions and Conjecture"

These comments can screw up potential sales.
Start a new thread with those comments if you have a problem, and I also realize I contributed to the same problem I just mentioned.My apologies to the OP.

While I still disagree with some statements it is their right to post them just not in the sellers thread.
I bet these same complainers don't go on the:

-Sponsers Sales and Group Buys
-Sponsers New product Showcase..... AND talk crap about their pricing. IF they do then they are clearly in the wrong and shouldn't be allowed to be able to surf buyer/seller related Threads.....

I am apart of a Forum that deals with Timepieces and their respective dealers....IF anyone posts any negative comments those people are BANNED from posting in the Dealer's section and maybe either the mods or the rules should change to stop these crybabies from whining. It works.

[cmb570]

if my car sells this weekend I'll give you 25k ??

[STLGoat]

As mentioned
The car is worth about $24k

I know that sucks to hear, but that's what it's worth.

I have an 06 GTO with only 5000 miles on it ( 1 of only 292). If I sold it today, I would expect to get about 23-24k for it.


But there's a sucker born everyday. You might get lucky.

And I also know a guy that picked up a Black 6 speed GTO with just over 8k miles for
$23,500.00

I picked up a 2006, M6, Black/Red with 18's from a dealer just outside Chicago with just over 8K on the clock for $23,440 OTD delivered to my doorstep just south of St. Louis. The dealer even had a custom Sunroof installed that is covered by the warranty...a $1400 option. I consider myself one of the lucky ones that found an awesome deal....I see alot of 05 and 06's in the 25-28k range used around St. Louis..and still 04's above 20K.

If you wait long enough you will find someone that wants YOUR car and will pay that..if you really need to sell it soon...you might have to come down a little bit for a quick sale.

Good Luck!! Awesome car you have there :)

[illin1234]

hey thanks to everybody for all the wisdom AND absurdities... this has been to date the most entertaining experience i've ever had selling a car... for better or for worse...

I can't let my car go for 24k... it's just not worth it to me, but i'm also set to be paying for a car that's going to get destroyed, stolen, or worse.. parked on the street in Queens.... so if someone offers me 26.5k it's got a new home.

Again, thanks to the positive people on here... the negativity was making my brain hurt!

[cmb570]

so 25k too low ? Im serious

[illin1234]

kinda.. got a couple offers of 25, but i need at least 26.5... or 26 and a nice couch (i'm moving).

Rims look freaking sweet, man I need to do that on my PBM

[z28mike]

Wow..what a crazy thread!

I have to put my two cents in and say that after 11 years in the car business, one thing rings true:

VALUE IS PERCEPTION

What someone is asking for any item they own that they wish to offer for sale is their business and their right.

I just hope schleprock isn't in the car business. That's how I feed my family and I don't need anymore 'green peas' who know it all with 90 days in the business ruining the reputation even more.

[StinkFingers]

24,000 cash? hehe thats all the money I have. :(

[darth-bob]

There are about 6 at the dealer near me. I got an e-mail from a salesman that said they are discounting them $7000 off MSRP... for any of them.

Whats that...$26? Man oh man.... Why did I buy that G6 last year...?
:) :gears:

[illin1234]

Car still needs a home... and i still need a couch!

[illin1234]

I also have a Mint 92 Camaro Z28 5spd Convertible 25th anniversary herritage...

same deal, It can't come to Queens with me. I'll make some one a deal on both?

[illin1234]

...or 10k for the Camaro.

[illin1234]

...

[ericwilloughby]

i bought mine with 70 miles on it for 25800 + TTL...so your off a little

Sorry about having to sell however :(

You stole yours. You are an exception. Really, that was the bottom dollar price range I saw last June for very low mile car. My best new car offer from a dealer was 28,000 in May.

[Billybad05]

someone can ask whatever they want and if people would stop letting everyone talk them down, then the value of the cars would stay higher. I tried to buy an 05 red/red m6 with 2000 miles on it back in august and they wouldnt come down lower than 26k. good luck with your sell and for the people bitching about prices if your not interested in buying it dont post anything, because ur negative input is not needed or appreciated.

[Dreamcastin]

hey illini, you just need to delete this thread and start over, the :quoties: smart:quoties: police have ruined your thread. im glad you all piss on his thread and have no intentions of buying his car. good luck with your sale.

[illin1234]

thanks folks.. that, is what i'll do.
