New Car

[digimon7068]

You probably know the GTO's were all rebadged cars from GM's Australian Holden division. They are generally well built cars, but did have a few issues. IIRC a particular batch had shock failure that showed up quickly after they were purchased so ask if the car you're looking at was one of those that got dealer replacement shocks. Check the paint. Some had paint issues and may have had to get partial repaints already so you want to make sure the matching was done well.

Definitely look for a one owner. I used to read a GTO board back in '05 and '06 and many of those guys really babied their cars. Find one of those types and it should be in fine shape mechanically. When looking at them check to see if the owner installed a oil catch can as oil loss can be an issue and the addition of a well done catch can will keep your oil level good. In generally eyeball any DIY mods really carefully. Some guys may have done excellent jobs on mods, others not so much. You will find cars that are no longer stock so watch for that.

All the GTOs I see on the road these days already have faded paint and really sloppy panel fit. They were not well made and aren't holding up. The interior seems to get shabby pretty quickly too.

Do you even need to ask if Infiniti or Pontiac is better?
