This is just an idea, but the '05 or '06 GTO's really catch my eyes. I've read reviews that they are really well built cars, and they have a ton of power. I'm doing alot more commuting now that i'm in college so i'm looking for something more reliable, but i still need the V-8. That's why i was thinking about the new GTO's. If i were to trade in my Trans Am for a used '05 or '06 GTO how much would i have to pay????

Your not going to get much for your T/A. Your better off selling it on the street then use that as a down. The GTO's are the alternative to a Vette and much cheaper. You get the same engine, 4 seats and Independent rear suspension. They are awesome cars. Its going to take a lot of work to get your T/A that fast so Iono. Its your call.Eddie

I'm just dreaming. I know i could only get about 7k for mine. Subtract that from like 25k. Yeaaaaaaaaa there is no way! But i think they are really sweet cars and i actually think they're pretty good lookin'. Maybe a few years down the road....or i could just put that $ into mine.1994 Pontiac Trans Am A4 Pacesetter Ceramic Coated Longtubes,3" ORY,Dual 3" Cutouts,No Cat,!AIR,!EGR,K&N CAI,Flowmaster Exhaust,Mad Z28 Tune,Spohn Subframe Connectors,Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs,KYB Shocks,17x9.5 Chrome ZO6 Rims,5% Tint

wholesale trade...you probably see 4-6K for a mint, accident free car like yours...I would definately try to sell privately.
and retail for a LS2 GTO is mid twenties...you could grab a LS1 GTO for high teens, low twentie with good miles.
If you're down for a $400ish payment with a trade (with a good interest rate)...go for it! They are mad comfortable compared to TAs and built very well...ask Ken.

I meant i could get about 7k for mine if i sold it privately. But yeaaa the trade in values are a bunch of b.s. I think you should be able to trade in and get the same price as it is worth. So if i traded mine in, the payments would be 400/month plus insurance?? hmmmmmmmmm...maybe i could find a way.1994 Pontiac Trans Am A4 Pacesetter Ceramic Coated Longtubes,3" ORY,Dual 3" Cutouts,No Cat,!AIR,!EGR,K&N CAI,Flowmaster Exhaust,Mad Z28 Tune,Spohn Subframe Connectors,Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs,KYB Shocks,17x9.5 Chrome ZO6 Rims,5% Tint

A good rule of thumb is for every $20k u finance its about $300/month.
Say you find one for $23k. After Tax, Licence and Fees your looking at around $25-27. Thats considering you have good credit and an interest rate Under 10% APR. I have seen people that have averge credit and buy a car thats about $25 sticker and walk out paying about $34k b/c they get like a 15-20% APR. Your credit will make, or break you when It comes to financing a car. Just remember that they raise the price on used cars by at least $5k. So you can work them down pretty well. On new cars Its even worse. Our Tahoe Was sticker at $42k. We walked out the door after all Tax, Licnece and fees right under $36k with a payment of $500/month with $10k down on a 4 year contract I believe. Its a game, play it well and you should be good.Eddie
