Hi, All:

It's with a heavy heart that I'm putting GP # 0344 up for sale. I have another vehicle on order, and I can't justify having four cars at the present time (I'm hardly driving one as it is).

It has a few cosmetic mods including Dice ipod adaptor, tow hook, blacked out belt line trim (it's only vinyl, it can be peeled right off if desired), blacked out side markers, tinted windows, as well as a shorty antenna. Also, hard-wired for a Valentine 1. I have all stock parts as well. Also, I will throw in the huge dealer GP cardboard/foam poster they gave me at the dealer.

Around 3,500 miles as of today (mostly highway), and the oil/filter was changed at 2500 with Mobile 1 synthetic. A few very tiny rock chips on front end -- otherwise, nearly the same condition it rolled off the showroom floor in (which happened to be Ferman MINI in Clearwater, FL). Zaino'ed every weekend or so.

I'm located right outside of Orlando, FL - fly in, drive home!

Realistically priced at $29,000 (FIRM), clear FL title in hand. I figured I would post it here before it goes on eBay in a week or so. E-mail contact is best due to the fact that I don't check these forums very often.

Pictures taken today, 12/9:

 

Very nice GP....

 

Thanks!

 

is that a jacked up landcruiser i see in the background? got any pics?

 

i think its an FJ...

how bout some pix of that lotus!!

you have a very fine choice in cars... the FJ, GP, and Lotus are all tops on my list!

 

Yep, it's a FJ (sorry, no other pictures at the present time) -- thanks for the kudos.

Check out my gallery for a picture or two of the Exige S.

 

what are you ordering?

 

A 2008 Viper.

 

So the REAL question here is....wait for it...how does the driving experience of the GP compare (if at all) to the drool exige S drool?

See, that's just it -- the Lotus has downright spoiled me. The GP is definitely comparable, but at the end of the day, the Lotus just puts a bigger smile on my face (from a driving standpoint). If I didn't have the Lotus, I wouldn't be giving this sale a second thought, it simply wouldn't be happening. Since I have no plans on selling the Lotus, and the fact that I prefer to have a nice dichotomy of vehicles to drive, the sale of the GP is the next logical step, unfortunately.

 

Good info - thank you.

I love a man with three cars speaking of logic theretofor.
A man after my own heart (but with a bigger budget.)

 

LOL, Eric.

 

Such a nice car - I think we've spoke over on Elise Talk....
I use to live in Daytona (still have a condo there and return evey year)
Good luck with the sale -free bump for ya.

 

very sharp looking GP! my question is. how can I make as much as you do? =]

 

+1

 

Thanks, guys. Just an update: I traded the GP over the weekend -- if anyone is still interested, I can provide the contact at the dealer where it's currently located. They specialize in classic/exotic/specialty cars on the west coast of Florida, close to St. Pete.

 

Hi Socrates:

Is your car still available?
Feel free to call me at
(619) 733-2541.

Michael

 

His last post noted that he traded it in.

 

Indeed I did -- thanks again for all of the replies.

 

Bump for a sweet car with an owner who has great taste

ie: FJ, Lotus, Viper, and soon to be gone GP.

 

just wondering... why a viper?

I noticed in your gallery you have a couple pix of different vipers... im assuming those arent yours since yours is on order.

 

Please see my remarks above.

Yes, those are pictures of previous Vipers I've owned -- this is number 6. I actually went ahead and got a 2006 Coupe for now, and will be waiting on the ACR edition later this year.

 

I was showing these photos to my dear wife who is a gardener. She wanted me to tell you that you really need to re-pot those nice potted plants into some nice ceramic or terra-cotta pots instead of leaving them in the black plastic ones from the nursery. . . (funny how different people see things differently)

You've got one heck of a collection of cars. Lotus makes me droo. . . .

 

LOL, you read my mind. We've been looking for some nice pots for a couple of months now. Must be the wrong time of year, as none of the store have many in stock to choose from. :D
