The car appears flawless to me, but that's based on about 10 pictures.

I love my GP but that price is too high.
Need to know how it got the miles. If driven once (say from Monterey to Texas) and parked, I would not be interested in it for a daily driver because it has been sitting for five years. 1,100 miles over 250 weeks averages out to about 4 miles a week which I do not believe is enough driving to keep everything lubricated properly.
Look for something with more miles and less price where someone has already dealt with the normal warranty problems.

GP0658

$28K seems too high to me, many GPs are selling now in the low $20Ks, sometimes lower still with high mileage.

Yea,, too high. BUT, I would have to go HHHmmm... since the miles are so low.. You couldnt get a R56 for that price as a somewhat equal car. So less the warranty, I would have to concider. Just have some
money set aside for the normal stuff the will most likely go wrong. Window motors, motor mounts, water pump seal ect.....

I tried. They said they were going to hold out for their asking price. So I found another... GP1254. 21,120 miles for $22k.
