GP 1430 for sale in Santa Cruz, CA

heads up on a low mileage GP, it has 12k miles. i have not seen the car in person, just on autotrader. price is outrageous. $31.5k.

i'm not personally interested in it, but someone may be.

insane indeed. i guess it will sit for awhile...until they drop the price. it is so far from market value that i'd guess anyone who knows that car won't even bother trying to bargain. oh well. at least the weather there is good for it to sit around in.

They had GP0297 for sale there at $26K back in 2010.
Will be interesting to see how long it stays there. I'll have to do a drive by.

Saw that one pop up. Price is steep - likely they are trying to monetize the hype of the new release and pen it as a collectible. If nothing else, it's drawing attention to their dealership.

Their cars prices tend to run steep. Must be the mystical Monterey air.

$29,900 is too much $ if you ask me, but maybe someone wants a true, trailer queen, collector car!

Me, I like to drive mine.

I would only pay that much if it was GP0014 the lowest US number, I think.
