Default Cheap GT

http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/...=100&silo=1011

I can't believe how cheap this GT is going for. Too bad I am not in the market at the moment!!!!

Too good to be true, that price is wrong or its a "urine take" to stir the owner...

Yeah something is up there, although, with the 5.0 coming I reckon some would want to try and clear out ASAP....maybe the delay is a small blessing for BOSS owners wanting to upgrade?

Its been a bit of a blessing for dealers as most have cleared existing stock, but i can't see anyone being that desperate to sell at 15K below market value regardless of a new model around the corner... But i guess you never know...

Id say thats what the dealer has offered him, so he has offered to everyone else for the same price.

Possibly but a silly move when all he has to do is bump it up by $5k or so and he makes some more money, its still cheaper than others on the market. Perhaps the cash doesn't mean that much to him, or he doesn't want to give the dealer the satisfaction of getting it cheap..hehe

I just got an evaluation done on the same car (colour / options) but a 2009 plate and the dealer put 47,000 on it as a trade.

Somethings not right, 35 kay is a BFII trade in money.

Exactly what I was thinking, its probably the price the dealer has offered or slightly higher

I was looking at this last night when it was still $55K. Thinking that wasn't a bad price.

So I rang them. It seemed real. But now its sold, to someone else. They had a lot of call apparently

It seems someone just got a bargain.

And yes Davway was right, it's what the dealer offered...

Watch this space to see if it turns up somewhere.

Damn this would have been close to the deal of a life time for some lucky person. $35k for a FG GT with only 7k clicks......

The listing has been removed. It was either an error or a scam.

There is something odd. Check this. I run the rego on vic roads.

Need someone to confirm its the right rego. I cut and pasted it last night out of the advert.
