Interior good, drivetrain good, factory performance for the money - crap. Trunk space - double crap.

its a 2005 blue/blue 45k miles a few tiny scratches, interior is mint, all stock...
appearance wise, some colors its boring but its bright blue lol
i hate the stock grilles, but the SAP grilles are hot, and needs a set of 06 taillights.

I love any Gto's 04-06. The 05's are great because of the aforementioned LS2 but that wouldn't stop me from getting a 04. Great cars in my opinion.

I was minutes away from signing a deal by trading my Z in for an 06 goat a couple years back, until I found out it was involved in a theft and wreck. Amazing ride quality, LS2, and hellova lot more roomy than a 4th gen. To this day, if i found the perfect one, id buy it. Go for it.

They are amazing cars. The whole car is good quality. I dont know why people complain about the trunk space but we were able to fit 2 stollers in a 05 GTO and a suitcase in the trunk at the same time. The back seats have good room in them.

We took one on a test drive over a weekend and went on a 300 mile mini vacation.

Same here. I've got about 40k I put on mine since I bought the car in 06.. And their suspension problems can/are being taken care of

Nice dood! PBM was my first choice in color for the GTO. When I got mine I couldn't pass up the deal. 23k for a car that had 20k on it.

About the only thing that I really like to do is a set of factory 18's polished and possibly a set of 06/Holden/aftermarket tail lights.

I sold my 04 for $19.5 with 13k miles on it the car was in complete mint shape as you can see by the picture. I had 18s on my 04 for about a month and i hated how the car drove with them so I took them right back off. They do look really nice though.

We do repair work mods on the six speeds. Gm Went for the good Corvette synchronizer rings in them. I was sort of surprised at that. Figured that they would cheap out there? I would like to own one. Bob

My buddy at work has one... I'm pretty sure one day he'll leave the keys unattended and I'll never be seen again.

on a side note, he tried to do donuts and somehow exploded his power steering pump, the other guy I work with did the same thing with his 02 camaro though so i don't know if that has anything to do with GTOs.
