I came fairly close to buying an 05 GTO that in 06.
I'm not thrilled with the looks, but the car is a fun driver. And it's a lot better looking than anything currently in the Mopar camp.
I followed a couple of threads on this board where people claimed to have bought new 05 GTOs for $24K, and I decided I would pay that for one. I quickly found that none of the local dealers would discount anywhere near that level. The best I could do locally was $27K for an 05 and $28.5K for an 06.
I did find a few in the $26K range, but they were halfway across the country. In the end, I bought an 02 WS6 6-spd convertible.
The performance of the GTO sold itself, but the appearance reduced the price I was willing to pay for such a car. Performance will only take you so far, it takes styling or low price (or both) to close the deal.
