Used Pontiac GTO for sale under $40,000 near me

I worked with Regis on a 2000 Corvette and can say it was the easiest buying experience. I’d asked to have the front fender alignment looked at and he had it fixed along with a missing trim piece. The car was in excellent shape and all modifications were disclosed. He’s very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Pricing was very fair and I was in and out within a half hour on the day of pick-up. You can tell he genuinely enjoys the work he does and it shows. Thank you Regis and everyone at Illinois Motors for helping me find my dream car.

I’ve owned mine since 2007 bought it off the lot love my GOAT when I take people for a ride first thing said is do you want to sell it of course the answer is no never let me down I noticed after the GOAT came out other car companies started following the style once you drive one you’ll want one

Great place to buy a car.they were easy to work with and they shipped the car next day!

I have always wanted one. Now that I have it I am not disappointed. Pontiac knows how to make excitement. The Red leather in my car is just beautiful and the seats are the best ever. Performance is off the chain with this thing, stomp the pedal and the thing almost jumps off the road. It will be a keeper!

Love the car, its a joy to drive. Love that it tells you that you have driven two hours and you should stop and rest.

Super friendly and courteous. Definitely worth stopping and checking out the vehicles they have in stock. I was looking for a used truck and they had a used truck that looks and runs like a new one and now I have it!!!

One of just 1,591 HO-equipped GTO Convertibles produced in 1967, this car features a long list of coveted factory options that include an upgrade to Ram Air set up, power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, power convertible top working 8 Track Tape Player and a 3.90:1 Safe-T-Track Posi-traction rear end. Only 1.9 percent of the total 1967 GTO production run were allocated to HO-equipped convertibles, making this car extremely rare. This Pontiac GTO presents beautifully in its Red finish with a black convertible top, highlighted by a set of Rally II rims. The interior is classic GTO with black vinyl upholstery, wood-grain dashboard, Rally gauges with a tachometer, sport steering wheel and factory-issue seat belts, both front and rear. This particular GTO is a low-production example with all of the right equipment, making this a very desirable, high-performance classic. The Rebuild and Balance of this HO 9786133 WS motor was performed by a professional engine build speed shop to provide peak performance with long engine life. The rebuild included re-work of the 670 heads, 72cc chambers with a fresh 3 angle competition valve job, resurfacing of deck, new Viton positive valve seals and new hardened exhaust seats. The 9786133 WS motor was fitted with a new complete Stroker Rotating assembly from Butler Performance with dished Forged Piston to provide 9.75:1 compression with the 72cc #670 cylinder heads fitted with a COMP Ram Air IV Cam, Scorpion Raving 1052 Roller Rocker Arms, 4 barrel Quadra-Jet with a RAM AIR configuration sitting on top of the original 9786286 intake manifold with Power Coated HO D Port Exhaust Manifolds in place for connection to the new 2.5” PYPES no X- pipe SS exhaust system, running on pump gas 92-93 octane.

Back in 2005 I never thought I would purchase a $35,000 car, but the Pontiac GTO had everything I was looking for in a sporty car: Excellent styling, rear wheel drive, large powerful V8 engine, solid transmission, and a stiff suspension. I am SO glad I bought it when I did, rather than waiting for the "new" Camaro to debut. The Camaro was a HUGE disappointment, with its high belt-line (meaning much smaller windows that are too high to comfortably rest your arm on the window sill while driving!), poor visibility, and cheap interior plastics. In contrast, the GTO has large windows, very nice soft plastics in the interior and very nice suede fabric on the door panels. The seats provide excellent support. While the GTO is low to the ground (it IS a sport car, after all), it is not difficult to get into and out of as many sporty cars are. And you do not feel like you are sitting in a "bucket" that you need to climb out of, as is the case with most unibody constructed cars. The LS2 6.0L V8 engine is awesome, with plenty of power in reserve at all times. Yes, premium fuel is recommended, but at least the engine has no gimmicks like a turbo that needs to be cooled down after you stop, before you turn the engine off! The automatic transmission is also a very strong 4-speed (including overdrive) model, rather than those newer 6-, 7-, and 8-speed automatics that cannot decide what gear to be in when you are trying to accelerate quickly or climb the mountains! The steering and suspension are very tight, with no play whatsoever. Problems? The throttle-body unit had to be replaced, and would have been under warranty if I had driven it more in the first 3 years (warranty period). The radiator sprung a leak after 120,000 miles, and a small plastic heater valve developed a crack at 146,000 miles, causing all coolant to drain out; then the replacement part also cracked within 3 weeks! But that has been it. One interior mistake was the standard power seats. When you are in a hurry to get into or out of the back seat, you need to press a button and hold it to move the seat forward to give enough space to climb in and out of the back. This mechanism has broken on BOTH of my front seats; the passenger seat now cannot move at all; it cannot even recline. I have not had it fixed because the estimate for parts and labor was close to $1100! Speaking of the back seat, you would be hard-pressed to find a two-door car with as roomy a back seat as this one. Back seat passengers have a tremendous amount of room. Because of the different rear-impact standards in the USA from Australia (where the GTO was made), the gasoline tank had to be relocated for the US market to behind the back seat. The result is that the trunk is quite small. I have not had a problem with it, but that's because I travel alone. My GTO has 147,000 miles now and is still on the original set of brakes! I am upset that this vehicle is nearing the end of its reliable life (how much longer can the water pump, fuel pump, hoses, etc last before I get stranded?) because there is really nothing else to replace it at a reasonable price. The Camaro design is poor (a shame because I usually love the feel and characteristics of GM cars), and I don't trust Ford (Mustang) or Chrysler (Dodge Challenger) reliability; I have heard of too many problems with them (Challenger = 8-speed automatic transmission.... ridiculous!). And I don't want to buy any technology that is older than this GTO. I don't mind continuing to pay for repairs, since I still love this car, but I just don't want to get stranded in some remote unfamiliar area, away from repair shops I trust. I wonder about parts availability in the future too, since it is a Pontiac, and there were so few GTO's built during its 3-year run (I believe it was limited to 18,000 per year?).

Impressive mix of inventory at great prices and their highly professional staff is friendly and will not pressure you!

I have owned my GTO for about 17 years. The car is true to the name and is a great grand touring car. I have driven it all over the country. It is about to cross the 250,000 mile mark. No real major issues. It is rough, but still going just fine. I plan on rebuilding it.

As a daily driver this car has everything needed to get there while having fun. Power is exciting and handling excellent. I Love this car.

Everything was great. They were friendly and was willing to negotiate a price I was comfortable with. I most definitely will go back to purchase another car if I need to.

This car is faster than I imagined. I bought it from a friend who kept it up very nicely. It's in beautiful shape inside and out. Everything about this car I love except for two things: 1. Getting in and out is difficult. It could just be me. 2. It's hard to see out the back window using the rearview mirror because of the angle of the back window. But other than that ... it's the bomb!!

I bought mine new in January 2006 after I totaled my 1999 BMW Dinan M3. The GTO is simply an amazing performer. The only mod on it is a K&N cold air intake, which actually added a little spunk to it. It revved up quicker and got an extra mile or so to the gallon. I bought a second used 2006 GTO in 2012. It had an aftermarket cat back exhaust system on it and the sound was definitely worth it. Stock, they were identical cars. At the time my husband and I ran them head to head. I was in the one I bought new, which had 40k miles on it and he was in the used one, with 68k miles. I got him through 1st and 2nd gear and he couldn’t make up the difference. My only complaint was the front suspension was set up weird and the front passenger tire rubbed on the spring. It was a fairly common complaint but Pontiac was done making them and refused to correct the issue. We were able to adjust it ourselves and take care of the problem. There was one issue with the climate control electronics but the dealer repaired it. The cars were designed to be put to the test and they held up reasonably well. The used one had to have the top end of the LS2 rebuilt at 70k miles, consequently the bottom end started making noise at about 75k miles, so I sold it. The first one needed a slave cylinder at 44k miles. I I’ve never regretted buying either of them. The interior is a far cry from the M3, but the performance of the LS2 would have left the Bimmer in the dust. In 2006, only 13948 were produced in 7 colors. 63% came with the Tremec 6 sp the other 37% were automatics. They have held their value due to the low production numbers. 15740 were produced in 2004 and 11069 in 2005. If you ever see a 2004 Purple Cosmos GTO, buy it! There were only 700 produced before that color was removed from the lineup.

Bought a Jeep from Salesman Hayden Thomas. Extremely helpful in finding all the answers for the questions I had. Highly recommend this dealership and salesman. Great customer service.

I Loved imports all my life and still own a new and old R32 and R35 Skyline. Nothing like a import Turbo Spool and Blow off Valve. However I own a 2006 GTO as my daily driver. In fact this is my second 6.0 GOAT. They are Cyclone Grey. 1st one I had I sold to my brother who loves it. So far I've done every Full bolt on you can think of. From twin xxx rear mounted turbos, Long tube headers, highflow cats with X pipe. Front mount intercooler,ported throttle body from a c7 vetted. Basically everything that goes along with a twin turbo setup. At low boost (26lbs) On a mustang dyno, it makes around 920 hp to the ground. 1100 ft lbs of tq. Now im sorry for the list of parts. However I've had this set up for 3 years now and running high 9's in a 1/4 mile. I drive to the track and drive home. 690miles to and from. This car is insane. The only issue I ran into was having to roll the fenders for bigger rear tires. Which are now 305s. (275s) for daily which actually fit on the stock oem wheel. Oh also the stereo is trash. Lmfao. So I upgraded to a set of 10 speaker bose with a 1500 watt amp right next to my fuel cell in the trunk. Other than being a vette and viper and lambo killer. I would strip all its parts and ride this car stock until the wheels came off. Point Blank Period......

They were very knowledgeable and helpful answering all the questions I had regarding the car, highly recommend.

Most bang for your buck!!! Fast and fun to drive and a car you don't see every day!!!from day one I knew this car was for me!! 400 hp, loud exhaust and hugs the turns! Love it!!

Beautiful classic’s automobiles And very selective on their business, I planning to buy one soon.

Jad, The salesperson was absolutely fabulous! He really knew his stuff and shared everything with me without any pressure to purchase the vehicle. Probably the best salesman I've ever dealt with and I'm 72! Steve j. Sisson

I bought my GTO new in 2006 and just sold it a week ago - owned for 11 years and 98,000 miles. Only major problem ever was a crack in the radiator. That was a common problem for them. I replaced it with an all aluminum radiator and never another problem. One of the most reliable cars I ever owned. As far as performance - you couldn't beat it in that price range. A Corvette drivetrain and refined suspension plus great braking for about $30,000. Today you can get one around $10,000 and if it was well maintained you are still getting a steal. Looks department - I was still getting compliments 11 years later. They did a great job making in my opinion one of the best looking 4-seat sports coupes ever. It looked like it wanted to go 100 miles an hour when it was standing still. Not a bad viewing angle from any direction. Overall I would have to say it was probably my favorite car I ever owned and I have had Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs and even a couple of imports like an RX-7 twin turbo. I would have kept it, but hey, life changes. If you are interested in one of these, you will not be disappointed in pulling the trigger and putting one in your garage.

Me and my wife came and looked at a Mazda X5 a few weeks ago. Didn’t end up working out but Chico was great to work with! We plan to come back to get our sons first car from him soon

Just purchased a used Toyota from Jim at Burlston GMC. Experience was great. They are a no haggle dealership but fair priced and no surprises and no hidden fees. Jim was wonderful to work with and very organized. I would buy from them again.

They were very creative and resourceful with Financing. They made sure that I got the car of my dreams... I'd recommend them to anyone....

This car has everything you could want from a sports car. The LS1 engine, along with the handling. Makes the cars drive time comfortable. The one I own is an ‘04 just think. In A few more years it will be a CLASSIC!!!!

I highly recommend Walter Guzman. He is a great salesperson and so respectful. I bought a car on my own and at no time during the sale was I asked if it was okay with my husband. Something I really appreciated. The sale went so smoothly and in 3 hours from start to finish I was driving off the lot with my new vehicle. Please insider Frankman Motors and Walter when you are in the market for a different car.

My car is so fast and nice and it’s the best Bargin for the money it was so easy. Super sharp reliable car for the money
