I tried to look through the message area that I’m typing in to see where I could hit an icon to possibly post some photos, but can’t seem to find it.

I actually have another one. That’s not like your grandma‘s couch when it leaves the wheels are up about 12” in the air.

I was talking to Shark; I think he was referring to the plastic over the car (wasn’t insulting your car with that comment) and my joke was also in reference to that: Italians being known for having plastic covers over the furniture. I know my Italian grandparents did that. Anyway, the joke missed, apparently. Both mine and Sharks.

… anyhow. Very nice collection you have!

Yeah, that's what he meant ... like Raymond:

 

[YenkoGuy]

lol. What’s funny is my parents had the same exact plastic on their furniture and in the summer if you sat down, you stuck to it lol

 

[YenkoGuy]

All good. No worries. Thank you.

The sad truth is that most GT's are not driven very much <500-1000 mi per year and, as such, maintenance records may seem sparse. Quite frankly there's not a lot of maintenance that can/should be done in GTs that are predominately not driven. In summary, if you're looking at a <2500 mi car, despite it being almost 20 years old (gulp!), you may not have a lot of service records.

What I advise new owners to do, however, is to get a good/fresh start with maintenance to get the car up to par. Once you've done this initial "baselining", the GT will require very little moving forward.

You’re not lying, I’m overdue to come see you guys and your new garage. Been so long it’s probably not new anymore

I bought a 2005 4-option with around 10k miles on it 2 years ago. It didn't have any maintenance records and the PPI I had completed didn't show anything of concern. It was stock except for an aftermarket exhaust. I bought it knowing I'd drive it. I've put about 10,000 miles on the car and have had ZERO issues. Just an oil change and checking fluids and 1 set of new tires . About 7,000 of those miles have been spirited through the Blue Ridge Mountains while on road rallies, going pretty hard on the car at times. This thing is bulletproof and an absolute joy to drive! I think if I bought a low mile car I would have been worried about putting miles on it. I've also heard the more years they've sat without being driven, the more problems get uncovered. Wish you the best of luck with your search! It seems they're getting more and more expensive by the day and it should be a great long term investment.

Maybe I should expand my horizon and consider looking for a car with 5000 or less miles. I do enjoy my cars and fully expect to enjoy it in good conditions and put miles on it without reservation of the end value but like everything I have I do good maintenance and treat them very well.
