Finally got my 8! 05 GT 6Spd!

It took me a couple months to find a buyer for my jeep, but finally happened, and the next thing you know I find this beauty!

Glad to be apart of the club officially now!!!

It's a 2005 6 speed GT, fully loaded, with only 32K miles and factory warranty til feb 2010!...


I know pics are necessary so here you go:

Your 8 looks exactly like my 8 when I bought it. Titanium grey GT 6 speed with the appearance package. Absolutely beautiful.

1st mod = clear corners! Believe me, it makes a world of difference especially with the color of this car.

nice. you even have NAV. I like it. i personally LOVE the appearance package on the 8. i think it "makes" the car. i'd tint the windows darker, clear the corners....

maybe an intake/ehxaust and some suspension stuff.

then upload some video thrashing up some twisties...

That car is cherry.

Best year, by the way. It's a fact that '05s are 9% faster than all other years.

Congrats.

Got it for 18 OTD, not bad i'd say after tax and fees!

Yea i'd love to do clear corners and a couple other things but insurance is pretty much screwing me over



anyone notice the rear bumper of the 350z in my neighbors drive way? haha that's gonna make me smile every day on top of just seeing my car.

That's my 8 when I found her with 3k on it minus the nav and wind deflector. Good choice on color and int. combo. Have fun with it. It's already been said but get some clear corners. Then pickup some sways and have a blast.

ehhh, clear corners. spend $10 to buy some vinyl tint and tint the corners. it stays legal (reflects amber) and it looks better. it will match if you ever tint your windows too.

Legal always sounds nice, can't afford the increase in insurance so that might work!


But I am quite disappointed with the tires. They're new nexem or something crapshoot that dont stick for a darn, but hey, at least they're brand new and can get plenty of miles out of um!

Yea bumper to bumper til feb of 2010!!! Already had msp16 and everything all done as well, no recalls to worry about!

Yea the newer the better for sure, 19OTD should be feasible tho if they know what the car is worth. But it's only worth what some1 is willing to pay

Nice......we are almost twins......except I have all black leather interior.
See my garage below for pics, they are a little old, but..........

Might want to take the wind deflector off, it's up to you. I did.....even though some of my pics show it when it was on there.

Congrats!

welcome to the club.

lose the moonroof deflector. although being on for 32k miles there might be too much debris under it.

still, car looks clean.
