I am still looking for a car to replace my old 92 Grand Am.

I've noticed that there are quite a few used GTO's for sale on dealers
lots.  There seems to be many more used ones for sale than I see on the
streets.

Any one have any comments as to why?
Are they any good?
Could it be the bad gas mileage, poor comfort, or what?

Thanks,
Paul

Bas gas mileage? Even the top of the line 2006 with the 400HP 6 liter gets
25MPG on the highway. The 5.7L get's 29MPG.

I love my 2005 with the 6.0 liter, 400 hp LS-2 engine and 6 speed
manual transmission.  I get about 18 mpg in town, 23 to 25 on the open
road. I think it is very comfortable to ride in and it handles very
nicely.

I suspect the used ones you are seeing are 2004s with the less
powerful 5.7 liter engine.  But, I don't have the foggiest why people
would be selling them trading them in.

There are 2004 GTO's here with 25k miles for $16k.
Sure is tempting.
Have not yet road tested one though.

That is the only way to know for sure. Only you can decide if you like the
car. If you are in the market for a car, go test drive it. You may like it,
you may not. Never know until you try.

only reason I never bought a GTO was no vert option or sunroof or targa top

otherwise I would have purchased one a long time ago
