I like how you find the crappiest picture to compare with professional, doctored interior shots. LOL

To be fair, it wouldn't make much of a difference. The GTO's interior isn't anything like a 90s Pontiac. It was pretty nice for its time, definitely a league above the interior in my S197.

didn't see his comparison either. I had a 00 GTP also. The GTO was way ahead of the curve on interior materials. For those that haven't been in one. The red on the door panels is leather. The red on the center console, under dash, and lower part of door is faux suede.

I said Felt. Just because you dress up your interior bits with leather, does not mean it feels any better.

Buttons and such were still the fat, round pontiac style garbage.

Ermagherd! The put leather on the door panels! so ****ing what, pos 2g dsm's that were made from 95+ had leather wrapped door panels and you dont see me gloating about that.

If you can sit in the car with your eyes closed then open them and go "I must be in a pontiac" then it feels the same.

None of the control buttons are round are over exaggerated like in a 90's Pontiac. There is nothing about the interior that feels cheap or American. It feels much more MB/BMW than GM. Now if you said it's exterior reminded you of larger cavalier, I could agree.

Thats funny that you posted the '65 Galaxie. Thats my car, I just listed it this morning. Lol.

It's hard to beat the value of an 07-09 GT500. Low, low mileage cars are barely over 30K. I'm personally thinking about getting rid of my 90's Pontiac(GTO) and replacing it with an 07-09 GT500.

Seats look good but other than that meh.

Seats are spectacular and honestly the interior is extremely nice, especially for a car from that era. That being said, DO. NOT. EVER. BUY. ONE. I spent 7,500 dollars in 18 months of ownership on mine before finally getting fed up and dumping it. Worst suspension set up in history.

I'm lucky. No suspension issues, except those caused by me. Eibachs on, took them back off.

Is this better? Not even a Grand Prix from 2004 can compare to a GTO's interior. Much less one from the 90's.

Found you a GTO with dirty floor mats.

what about a Toyota Supra... Those resell very well. Anything Cadillac related has pretty bad resell value.

Dealing with parts issues for 90's Japanese performance cars is what drove me to buy a Terminator. You seriously don't want to go there at this point unless you have prior experience dealing with it.

Not to hijack the thread but elaborate are they discontinued and hard to get the parts? Or they have to be imported?

You arent helping your case any by posting more pics of the same grand ams or whatever. They all look like the same shitty cheap american 90's interiors.
