Like most HPP readers, you've got your eyes set on a classic Pontiac, but even the recession hasn't brought down the prices far enough to prompt you to buy an old GTO, Trans Am, or other model.
Have you seen the prices on late-model Pontiacs? LT1 Trans Ams get between $3000-$7000 and there's lots of low-mile ones out there. LS1 Trans Ams aren't far behind, $6000-$10,000 can get you a clean one. Even '04-'06 GTOs have sank in price and you can find them for $10,000-$15,000.
