I believe that auction you're referring to ended up selling for $6500. I don't think your car will sell for more, since it has more miles than the one auctioned off, and people look at that too much. However, maybe someone will fancy that lovely shade of red and you might get more. I don't know ...

It's in very pristine shape for nearly 77k miles- except for the center console lid has a few cracks and a bit of wear on the steering wheel. However no need for a restud. It's a 2005. But anyone who knows N*'s knows the changes made in both bolt length and design by late 2004 that made head gasket ...

At this point, this community has seen plenty of 2004 and 2005 GXPs have head studs fail. They absolutely did not redesign them in any meaningful way for these years sadly.

Who knows when it'll happen. I personally want you to get get top dollar for it, as other than the center console it appears ...

If you do cars and bids it better be in pristine shape. Have you restudded the block? If not, that significantly impacts that value of these in my opinion.

Think I may try carsandbids in a few weeks when I have more time. I think someone on there would appreciate all the service records that comes with the car and just being able to post a ton more pictures than most other sites would allow. Although seeing in person would certainly surprise most ...

It's a southern car so clean top and bottom - but did just have a wash :) But I'm Fine with the questions. The internet tends to have a way of blowing things way out of proportion sometimes. With all things considered, and with proper maintenance being the key, by 2005 N*'s are no more prone to head ...

Thinking of selling my 05 GXP. I have too many cars and this is just too nice to end up sitting outside so thinking it may be time for a good home. Thought about using carsandbids. Anyone here sold a car on that site and have any tips or suggestions?

One way to avoid the head bolt/head gasket issues is to get any car from 2005-2011, as their head bolts were from the LS6 V8 Corvette engine.

They started switching the old ones for the LS6 ones around halfway into the 2004 model year, so be weary if you choose to get one from 2004.

And in 2005 ...

The 2005 GXP doesn't escape either. Lots of examples out there with failures in the 2005 year.

With only around 2500 GXP's produced in 2005 I wouldn't say there are "lots" of examples of head gasket failure. You could also say the LS4 in Gran Prix GXP's doesn't escape either as there are truly ...

I thought about selling mine, but just recently had a complete engine reseal done so I've been putting a few miles on it lately and and think eh.... maybe not. Although I should because I have too many cars and I'm running out of room. It's a Crimson red tint/pewter interior southern car with 75k ...

Had mine done last week. Purchased the car last month knowing it had a lower crankcase leak. Car is in excellent shape otherwise. Crimson red tintcoat/dark pewter interior with every option except heated seats. Was in sellers family since 05 and said was always garaged and driven in rain only a ...
