2005 Pontiac GTO Blue w/ 6 speed

It's a blue 2005 GTO with a black leather interior, and a 6 speed transmission. It has just over 18k miles on it. It has all the standard GTO features, 6 disc Blaupunkt CD changer, power seats, ABS, cool little driver information LCD. The interior is in awesome shape, the only thing different than stock is the shift knob I installed when the shifter was replaced.
Mechanically it's also in great shape, no problems that I know of. I have replaced the front and rear springs along with the shocks and struts. Factory rear springs were saggy (common GTO problem), and since I was buying springs and doing the work, I just went ahead and did all 4. I replaced the stock springs with a set of King Springs that lower the car around 3/4". The new shocks and struts are Monroe GT Sports. All was purchased through JHP out of Australia, and I still have the paper work on it. JHP has stated that they will honor the 3 year warranty on the shocks and struts. While doing all that I also replaced the upper strut mount, and front radius rod bushings with new polyurethane units. Both items commonly fail on GTOs, and I didn't want to have to worry with it in the future.
The previous owner had installed a B&M shifter which shifted like crap. I replaced it with a GMM Ripshifter, also ordered through JHP. It shifts awesome, and is a well respected brand among the GTO crowd. Along with the shifter I installed "Lou's short stick" which is just the shifter shaft, which shortens the throw a bit, and angles the shift ball toward the driver. On top of that is a Hurst 8 ball style knob.
External visual mods are having the rear insert between the tailpipes painted body color with the GTO lettering in silver. I also installed a set of 5000k HIDs from DDM tuning in the projectors. The front springs seem to have settled a tiny bit more since the pics, and it sits a little more even than it used to.
There is a minor scratch on the drivers door, and a small ding in the rear bumper cover (looks like someone bumped it and the license plate screw did it). Both were there when I bought the car, and I have no info on where they came from.
If you have any other questions, feel free to email me or PM me here. I still owe money on the car, and would like to get around $19k for it. If you want pics of anything specific, let me know.
