I would recommend the later model....its always going to be better than the GC8, no matter what you do to the GC8.

Yep I agree, newer car will hold it's value. You spend 25k on a GC8 and it will be worth the same, at least this way the 25k will only depreciate over time.

Go the newer car for sure! Or get an 05 and spend 8 grand on that! Better shape IMO

You'll never recoup anything close to what you spend on it re mods. And u may actually struggle to sell it because of the mods. I'd spend it on a newer model.
