Going to hash out numbers with a dealer for an '06 GTO

If it's a manual, there's a bit of a price premium on the used market. I think you can get it for $18-20k if they really want to sell it.
$18-19 is likely fair, It's still under warranty from the factory most likely. You will be hard pressed to find any other car remotely close to it's price range that can match what the GTO has to offer overall. Is it a "GM Certified" car? If so, there's more warranty with that as well.
I love mine as a daily driver.

If he wouldn't budge you should just leave him with your phone number and walk away. Around the end of the month when he didn't make his sales goals he'll start calling.

Look on ls1gto.com. Plenty of people selling their rides.
And 23.5 is way too much. When I wrecked my 06 in May 08, I got like $24.5K from insurance. Low miles 06...I probably wouldn't pay more than $20K for it. Depreciation kills these cars. Shop around more - you'll find other options. Also don't be afraid to look at an 05, there's only two differences from the 06: 06 gets a door lock button on the center console and a standard "Smokers convenience package" which is the ashtray & cig lighter outlet in front of the shifter.
I <3 late model GTO's - unfortunately with the horrendous traffic and constant downpours in FL, plus the long commute, it's not very practical.

NADA says clean retail is just over 20k. Clean trade-in is 15k. They have somewhere around that in the car. I'd definitely offer 18k, and get up and walk if they don't offer what you actually want to pay.
Forget Blue Book, it's worthless and dealers don't use it, except to try to fool customers into thinking they are getting a good deal. Dealers only use the Black Book, and sometimes the NADA guide.

$23500 is too high. Problem is dealers all think we can pay KBB value which is too high. I would not want to pay more than 18-19 for a car with that amount of miles. But I have seen some listed on autotrader with very low (under 7K miles) listed for under $24K .. Tell that dealer he knows where he can go.

As mentioned above, is it GM certified? When I got my Mazda MPV used the certification added an almost criminal amount of warranty to it, bringing it up in fact further than a new car has in terms of miles remaining of warranty.
There are very few of these around but if you can find another comparable and point it out to him maybe he'll see that his is overpriced and budge on it.
Just make sure he has your number and see who says Uncle first.

not when you need to haul a 2x4 every so often. they stretch from the trunk to the passenger seat in most fold down cars.
