Default Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Supercharged 3.8 V6

Anyone know someone who has a fairly new one. I wanted to buy an 05 GTP and was wondering how they hold up. I got a good price but I can't decide...Whatcha all think?

Depends how you drive it.
When abused the trans usually fails before anything else.
