Any idea as to where exactly in Chicago the car is?  I have had some people that are 60 or more miles outside of Chicago say they are in Chicago, sometimes it just easier for people to find on a map then saying which burb they are in.  I have even had a few people describe where I live as one of the southern burbs, I'm about 150 miles south of Chi town.

if GXP's can be had for 15k, I'd try to find an NA for 10k and do an engine swap :)

There is an 07 that is fairly heavily modded already.  It's red and over your budget, but hey, a quick vinyl wrap and your done!  All your mods already done!  It's on the forum, so I assume you have already seen it.

Isn't part of the fun actually doing the mods yourself and watching your baby blossom into something you have created?

I can't see him buying that either.  I'm sure he wants to do his own thing with it!

Go-n-Def is right, I would prefer to do my own thing.  Its more fun than getting it from someone who might not have the same tastes as i do.  I found a black 2008 Gxp rock stock 19000 miles in Kennesaw ga.  I look forward to future modifications.

Sounds promising. When do you go pick it up? Or, are you having it transported to you?

Sorry to request the clarification, you found one or you found THE one?
If so, congrats!

curious minds want to know what someone might pay for a 2008 GXP that is bone stock?  A range is fine, so long as it's not more than a 3 dollar range...  Not to be nosey, just to see where the real market is at...  No harm in not telling it you prefer.
