@Wunderkind makes a good point about intended use. I have one of each, and the only thing that the 2.4 realistically gives up to the GXP/RL is acceleration. And, it is generally more reliable.
Looking to buy and have some questions

If you are mechanically inclined and have bodyman skills, you should be able to find a Solstice for around 5K. The key is looking at as many for sale sites as possible on a consistent basis. Also, Sols with branded titles generally average a couple thousand dollars lower too. Insurance companies have been totaling out Kappas for several years now even with minimal damage. You can also put the word out that you want a Solstice for under $5K, but that might tend to attract scammers. Still you might be able to find a car that's a little ruff, or be repaired with minimal effort and money. I'm sure there are a few Sols sitting in driveways or backyards because someone either doesn't have the money to repair the car, or know how to repair it, or have the desire to repair it.
FB has seven or eight different Kappa groups, plus Marketplace, so if you put the word out you should get some responses. Also check out OfferUP, I've seen some cheap Sols there. The problem with that site is it looks like they never remove ads, so you have to focus on recently listed.
Pre covid I was seeing Sols w/100K miles averaging for around $5K in average condition. Those same cars are now around $8K plus, and now have even higher miles. But I've also been reading that new car inventory is up, and used car prices are starting to fall, which should eventually impact Kappas. Also, repossessions rates are climbing again due to all the high interest rate sub-prime lending. Which may be an another indicator that the used car market is headed toward a correction phase, or so I read
There's a manual 2.4 (27K miles) on Bring A Trailer right now, @ no reserve, current at $4,200, with four days to go. No Reserve: 27k-Mile 2006 Pontiac Solstice 5-Speed
Also found: GXP, auto, 160,000 miles for $6,900. Several years ago I might have gone, OK this is priced right with those miles. Now I go, hmmm, I wonder what's the catch is. 😂

I've been looking at Auto Trader, KBB, and Cars.com. They all seem to have the same listings... Can you recommend any other sites?
