    I know every model has its own little quirks and things you need to look out for when buying one. I'm looking at a 2002 Grand Prix SE 3.1L V6 with alloys, CD player, the works. Looks super clean for its age, but I'd like to know which "trouble spots" to be aware of and look for on this car. Thanks!

    the 3100 and 3400 engines dont have the best rep. id look for one with a 3800, na or supercharged. supercharged ones are called GTP.

    what ever one you look at check the rear strut towers (pull the carpet down ) for rust and the rockers under the doors, very common to be rotted away, its hidden under the plastic molding there.

    98 Buick Regal GS, F body brakes, Caddy STS wheels, tinted tails L36 bottom end, lightly ported heads, 1.95 roller rockers, headers, gen 5 N* 3.0 pulley, FSIC, 42 lb injectors, a BrandonHall rebuilt trans, DHP tuned and AEM water/Meth injection https://goo.gl/gpV5kW
