    i have to disagree.. don't make quite that but best year was 85k. i'd take my grand prix over most of the other garbage out there

    if you make 85, you're married, have two kids, you probably couldn't afford more than a 97-03 GP, even if your wife made a similar amount of money.

    They say, the most expensive car you can reasonably afford costs one quarter of your annual salary.

    If I were you, I would have went for a Comp G, GTP with 3.29's and most of the gasket issues were resolved.

    Exactly, if you're single 85k isn't horrible but if you're married with kids that suddenly turns to ****. With how expensive everything is these days if you've got kids and don't make at least 150k your wife needs a job too.

    Ehhh no, what you need is budgeting and not to spend money on f*cking ridiculous things or buy things you can't afford. People spend WAY to much on things they don't need

    Yeah, that too, but 99% of Americans suck at that
