Because it was free?? All I had to do was R&R a trans in my brothers 97 F150 and my payment was my 00 GPGT. Needed some work but nothing out of the ordinary. Then I aquired a 95 Bonne for the same price after I put a bunch of work into it for the previous owner. She wanted it to go to a good home after she bought a new car so she gave it to me. Still have both and rack up the miles daily. The GP has some goodies accumulating for it (no go fast, but its N/A so no cares), and the Bonnie is just as reliable now with some new parts. Both are decent on mileage, cheap parts and not terrible to look at. All 4 doors so plenty of room for the kiddo and friends.
