    Getting kinda old of a non supercharged grand prix. What do you guys think should be the next car? I was thinking a 2000-2003 gtp, 2002 regal, or a newer ford ranger (dont hate :P) I have about 3200 to spend. Just looking for some opinions. Thanks

    Make a drive...a small roadtrip

    its worth it it for the right car at the right price. Staying within your area your going to limit your options a bunch.

    Question is, do you want to stay in the W-body area, or want something different? That $3,200 would be a nice down payment on something if you can/want to swing a car payment. I don't know your financial status so I can only offer some other ideas.

    And don't be afraid to look outside your area/state for something you really want. Like was stated you will severely limit yourself on choices. Heck, even shipping a car to you would probably run around $400 or so, maybe less depending on how far away it is. When I was looking for a new car I found one in Vegas that I was going to fly in and drive back. The price was right and justified the plane ticket (plus I didn't mind the thought of blasting through the desert highways on the way back ). I slept on it for 2 days and by the time I made the decision the car was gone. Still kinda pisses me off, lol... But hey, you snooze you loose.

    Very true guys. I'm only 17 and still is highschool, I currently work at a grocery store, and get payed very well for my age. Down payments I'd like to stay away from. I will widen my search , hopefully find something that catches my eye. As for sticking with w body's, really no preferance, just want something different and a tad faster
