Looking at another w-body

**batman1988** · 02-22-2014

Bought wife a 04 escalade esv last year. Now she says I can use income tax refund to get another Impala. Been hunting for a week and can barley find any for under $5k. Did find one in Iowa, I am thinking about going to get it. Its the closest one I can find. What do yall think?

This may or may not help you, but If I was you I'd be looking @ something like this, and piecing together a topswap...

Actually you gave me a good idea. I found this not to far away from me for a good price, just needs some new clearcoat on rear 1/4 panel. Already called and talked to the guy. Engine and transmission are in good shape. Wife said I could get it. So fingers crossed its still there when my taxes come in at the end of the week. I would top swap it or just go turbo with the left over money from the amount she said i could use.

screw autotrader craigslist is full of wbodies........ under 1k is pretty easy to find if your willing to buy one with a blown engine or trans, if your modding anyways why not?

Yeah around here its people asking 2k over book for a pile of ****.

I have $5k total budget, which is not much if I buy a w-body with a blown motor or bad tranny, plus i havd surgery on my back last year and have limited lifting abilities. So a good running w-body is best for me. Then I can mod it later. But I want a Monte or a Impala. Those are the only 2 my wife said I could get. She wont let me get another GP because of how hard it is for me to get out of it.

Impala or monte are not going to be any easier to get in and out of......

Drove 250 miles to Joplin, MO last night and got my w-body......98 Buick Regal GS with 125k miles on it. Picked it up for $3200. No rust on it at all. INterior is in great shape. Engine and transmission are running good too. Will post pictures when I find my stupid camera.
