Thread: Looking to buy a Prix...

Yeah, I heard about those manifolds. I would be very unhappy if I started the car one day and it went boom.

I guess it all depends on what fits my price range. And by the way I'm sorry, but if I am going for supercharged, I am going to get a Bonneville From the Chicago area there aren't any that fit my price range, from my area(detroit metro) there's 1, with issues. 2000 Bonneville SSEI Supercharged Between blue, white, and black tailpipe smoke, is there one more commonly seen in Pontiacs?

Yeah, and from what he says, it sounds like he's been driving it like that - I figure he would have mentioned a coolant leak.

I must eat my words, he said it's white smoke....he said in the ad he didn't know what it was now he claims it needs valve seals in the head. I'm kinda wary now. Plus my racist dad is very against me buying a Detroit car because apparently they're all poor and don't take care of their cars. Since he's the car person of the family, I sort of need him to come along with me, so I don't think this one is gonna happen. Also, it has 180k miles. The search continues...
