    Ive recently gotten my 97 grandprix back in at least decent running order. However now i find myself looking at what i think is a better prix. It is an 02 grandprix gt,black,sunroof,new tires. This car is in really good working order, it was owned by an elderly gentleman and has 150000 miles compared to mine with 214k. His has no rust,super clean(even under the car) whereas mine has a good deal of rust spots under and on the car,including the rockers. His has alarm system,factory radio,and remote control. Mine has none of that. I drove it,it shifted smoothly and had nice response and pickup. Hell even had original working foglights, mine does not. The engine bay is pretty dam clean. The only problems i detected was it looked like it was gonna need new upper/lower intake gaskets soon (been through that already haha) and the ABS light was on, slight scraping upon braking. The guy wants $3000 and im really thinking hard about it.

    With the problems you have had with your car and the money you put into it, I would say buy the 02 GP. Sell yours if you can and just bite the bullet and buy this one.

    1998 Grand prix GT Black coupe- Top swapped, XP cam
    2008 Grand prix Midnight blue- The slow but nice car
