take it for a test drive, never know it might be solid. iirc it was plastidipped. thats a red flag for me, who knows wtf its hiding under there.
the 3800 engine is just so much better to me. hell its not in the top 10 engines ever made for no reason.

I still think that GM should have continued with the 3800 V6, there was a rumored prototype of a Series 4 that made ~300hp na. I have only ever seen it mentioned on here and can not find any legit info on if it is true or not.
I didn't realize the 3800 was that good. I plan to take it for a test drive and I asked about the dip and he said the only thing was that the fender flares were a little faded. I like that metallic green color so I'd take the dip off and coincidentally I have a whole kit of lime green dip with lime green pearls ready for a car since I was going to dip my galant.Quote:

I hope that's the case with the reliability and cheap parts placement since I found a couple of regular Regals which I'm pretty sure they all use this engine minus the GS that is supercharged. I also found the last gen Grand Prix and I guess you guys can tell me if series iii is better that series ii Here's what I found:

Series II and Series III are essentially the same engine, just a few changes here and there, http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...s-of-3800-InfoQuote:

This one isn't too bad http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/5449135161.html
Skip this one http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/5415100657.html and that GP, its an 05 base model, with what looks to be no options even has some nice hubcaps not worth what they are asking.
And I really hate you guys over there, you have a lot more options for cars than we do, if I look for a grand prix or Regal I am lucky to find 3 cars in my area on CL.
