Old Car is already gone, GXP comes home on Tuesday. Found the GXP at a used car place literally 2 hours after it came on the lot. Dark Tarnished Silver color, for 5500. 71k on the odometer, only thing the dealer isn't fixing for me is the HUD (broken spring).
It was weird on the struts, I didn't have rot that was visible in the rear towers, but apparently it had been rotting between the top mount of the strut and the tower itself.
In other news, if anyone needs Rear struts for a 97-03 Grand Prix I have a set @_@ bought new ones the day before I hit the pothole.
