    Hey guys. New guy from Chicago. I'm in the market of buying a Grand Prix as a daily driver. I currently own 2005 GTO. Just wondering if there is anything I need to look out for on these cars. Thanks for letting me join the site.

    Dont get a 97 GT a 97 GTP is fine, The 1997 GT trans is a weak point this is because the trans is vac controled. and check fluids

    99-02 is your best bet...'97-'98 had funky stuff...and the '03 had a retarded transmission setup...otherwise...Welcome.
