    2002 GTP
    171K
    paid 1k for the car, was the guys wifes car said it never got any attention and thought it was just a parts car boy was he wrong brakes were completely shot like no pad at all pure metal on metal was leaking antifreeze and had it in the oil but started and ran at normal temp and no smoke so i bought it.

    Took it home ripped open the motor with some help from you guys on here replaced the LIM gaskets, water pump, coolant flush, i think it had the original dex cool in it! replaced all four pads and rotors, s/c oil, plugs, plug wires, water pump, coolant elbows, both belts, t stat, and 2 tires.

    now the damn thing runs like a beast! has all the power it should doesnt leak a drop or eat any oil i pretty much got this car for under 2k which is a steal if you ask me. then today i had to take it in and get the wheel bearings replaced cuz they were shot and i didnt have anytime to do before i take a trip Wednesday and it cost me 500 big ones what a joke so im hoping i can get another 30k before anything major goes wrong with it
