Thread: My 98 Grrand Prix - accident - not dead

That's a nice pay check.

I'd definitely be looking for a GTP with that money.

Ya, hard to find a GTP around here but am looking.

The car I wanted was sold yesterday (2007 Lincoln Town Car)

& the Buick im driving is good for now, but will be looking.

OK found my next vehicle - just need the insurance cheque.
2004 Dodge 1500 SLT - $3500

Rust. Everywhere. The fenders the bed sides. The U joints the leaking rear diffs and most of all the worst trans ever


Edit. However if it's a 4.7 truck I would be less Leary about the trans.

Yes 4.7L 2wd quad cab
crappy rims
stupid crappy cheapy hood scoop (will take off after I buy)

& could not find any rust anywhere.

Don't the 4.7s blow head gaskets?

Any vehicle you buy - someone will find a problem.

This truck runs & drives great - ive driven it, & needs minor work other than a facelift.

i always appreciated this car.
sad to see it go.
but on to bigger and better things man!

Got Dodge Ram - Needs CLEANING

its got trash in the bed already, dont be that guy lol

Best part of having a truck... everyone throws trash into your bed for you.

Check into a bed cover. I grabbed one of these in 02-03 and it's still in great shape

Ive never used a bed cover, even when I had a cap - didn't like that either.

& junk in box is what peeps were using for weight for traction.

Not trying to be a jerk here, I’m just saying….

I am not the one who put the stuff in the bed, previous owner, & in prior truck ive had, I do use sand bags, they're cheap, & if u need sand for some reason you have it.
I am also going to see if it has a limited slip or not, if not will put one in before next winter.
& I did not buy a 4x4 for 2 reasons - cost & any in my price range need too much work.

Snow tires and a posi is better then limited slip IMO

if that truck aint a 4x4, why did you buy it? 2 wd trucks are as worthless as tits on a bull in my world.

^ I kind of agree. One of the main reasons I would buy any truck in general, is for the 4x4.

To each their own I guess.

In the southern half of the US 4x4 is just extra equipment that rarely comes into play during normal use. Guys who can't throw a 2WD around with authority need to stay home when its nasty out. I have always just shoveled the driveway snow into the bed and that way it unloads itself as weather improves. Gotta have plenty air in tires though. Those Rams are alright but its a lot of steel if only one person rides in it. Not a bad choice IMO.

I was looking for a car, SUV, Pickup, Since over the years ive owned almost every type of vehicle, & even with rwd in the past I have not too much problems with snow & ice, just have to know how to drive them.

& some or most of you know it doesn't matter what other think - I do my own thing.

truth about knowing how to drive it. but Canada man. id be all over a 4x4 if i lived there.


you guys down south its pointless to get a 4x4 unless you really off road your truck.
