Sounds like you have absolutely no idea what you want in a car.

Unless there's something you left out, your grand prix has plenty of life in it. Parts are mostly plentiful, relatively cheap, and the car is pretty easy to work on.

Keep driving your grand prix for a few years. Who wants to take a nice car to college, and park it in a lot full of cars that people don't care enough about(door dings and scratches galore).

I understand. But it's really out of my hands. Parents don't think the prix has much left :(

So you like acuras but not hondas? well whatever i guess. Im going to highly suggest an acura RSX then. if you want it to be quick and fun you can get the type S, if you want a good DD you can get a base and get good MPG. This would also be better in snow than the firebird and gto ect.

Ok, so if your parents think you have to have a car - sit down and think about what you need/want in a car.

You're throwing out small cars, big v8 powered cars, suv's.
Do you need an SUV for any reason?

No I don't need an SUV you're right.

I thought about it today. I narrowed it down to a Jeep Wrangler Sahara, a lower mileage GTP, and either an eclipse or an RSX.

I think the GTP might be the best option. That way I can still be with you people :cool:

I'd never own another WBody again.

I'd also drive that Grand Prix until it falls apart.

It's probably got another solid 50k on it at least if it is in "decent" shape now.

I'd tell my parents to save that money until I got out of college that way you can have a nice car to start off with...not get all crapped on and ran down the four~ years you're in school

The engine maybe. Just maybe. If I go get a full cleaning done. My body, the suspension in particular has maybe a few more winters before the rust causes things to fall apart. Lol I especially need new struts and mounts. Soon.

All struts do is make your ride better.

Don't need working struts to drive a car...

Technically LOL.

Those and 80s Monte Carlos are pretty sweet.

But something gives me the feeling you're being sarcastic.

And perhaps you don't need them. But rusted out mounts don't help lol
