Thread: Thoughts on Regal GS...winter car

Well a couple people had them at my school and a few regals so their reputation got out quickly

Regals are perfect winter cars. They meet all my winter criteria.
With proper tires they are good in snow
Comfortable for the those snowy commutes home
Drivetrain is pretty solid and there's few worries for someone with a couple of basic tools

Now.. on to some differences:
Options: Sunroof or not
DIC in cluster or not (some LS could have it)
HVAC was dual manual or dual automatic
Cupholder, broken or miracle (most are broken and can be fixed pretty easy)
GS was typically two tone, could be found in mono color.
Wheels, chrome (aka peel/leak), brushed (best IMO of stockers) and steel with hubcaps (not overly common)
Stereo, Monsoon (aka blown speakers), premium or basic. Most were the premium.
Rear seat, starting in 00 fold down 60/40 was an option
SLP package was super nice, but mostly show
Spoilers were a dealer installable option
Outer mirrors, heated was automatic, auto dimming was an option.
Heated seats (not one like a 97-03 gp, this is both or nothing, 99+ usually were wired for the seats below the carpet)

Options the Regals should have automatically have added:
HUD
Puddle lights
Turn signal mirrors

For the car it is.. those would have really set it apart.

Some have concert sound. I think the earlier ones cause my buddies was a 1997 and it had concert sound on both driver and passenger doors

i got that concert sound bull crap in my 98. the only thing i think that is, is the radio has a cd and tape deck built into it. every speaker was blown to hell in my car too when i got it. it does have tweeters in the front doors. they were tapped off the front door speaker. i cut them free and left them.

Yeah his were blown to **** too. I still liked that car wish I had one rather than my gp

nothing 4 new speakers a sub and amp cant fix lol its just loud enough to keep me happy.

The Monsoon system was known for killing speakers...then best of luck getting replacements based on them being an oddball ohm etc. When I pulled the stuff from my car, the radio was fantastic and all 4 speakers were blown.

Wait so you mean this as a winter beater right Kory?

Thanks bill for breaking that all down for me, I decided to keep looking for now and decide in a few weeks or month. Just saving up some more money to make sure I'll be set w.o working the whole winter lol. The dude with the white regal doesn't have it listed on Clist or anything so I'm not worried about it going anywhere.

haa yeah Zach i wish hahah

If you drive a GPeee then you'd love sitting in a Regal

^^Truth

If you like sitting in a Regal..then you'd love a 92-99 Bonne SSEi (AL7 RPO) seat.

Bouta go look at a 2000 daytona, 130k..listed for 3100. Looks nice in pictures so well see how it goes. It is missing one roof rail tho, so that kinda sucks lol.
