ive heard there is a drawback to this also....you have to deal with sand blowing against your paint and hard core paint fade from intense sunlight....

I'm right in upstate New York about an hour from Syracuse, the weather is unpredictable.
I think I'll take the advice and just start looking at a different Grand Prix then, and use this one as my driver while I work on the other.
I guess I'll start looking. I see everyone go crazy about GTP's, I guess I'll start there instead of a GT?

No sand here, I'm a good hour from the coast, though there is enough sun here. I'll take paint fade over rust.ive heard there is a drawback to this also....you have to deal with sand blowing against your paint and hard core paint fade from intense sunlight....

Ok, so when I DO get a Grand Prix worth working on, what should I expect?
From what I've gathered, looks are important, but looks should be backed by what's under the hood. Now I'm not looking for 400 horses and enough to blow the skirts up when I go by....unless it's in a decent budget.
My plan when I get the Prix will be to check under the hood first and make sure everything is alright. If that's done, I'll probably send it in somewhere for paint.
I've seen all sorts of head lights around the forum and some of them look pretty sweet, so I imagine I will invest there. Interior stuff will come with time and money. I'd like some sort of radar scanner, but I hear those can get pretty expensive. I imagine a decent sound system is due as well.
As far as under the hood, what modifications do you all suggest? I'm not looking for a Prix that can race, but I would like something above stock. I've seen stuff about super chargers, exhaust systems, filters, coolers etc etc. So let's say I want an above average GP but I don't have thousands to spend under the hood alone.
Seems like a broad question but...suggestions?

you know what I think your best bet is, to sell that car and try and get what you can and buy a cheap GTP, if you think that roars wait till you hear the GTP whine! that car looks like it's rusted EVERYWHERE and god know's what underneath
