stlunatics2oo3 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 okay tomorrow i might be trading my car a 89 cutlass supreme SL with a 2.8 v-6 with 150,000 miles for a 91 grand prix se with a 3.1 or a 3100 not totally sure but i was told that the motor was once blown so what should i look for so i don't get screwed cause the prix runs now but the odometer reads 175,000 miles so let me kno so i don't trade for a lemon thanks jeremy Quote
Robby1870 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Well, it has to have the 3.1L, since the 3100 hadnt come out yet. Just drive the car, and make sure it has the power it should. Look for crappily done wire connections, coolant attachments, etc. Anything that doesnt look like a factory job Robby Quote
Redfox340 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 If it's a 1991, the motor *should* be a 3.1L MPFI V6. Check for the obvious; any production tags, leaks, RPO codes in the trunk, etc. Make sure to ask for paperwork and read it over for yourself. Get a good whole look over the car and go from there. Best of luck! - Erik EDIT: Robby, damn, now you beat me... call it even? Quote
