Stevo Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Not 30-45 mins ago on the way home I drove through some lots looking for a newer W-Coupe and found an 06' MC LT. Well it was already overpriced compared to other MC's around the province. 19k compared to 16k average for like milage. The usual gab back and forth about car's in general and the price and he leaves to do the old' ''pull around take it for a test drive''. Well I walked around it and he popped the hood and it took me a few seconds to notice the fact that the motor was sitting at an angle. I was for a better word ... shocked. Face it .. most of those vehicles of that age are fleet leases to rental businesses. What sucks is this of all days I had forgot my phone at home so no pictures. I made an illustration of how it looked below. He closed the hood after 'not seeing the issue' and got into the passenger side to start the car as if I was gonna test drive it. I walked around the car to look for nothing in order to think of some way to say 'no thanks' and just opened the driver door and said. With the motor sitting like that. There's no way I am driving this car on or off the lot. Face it ... my insurance rate is high enough without 2 accidents in less than a year. I opened the hood and finally got him to agree that there was an issue. His response was that he was used to Impala's . Guess he does'nt know those either. I told him that there's no way I am interested and reinformed him that there was a cheaper MC in NewGlasgow with less milage and more options (wheel package was better). To think that my friends always told me to buy new when I had to fix something broken on my 88' and 93' CS. lol. Jeez. Quote
Psych0matt Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 can someone say re-built? my thoughts Quote
89GP_SE Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 can someone say re-built? Bent Frame FTL!!! Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 could a blown out lower mount cause something like that? Quote
digitaloutsider Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Some just sit like that. My buddy's 97 GTP and my Regal both have crooked upper motor mounts. Neither have ever been wrecked. Quote
slick Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 The 98 Intrigue me and Rob just did has a crooked mounted, but they are nice and solid. Quote
rockfangd Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 i have seen a few like that sadly, most of the time it is the 3800s. not a pretty sight. mine sits perfect and it is a 94 Quote
Stevo Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 My grand prix-of-shit's 3100 is straight as an arrow. There's no way a new car like this should be like that. If it's just the way it is ... I think I may end up drawing the line on buying anything new from GM. Shit in is shit out. Not impressed. No way I'd pay anything close to what they want for it. Quote
Euro Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Why I wouldn't buy a new car....quality sucks! Quote
