Thinking about getting a w-body


Recommended Posts

Posted

It's been about 4 years since I've had my 91 grand prix and even longer since I've posted on here. I'm basically looking for any kind of w-body up to $2500 I would like no rust but being in Michigan that's impossible lol. I would travel for the right car I would say 200 plus

Craigslist..I would try searching from Toledo to Grand Rapids ? you might find something.

Posted

I look there all of the lol I'm kinda picky on mileage I want something under 180,xxx

How about a black 97 grand Prix with 102k fully loaded for 3000... Comes with all maintenance records... Where at in Michigan? I'm in Milan quite a bit

shouldn't have a problem at all finding something for $2500.....probably even a decent MCSS or GTP...

piggybacking that post....what are you looking for? GP/MC/Cutlass/Regal ???? 2dr/4dr?? etc....

Yeah with $2500 you can find pretty much any w-body in some way shape or form

Posted

I would say either a grand prix or regal don't matter 2 or 4 door

Al could I see pictures is the car. I live in ludington I think I'm about 3 hours from the Ohio border

Well I don't have access to a computer right now but if you pm me your number I will send you pics in the morning... I still have a few things I would like to do before I sell it and I don't know how soon you want a new ride... Google search to see how far you are from Milan mich

Fwiw: You should be able to get a 98+ gtp / gs or a 2000+ gt for $2500.

I find them but high miles or rust but I got until sometimei n February whenever my girlfriend gets her taxes

Posted

Careful shopping pays off...I bought my '95 LQ1 Cutlass convertible a year and a half ago for $2600.00...even with tax and registration, the total was only $3,000.00

Posted

Hell, I paid $2500 for my 2004 Comp G and all it immediately needed was tires and spark plugs.

Posted

And its leaking oil? And the supercharger coupler isn't the greatest... Am I right? I'm selling a car that needs absolutely nothing to be driven for quite a long time... The brakes are all good... Everything works like it should and its a very quite smooth riding car and I hope the next owner is very happy... I would keep it but I want to move out and I also want a truck... One of those two will happen

Posted

Hell.. I paid $3800 for my 2006 Monte Carlo, and that was in 2009... Sure it had 97k miles on it, but I haven't had to do anything serious to it (a evap sensor, tires, and sometime down the road it will need the headgaskets done (the 3500 leaks externally, and every one does it just like the 3100 intake gaskets problem))... There are awesome deals out there, and just because a car is cheap doesn't mean its crappy...

Posted

You did find a very good deal on that Monte! You are correct that just cause its cheap doesn't mean its crap... I have found many good deals where the person didn't want much out of it... Heck I only paid 100 bucks for my parts car 96 grand Prix running and driving

Posted

I always find deals on Craigslist but never have the money when I do find them

Posted

I know what you mean... Lately I haven't even attempted to get on cause I know I will find something I want

Posted

 

It sure looks sharp... I can't say I'd ever buy a 3100 powered W again though... When you need it to move quickly, it sure makes a lot of noise when you step on the gas, but it doesn't get up and go too well... Since the Regal and Century are essentially twins (with the Regal having the more powerful engine and better interior (IMHO floor shifter and buckets FTW)) I would try to pick up a Regal.. Around here at least, you can get a Regal GS for around that price (it may need a little bit of work or have a little higher mileage than that Century, but if you are mechanically inclined at all you can get a great deal)...

Posted

Yeah I would rather have a regal since it has the 3800 It's time for a car with a little more power. Right now I've got a 99 malibu that I hate lol.

Posted

The 3800 definitely pulls the car a lot better than a 3100... I have driven my grandmas century a couple times and its piss slow lol plus I think some of those got 2.xx gearing which makes them even more pitifully slow... But they do get incredible mpgs
