LuminaPower92 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 You just have to look everywhere. I was able to pick up a taken car of 93 Lumina sedan a a year and 1/2 ago at an estate sale and since then has become a garage queen. One base sedan you wouldnt expect to see. Quote

I watched the auction end. Seems kinda messed up that they're now starting it at $15k. Oh really? I missed that. Well then, hmm....haha Quote
virtuetovice Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 If I had 15k laying around I'd bid on it. Quote
fastbird232 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 They were inexpensive American-made cars when they were new. Not exactly the sort of vehicle you keep under a car cover and only drive on Sundays. My '94 sedan is in absolutely excellent condition for its age, but it's still a poorly made claptrap. Quote

supertrick_05 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 I saw that one before. Damn nice TGP! If I had the money, I'd buy the damn thing. Just too bad it's not a gray interior. I can't stand tan interiors in anything. Quote

Some of you guys saying these 1st Gen W's were just a general American made car when they were new. Here's a question for you, Have you ever sat in a 99-05 Grand Am (for example). I was checking out a reletive's 02 GA for about about 20 minutes one day (partly because it had a few issues needing fixing). Soon after climbing out of the GA I hopped in the 90 GP SE to cruise back home. WOW the GP feels like an absolute Cadillac in comparison to that 02 GA. Maybe I shouldn't compare these two cars but the interior quality and overall build quality is massively different. Edited February 1, 2011 by redmetrix Quote

gpchris Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 They're old, they rust out, they break down, they're all grandma cars.. Is it really only obvious to me? haha Quote Because we own them all already yes. Quote
MemphisMan Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 Mine will never be a grandma's car. A grandpa's car, yes, someday...but my oldest is only 14. As long as he keeps playing WoW, I won't have to worry about being a grandpa anytime soon. Quote
94 olds vert Posted January 28, 2011 Report Posted January 28, 2011 lol sounds like my brother his life is WoW. Quote

Maybe I shouldn't compare these two cars but the interior quality and overall build quality is massively different. My sedan is a claptrap. My old '95 GTP was a wonderful car, but it had the luxury of being completely loaded (every single thing but the HUD). My SE sedan is a complete base model, and it shows in the build quality. That said, my '00 Grand Am SE was a helluva lot better put together than my current car. Now that I think of it... I don't think I've really been in any cars that weren't built like shit! Even my Thunderbird had issues you could chalk up to corner-cutting. I suppose if I had to pick one car as the best, it would be the GTP. Quote
Garrett Powered Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 you got to go back a little further. back when w's were getting Motor Trend car of the year awards. Quote

Yeeeeeeah... but that prestigious list also features the Chevrolet Citation, Renault Alliance, Cadillac Seville, Ford Mustang II, Chrysler K-cars, and Chevrolet Vega. Just sayin'. Quote

Garrett Powered Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 it still gives all w body owners something to be proud of. pontiac is on there like 5 times. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 All the 1st gens I see around here are rusted and beat to shit. Ive only seen a few nice ones in this area. Quote
Addicted2bass Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 jman093 said: 2.8L of carbed or FI fury! DO WANT. A kid came by my work last summer with one just like that. It even had all old school audio equipment in it, it was pretty bad ass. I saw it for sale a few month later on CL but the price was a little high for me. Quote
fastbird232 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Best-kept Ws I see around here are invariably '94-'96 Grand Prix SE coupes. I believe I own the only GP sedan with a fully-lit light bar. Quote
