DiehardGM Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Hey everyone , just created this account on here and hoping you guys can help me out ! I actually do have two w-body cars 95 and 98 monte Carlos both black and both 3.1, also have two 89 Z24's but anyhow , I have found a 1991 GTP with of course the DOHC 3.4 , the car has 63k one owner miles has never seen snow and has been garage kept and maintained since new , I have read numerous posts of people saying to stay away from that engine because of the timing belt oil leaking etc , just looking for some opinions ! Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!! Quote
Garrett Powered Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 I guess it depends on the price. which interior? Quote
DiehardGM Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Posted July 2, 2013 Gray cloth , sadly no leather and $6000 for the price Quote
Garrett Powered Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 3, 4 tops. cloth is cool. if it was leather, that low a mileage. It would be nice. but cloth will last longer. go one year older and you would be turbocharged in basically the same car. Quote
DiehardGM Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Posted July 2, 2013 Yeah my buddy has a 90 TGP with 62k miles on it , the GTP I'm looking at is also a 5 speed , medium blue , metallic and literally showroom condition Quote
Garrett Powered Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 6k though.. I would offer a bit less. knock off a grand at least and we can talk, but if it's showroom condition then you will probably never regret slightly overpaying. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 $6k seems steep, but realistically how many factory 5 spd bright blue metallic GTP's are there left, let alone ones with 63k on them? Quote
DiehardGM Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Posted July 3, 2013 Alright I think I might get it, it is too nice of a car to let pass me by , but should I be concerned about the LQ1 ? Some say its good some say its a devil motor Quote
GOT2B GM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Keep up on the maintenance (timing belt change intervals, regular oil changes) and its a great engine, I have 4. Quote
DiehardGM Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Posted July 3, 2013 Just a little nervous lol , I have only had 2.8's and 3.1's , but have always wanted an LQ1 , then sound of them is intoxicating ! Quote
Disbass69 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Ohh it's that one! Been posted on here numerous times, about time someone picks it up Quote
DiehardGM Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah I literally have been dreaming about this car since last Saturday when I found it on auto trader , I'm just hoping I can swallow my nerves and buy it , only down fall its 4 hours from my house Quote
Galaxie500XL Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Devil motor? No...challenging in some areas to work on? Definitely yes...but I've been daily driving mine for nearly 4 years now...wouldn't trade it for anything. Alright I think I might get it, it is too nice of a car to let pass me by , but should I be concerned about the LQ1 ? Some say its good some say its a devil motor Quote
GOT2B GM Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 pfft 4 hrs is nothing, I've brought cars home from California (2), Washington state, Texas, Florida, and live in Ontario Quote
