Ended up picking out an '02 Grand Prix GT. 83k. Solid car. Old lady owned it . I knew a guy that I grew up with two houses down from my parents at Dave Gill "Chevrolet".
They were asking 8900 for it. Since I knew him he knocked off $500 and ended up giving us $1000 for the 92 Crown Vic. Definatley in the pay range she was looking for.
Now, I have questions.
It has a 30 day warranty. I pointed out a few things I noticed when I drove it. The Lower intake gasket is pooling up with oil. I pointed it out to my friend the sales guy and he said "well, our used car tech looked it over and deemed it ok". Well, I didn't like that. I know I can change it for less than $100, but that's not the point.
The other thing is it pulls to the right. Again, he said the same as above that the service tech looked at it and said it was ok. Then he said something to the fact that since they dropped off $500 off the car that that was about it.
That sounds like bullshit. I mean. the LIM gasket is failing. Should I push harder and actually talk with the service tech that looked at it?
Other than that the car is nice to drive and feels very tight. I know it'll last for a while and that I can service it since I know the car inside and out.
