06busa Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 That was a good deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest silverbullet Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 it was actually at the volunteers of america car auctions, thanks for the recall info, but im not sure if im gonna sell it or not b/c apparently they get really good gas mileage and its kinda sporty..making it a bit of an uprgrade from the grand prix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomark Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Its the same thing as a grand am, any upgrade that will fit a 2000 grand am will fit this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balian Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Good deal. And yea, an Alero is basically the same as an GAGT. If you need help working on it, let me know. I used to work on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIEF Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Keep an eye on your coolant in the overflow bottle. Alot of GM V6's have intake gasket problems. 3.1, 3.4, 3.8 It should be a factory recall but GM would go almost bankrupt if they did. We do about 2-3 every week. Something to think about if you keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 2.2? I think is should have the 2.4. Good, torquey engine. Great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevil Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Wow, nice job snagging that one, good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridenred27 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 2-3 a week when we had jd byrider account we did 2-3 a day i got real good at those intake gaskets. you are very right about gm going belly up if they did a recall. they have updated those gaskets 3or4 times and its still not right.i like our 2.4 though moves that car around very well for a 4. i seen one last sun at the track running 15 something. but all and all not a bad car and you did real well on your purchase graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
