Abzzz Feb 8, 2005 09:36 PM

haha other than the fact tht its domestic?

import_tuner19 Feb 8, 2005 09:40 PM

its a pontiac and not a good one either even if its an sse. my opinion though.

Phantom Cruiser Feb 8, 2005 10:27 PM

Here's my opinion: if it was well maintained, you are in need of a daily driver-beater, and it is ~$1k then I say go for it.

dudeondacouch Feb 8, 2005 10:30 PM

ride quality=lackluster
feel=boatlike
0-60=slow
fit & finish=does not exist
value=a good deal if you can get it for $8.99

Bartizek Feb 8, 2005 10:31 PM

i'd take taht car for 8.99

i'd use it for beefing up my mechanic skills, cuz i wouldnt care if it broke.
If thats the case your in go for it!

why are you looking for one? Most 80s cars, esp domestic ones (save for the Grand Nationals) are ones to forget about. I'll echo Phantom on this otherwise. Get it for cheap though; it looks like they go for anything around 1500 give or take a few hundred. Again, why? Just to wrench around on?

i actually need a daily driver....

If its been taken care of and you dont abuse it they can go well into the 150k mile range. I used to run auto shops and the old people drove them for a long time.

Bartizek Feb 9, 2005 03:29 PM

really any car can run for 150K if you take care of it and don't beat on it with a few exceptions (kia, daewoo)

cornercarve98 Feb 9, 2005 11:10 PM

very true, even old chevy vegas can go 240k (but maintenance must be religious or else).

Oh, man, someone sell me a Cosworth Vega...they are just cool little cars.

kmaalfiisa Feb 11, 2005 11:54 AM

a bnvll? try looking for an old crx.. it will defntly be lighter and easy on gas (wont eat up as much as pontiac) if your lucky in finding one at a grand or under look into it. little project cars to.....

or a/an (i think) mx-5 or its a mx-6... they are all over the place in illinois
