I found a 98 regal gs, has 200,000 plus miles, they say it may need a computer,they are asking 800, my question is will the computer out of my 00 gtp work in it since they have the same engine?

As far as I know, the computers aka PCM are the same... the software and data they contain is NOT however.
Or I may be wrong, you tell me? Here is the chart of compatible PCMs.

Correct, the piece of hardware itself is compatible, but would need to be reprogrammed to work.
The PCM doesn't often go bad. Do you have any information on the symptoms? Also.. if the body is in good shape and it kinda runs.. we could help you fix nearly anything.
http://chattanooga.craigslist.org/cto/4522337055.html there's a link, I'm waiting on her to respond back to see if it actually runs and the symptoms
It'll be stalling or running horribly. I'd bank toward tune up, crank sensor and or maf.
most women wouldn't push the car and never end up killing pistons. It's the Tim C's that would do that
If it ends up being the computer, there is a 99 regal GS in the junkyard close to me. I could snag the PCM for you. You'd just have to cover part cost / shipping. I'm living in TN, so shipping to Georgia shouldn't be too bad.
