    Looks like most things are fixable with no parts needed just stuff pushed into place. Spend an hour pushing panels back into place and cleaning stuff up.

    Visors are supposed to be bent.
    Discoloration in ceiling cloth is normal.
    Warped cowl/lower fascia is normal.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    wow. if that's all you've got then I'd say you're in good shape.

    its a used car. you must have known.....but that's all the fun, isn't it? fixing it up here and there--searching for parts, trying and learning new things.

    Looks like they had some audio wires run at some time with those loose panels. As for the drivers seat, probably something on a article of clothing they frequently wore idk just reaching there... Use some automotive goop to hold the panels in.

    Other than the seat, everything else seems tiddly.

    As mrlogic stated, seems like someone had an audio system before.

    You would probably flip **** after you seen the inside of my car.

    Holy crap you are picky, its a used Grand Prix, it was a daily driver for someone, not a garage queen sports car. Everything can be fixed with very little time and effort.

    Lol is this for real? Your other cars must never leave the garage. Seriously like has been said easy fixes and normal. For the loose interior panels... take them all the way off n you probably have clips not seating all the way. N for the leather seat an upholstery shop can easily fix that.

    I'll throw you a bone here... A couple of these are typical, but stuff should fit and be properly attached. I've seen plenty of 04+ gps that have been treated better than that. It looks like it was stripped apart for a drug search or something.
