nice to actually kids in here, im 17
but save your money, unless u wanna get rims or somethin

I'm 18

And hell, I love the stock rims on mine... and once I get the ebay oen I'm bidding on, I'll be making them a tad bit cooler one at a time (giving them time to dry while I have my old rim/tire on, I can cycle through them haha) and then I'll have a full size spare

And to the OP... get a full-on tuneup and fluid change... the whole nine yards. By a pro if you can't do it yourself. If you CAN do it yourself, go to ebay motors and order the GM mechanic manual for your car and have at it!

take that 1000 bucks and put a down payment on a lower mileage GP

it has 250,XXX miles on it.

you want it to stand out? set it on fire and collect money from the insurance or try to part it out and buy something else.



that thing is a bad day waiting to happen.

don't shell cash into any car with more then 130,XXX miles

haha true but i will make it that far i wont let my car die

 

[matt5112]

I'll be shocked if mine doesnt rust to pieces before I hit 300 000 KM and if not, the tranny will need replacing as well as every suspension component.

ya i have had to do some suspension work and still have some more to do. and rust i am alway fighting against i might just get the car re-painted any idea how much that might cost

 

[matt5112]

Uh like 4 grand unless you know someone.

Just get it undercoated by Krown Rust Control.

$130 gets it done and it should be good for two years (though they say one).
