New Grand Prix GT owner in Arkansas

[Storm Smith]

So I just put a down payment on a 2000 Grand Prix GT. So what are the good things about the GT?

Hauls grocerys like no bodys business.

Well I imagine that 200 bhp is helping.

the 3.8 is a really reliable engine. if you take care of it, itll last you over 200k miles. happy driving!

What part of Arkansas?

I would but I haven't got it yet. The owner of the lot is replacing the freon and the window track before I come and pick it up. And I'm from the central part of Arkansas around Little Rock.

it moves okay, for what it is.

Good cars, normal problems. Decent mpgs for its size. Can haul 4 females at a time if need be.

Do some research and you'll figure out some stuff, like normal maintence and such and what parts are good to use.

I have seen wikiapedia and edmunds facts about it but I want to here some things from actual owners about them.

I have family that lives in the Ward-Beebe area. Thinking about moving down there myself. I can't stand the cold up here in Wisconsin.
I have had my 2008 3.8L for about six months and I love it. Drives and handles nice.

Can't stand the cold? Wait until you say you can't stand the heat. It is hot now. I am excited to pick up the Grand Prix GT and begin modding it. It had a nice kick over my old Hyundai Sonata. Plus 23 more horse power.

So I finally got my 2000 Grand Prix GT. I do have to say the engine is nice but the car its self is janky. Some of the problems I know of. Leaking heater core, stripped windshield wippers, back passenger side window track is broken meaning the window won't stay closed, all 4 speakers are blown, the seats have lost all comfort, the ignition is messed up so it takes 5 minutes to get the key to turn, Hi beams do nothing, fuel gauge and the fuel information the digital guage don't work, bad interior quality, lights don't all work the way they should, no key fob. This list goes on and on. Going to take quite awhile to repair all of this.
