    Hey guys i am a newer member here. my wife and i own 2 grand prixs. she has an 06 base gp and i have a 01 gtp. i actually got my gtp a few months back when i traded a 01 honda civic(with salvage title) for it. i wasnt sure at 1st if it was a good trade or not but since i have had the gtp i have loved it. so far i have had the tranny rebuilt, rear brakes down, sway bar replaced,bumper cover replaced/side molding and thermostat replaced. the guy that i traded with to get it spent close to $2500 a few months before i got it. he had the front brakes done, coolant flushes, rack and pinion replaced, ball joints replaced, 2 window motors replaced. its got a 175,000 on it now but im hoping to keep it for a bit after all this work has been done to it.

    thanks i still have to fix a few things on the car. wipers only work on high so im guessing the control module(box on top of wiper motor) is bad. also rear window falls down due to a bad regulator( the person before me actually glued the window up...lol)
