    I'm just saying be prepared that way if it happens your not on the verge of killing yourself (joking) business can go under, change over ship, etc unemployment doesn't last forever you know. Try a cobalt maybe a mustang can't really recommend anything until we know what you like..fwd,awd,rwd etc. do you like foreign cars or strictly American etc.

    No.... I'm sorry but I own one and compared to the grand Prixs they are krap boxes . I mean they made the ball joint that hold the shock to the wheel out of aluminum ... Dumb IMO had it break on me while going down the high way .

    It threw the tire into the fender locked it up and spun me into a ditch . Ever since then I've hated these cars with a passion . But if you want one ill sell you mine

    You can get a pretty decent SS/SC for 12k~.

    Just sayin.

    Also, if you don't have to have all the speed...10k will net you a FULLY decked out and optioned out 2LT like I have...see link in signature.

    You don't have to take their offer. The first offer is usually a lowball. They are trying to save money. Find cars like yours (same model, similar options / condition/ etc). Print out those ads and show them to insurance to prove what your car is worth in your area. You ahve to argue a bit, but it is typically worth it. Most of the time, taking the first offer from insurance is letting them take advantage of you.

    Hondas aren't **** if they have been maintained and are rather easy to work on. Don't get one that's been modded and rices out if anything.
