Where did you find your Bonneville?
As anti-dealer as I am ... I found & bought mine at a dealer, actually through AutoTrader.com. Heck of a deal, too!

RLD was in my family since its factory option selected inception
EVERY SE option as well as F41 suspension
the Aurora, private deal from a man that ironically works at a dealership :P

My neighbor had it for sale. I didn't know anything about cars back then and didn't even recognize it was a bonneville until i saw the SSE badge, and I knew that was a good thing so i took a closer look.

I bought the 91 from a body shop that just bought the car in that had minor damage which they were going to fix and sell for a whole lot more. I bought it at a great price.
The 94 I bought from a guy across the street who is a car hauler and all he gets all kinds of deals. We got a good deal from him also. When he gets home we look at the cars to see if any bonnies. He recently had a nice SSEi but someone bought it before we could even go look at it.

Dealer for me. I was looking for either a GMC Yukon GT or an SSEi...I found the GMC but they wouldn't deal (until I had already signed on the dotted line for the B-ville). I couldn't find an SSEi, but I did find the SESC (rare). I bought it as a second choice, but I am glad I did. After reading up on what I could have owned, the GMC had major trans problems. No problems with my Bonneville, and the love keeps growing due to my appreciation for its rarity and comfort/performance.
