Im concerned
ok the new car for the wifey has been a long and hard road....I want her to get a Bonneville....(i even told her that i was going to break up with her if she didnt get a Bonneville :P )....N E way she is looking at a 02 GT with 40ish on the clock....ya its a based out model....no leather, no roof, no dual CC, NOTHING.....the car has had the front bumper repainted (its painted like the SE now) and it needs a new bumper cover in the rear (dealer taking care of that)
Here are the options....
fix here 97 Cavlier Z24 that only has 68K on it, needs New FPR, Strut mounts, new exhaust, and the TC wont lock untill its warmed up
Buy the 02 GT with 40K miles for $8,500, and she gets $3500 for her Z24, so she ends up paying around $6,000 for the GT out the door and then buy a new car (Bonneville) in a few years
opinions?

you'll dump alot less than $6K into the Z24 and have a nicer car until it'* Bonny time.
edit: I didn't mean nicer in a defaming way.

I like my gp but mines a 97 and Jeff really likes his 04 gp. I think Jeff like my gp more than his own because of the body style. It also looks a lot like his 99 gp gtp that he wrecked.
