i think you should keep looking...

for your info.. my parents picked up their 97 ssei, same purple as that one, for 5k, mint with 130k on it...

They all try to paint a rosy picture like that. There are only so many "executive," "grandma/grandpa," and "little old lady only drove this car to church on sunday" cars.

Be careful.

The other one (the SLE) seems high priced to me too. Consider...I paid $10,900 for my 99 in March, 02 with only 30K miles on it from Jim Martin in Saginaw.

Negotiate hard with those guys. It'* a buyers market. The market is flooded with used cars because of the big leasing boom and sales incentives shortly after 9/11.

haha wanna hear the "supercharger" story......

Someone told my mom (who thinks she knows everything about cars) that the Superchargers on all Grand Prix'* and Bonnevilles go bad at 75K....so now she is all hell bent on not letting me get a supercharged car...I told her how bogus that sounded and she went off on me about how it was $3500 to fix and it was gonna be all my bill and bla bla bla........only reason she is on this kick is becuz some guy my dad works with has a gtp and his supercharger went bad...(only one I've EVER heard of) but yea.....pretty gay......

and the trade in goes....I owe $6800 on my X....I can't really find a car for a lot less than what I'm looking at becuz dealers dont wanna talk to me....I found a 40th SSE downstate they watned $4500 for...called on it...dealer basically told me to go somewhere else and hung up..... :? :(

haggle to at least 5g'*... how many miles on your explorer?

125,6xx

I bought it with 94k...had it almost 2yrs now

superchargers dont go bad, they outlast the rest of the car, and they are the strongest part of the drive train. the Bearings or the coupler goes bad, and that is like a $30 fix

obvisously her mom is basing all her information off that one guys bad supercharger, so in that fact, they CAN go bad...

it would take her a LOT of reading to verify the correct facts, and im sure she doesnt want to do that....

whole lot easier just to get an NA.....but then thats no fun

That price is too high. I only paid $5200 for my fully loaded supercharged LSS with 107K on it. I agree with everyone else, knock down the price.

I had my dad go look at the bonneville and a 01 GP GT...I have a feeling he may try to talk me into the GP GT...silver, leather, moonroof, 2 door...i love it but its 8900... :?


and haro..my moms thnking is...they can and WILL go bad...shes a fruit...i wasnt allowed to get a Blazer/Jimmy becuz 1 Mechanic told her they had a jimmy in the shop for a collant system repair and it was $3000....

Here is one out here by me for reference on your price

2000 SLE, 80k for $6995

1997 SSE 88k $4600

96 SSEi 79k $3995

1997 SSEi 98k $5900/best offer purple

Just to give you some ideas of prices. Plus, I'm only like ~5 hrs from michigan
