Well, I was looking for a Grand Prix GT or GTP but the prices on them are just rediculous anymore. There is a white 2001 Bonneville SE with 105k for $6000 at the local dealer. Is there anything I should look out for or check when I go test drive it?

2001 hopefully wont have to many issues, open the trunk, check were the spare tire is for water or a mildew smell, some people have reported water leakage. check all the electronics, make sure they all work, maybe get a second opinion from a mechanic as well.

yes the only problems the 2000+ are the water leaks, rear window regulators, and the hoods are made of alum and the paint seems to bubble

Dont forget the clicking noise in the steering.

ah yes the intermediate shaft too

All of those issues would probably already be dealt with on an 01.

Check 'em out. They're all obvious if they're still issues.

Thanks everybody. How does the ride compare to a 97+ Grand Prix? I've mainly been a W-body fan and am selling my 94 GTP to get something newer, unfortunately the 97+ Grand Prix'* cost a near fortune.

the ride and the seats are WAAAAAY better

Grand Prix feel like a light piece of plastic that feels like if you hit a few bumps the car will fall apart. This is how my aunts car felt and her car was on brand new on the show room floor. (Unless you get a GTP) The bonnevilles feel like a Cadillac with some parts missing on them. Still both cars are nice IMO.

I am a new owner of a 2001 sle bonneville, I have had my eye on this car for some time now. when i bought this car finally 3 weeks ago, i got everything and more with my bonneville. Luxury, power, great sport/aggressive look and a car that can be driven for many years. The only personal mistake, i wish i would have gotten a supercharged bonneville, Im always in need of more power.
