Another New Florida Member (Port Orange)
Greeting to all, I am finally ( I have admired them for years) purchasing a Silver 2002 Bonnie SLE tomorrow for the wife and selling her 1997 Grand Prix Se. I am leaving the GPClub and joining the Bonneville club. 
I find these forums very helpful when facing auto issues. If there is anything I need to know about the 2002 please fill me in. Thanks

Welcome to the club brumay 
Other than the standard checks when purchasing a used automobile, I would suggest looking at all electronics and controls. See that all windows work, and drive over a few speed bumps while test driving, listen for clunks and groans.

Yea, and put it through hell. Run through all the gears and turn it sharply in a empty lot, etc...

Thanks for the welcome. I am finding out that even though the car is for my wife it is really my favorite not her'* 
. I hope she learns to love it as I know I will 
. Are there any ladies out there who love their Bonneville enough to share some comments for my wife. I know she will listen to the ladies. :P Thanks
