need suggestions for new car

[Chet Mo and the Camaro]

this is what i am looking into:
98-99 gtp 2 door
97+ f body
possibly a eclipse(just b/c of gas)
and they are kinda sporty

my price range is around 6500

i noticed there are some nice 98-99 gtp for fairly cheap and decent miles!!
i really like the 2 doors plus my grandma has one and i know they are quick stock!!

i looking on ebay and 6500 is no sweat for a gtp, but what could i look to pay for one from say a dealer for a 98-99

btw i am close to houston so possibly might find one on ebay drive over test drive if i like then i can bid and buy!!!
for example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...79255264QQrdZ1

i really like that car but dont have my ins. money yet, but when i get it i am sure i can find one in houston area probably!

lmk what you all think

ps. is there a grand pric forum

If it wre my choice, I'd get a GTP [img]smile.gif[/img]

but if you don't mind v6 f-bodies anymore, I'd get one of those.

definitely a no on the eclipse.

just get that GTP on ebay that you found

[3.4 slow to go]

I have a 99 GPGT and I have no probs w/it. In fact, w/gas prices the way they are I'm glad I don't have a GTP, as teh 93oct will really eat your wallet. I've done a best of 15.5 mulitple times in teh 1320, and have gotten (multiple times) 35mpg hiway. IF you still want the bada$$ power of the M90, then go for it. www.clubgp.com is the Grand Prix website. Either one you choose will be a good ride, as I've enjoyed mine for the last 4yrs


edit: I have almost 65k on my GP, but will say that "buy it now" price is a schweet deal

If you want something kind of economical/easy on the wallet do not get the GTP. You forget, it requires premium fuel.


If it were me ---- I'd nix the Prix idea and the Eclipse idea.. I'd go for either a 94/95 Mustang GT 5spd coupe or 98+ V6 F-Body. You'd be surprised, the 'Stang GT would do you well down there :D

you can buy my 99 camaro for that price.. stock ground effects, halo headlights, magnaflow catback, headers.. some stuff installed and not.. 98k miles 6500 sounds great... runs great, all service records... yojck@yahoo.com

It runs on regular 87 Octane, its a 302, has 5 gears, and will get as good fuel as a V6er if you don't put your foot in to it at every stop light. As for the speed, all it needs is 2 mods to drag 90% of the guys on this forum.

I'm getting 17mpg in the city with my 4x4 ZR2 (high-wide stance truck) with 31" bias-ply all-terrain tires V6 truck solely because of the way I drive and it doesn't have a single modification done to it [img]smile.gif[/img]
