Which would you rather own

[97chevycamaro]

Looking around for a cheap car before we move he came across 3 we really like

1-2001 impala, totally base, silver 63k miles-$6500
2-2000 honda accord coupe ex, silver, 78k miles-$7150
3-2000 Grand am gt, black, 78k miles, $7500

I'll go with the Impala. It rides really nice and comfortable. Good take off's too and passing power.

The reliability has been good too from what I hear.

not the accord, trust me - I work for Honda ;)


GAGT = good car, fun
Impala = Same motor setup as the GAGT, not as sporty..

With the 3400 you only have to watchout for intake manifold leaks... Otherwise they're tough SOBs..

Accords have lots of stupid *** little issues and are powered by a timing BELT not a chain.. So be prepared at 90k-100k to have to switch out that belt which, if a dealership does it, is a good 600-900 dollars..


If it were ME.. I'd go for the GAGT, insurance will be more on it probably than the Impala based on the fact it says GT, but I think the GAGT is a much more fun and a much more livable car than the Impala. Plus, my mom drives a new Impala, what else do I need to say? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

7ks not expensive. This has gotta last as a daily driver for my wife, anyhwere from 50-100 miles a day, Im not gonna buy a 2k pos then dump 2-3k into over a 8-10 month period to keep it running. I rather buy something for 7k, have her drive it fine for almost a year, than trade it in and get her something new once we are settled.

If that was the extent of my choices, I'd pick the Impala. My parents have a 2001 Impala LS with the 3.8 in it. It's a nice car, but nothing special (at least in my opinion). Too much luxury and not enough sport for me. For what it's worth, they haven't had any issues with maintenence or anything, but it's always a crapshoot with used cars.

why? I have to have owned at least 50 cars by the time im 30, its a bet i have going. Plus i cant see how you guys drive the same car day in and day out, its so boring. I dont buy expensive ****, just kinda keep passing around the same 5-10K In every car. My wife told me to stop too and jsut buy something for like 50k and put 7k down and just have that for like 5 years and pay it off, i was like nah.
