Got myself a new DD

[spina74]

Some of you saw my posts that I was looking for a truck, which lead to my 99 Durango that I got for 1100 with 106k, lots of rust...then I sold it 3 weeks later for 1700, then I was looking for a gas saver so I didn't spend much in gas as I was trying pay off my credit cards before I went to get a loan to finance a car. Some things went well with work and I paid them off quickly and went and got this!

Their all over the place in price range, the LS1's i've seen for as low as 11-12ish and up, the LS2's I've seen with 60k+ 15 to 18ish, and the lower miles a few I've seen as high as 21. I'm sure you can get a great deal on which ever one you want if you look around, im justing giving the numbers I saw when I was looking. Which was a big detterant to buy one before I found mine.

You know if replacement parts are expensive or not on these cars? Curious how much these cars cost to keep running.

Aside from the suspension being a pile of crap. They are cheap enough if ya do your own work. I've had mine now for over 5 years and still love the car. The only real big things that went were common ****. Throw out bearing, water pump, radiator and the battery. I'm not including brakes, oil changes and normal maintenance tho.

[WayFast84]

I love it. How does the power feel compare to a fbody with the same mods? My cousin got one right as I graduated hs and they were new enough to to finance and I started looking for one but apparently the only color combo I wanted is extremely rare.

[BullittSVT]

^ In the put you seat factor, feels alot more powerful. I love taking rides in my friends goat

Don't forget the ****** support bearing on the driveshaft.

[sweetbmxrider]

You mean carrier bearing?

By "suspension being a pile of crap" you mean in design or it wears poorly?

Before I bought my cruze I looked at some used stuff, including GTOs. OP is right, prices are all over the place. But I did not want a high mileage one or an accident case. I ran into that with G8s too. Plus no more Pontiac means less value to me. BTDT, I passed on dead nameplates. After that I ran out of used cars I liked lol.

[Kat]

Wears poorly. After about 20k most of it is shot. Especially the struts and shocks. After rebuilding mine, it was a totally different car. And yes I drove the car when when it had less than 5k on it when Alex bought the car new.

[townsend]

nice car im jelly...now someone else that laughs at me at red lights with that ls motor

[Fast92RS]

nice car

[T69SS]
