Got a new ride.
For the fiancee at least. I'm ditching the 89 Celica and taking over her 90 Buick Century (until it dies) and she gets the following:
http://community.webshots.com/album/233506628lGyBnX
And here's the kicker. It's got 75,000 miles on it and you could never tell. The pics don't do it justice. Best part, we paid $10,900 for the car, $13,464 out the door with a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty that's almost bumper to bumper coverage.
This thing is freaking NICE!!!! It's got the 3.9L V8, FULLY loaded (priced to about 42-43K new) and is MINT. Rides like a dream, quiet on the inside, good power, and is pimptastic. 
Plans??? CAI, Magnaflow or Borla Exhaust system, Angel Eyes, HID conversion, Mesh grill, and possibly a LSE Body kit. Want to do rims too, but am NOT going with the "dubs" although they do look good. Oh yeah, springs too.
Whatcha think??

It's a huge difference in the car, and she's happy with it. I got really lucky when I found it though. The dealer I bought it off of caught it for a dirt cheap price which translated over to his selling the car. I priced it out, and a dealership would be asking in the area of 16.5K and a private party about 13.5K. We just couldn't pass it up.

I didnt see the pic, so I assume due to the engine that its a Linc LS V8?
Killer car man. I like them. Few Ford products I do like.

Yup. It's a pretty nice motor too. 3.9L, 32V, DOHC, and a nice seamless powerband.
CAI and Cat-Back exhaust to come. They don't make headers, but the computer was just cracked so that opens the world up to blowers for them.

Well, I took a microscopic look at it in the daylight yesterday, and it's got a lot of touch up paint on it at various points, looks to be mainly door dings. It was VERY well done though, which is why I never noticed it before. Still looks damn good though, and just drives like a dream.

D@m, all you guys getting these fancy modern cars! And I'm stuck driving something from the 80's. I guess we all make sacrifices. That car looks pretty sweet.
