Pontiac Grand Prix Forums : Grandprix

I'm poor and in college, but I want a cheap, fast, sporty car.

I've looked around and I really like the late 90's Grand Prix GT/GTP....

Where's a good place to find a good deal on the car?! What can I expect to be paying?

Any advice is helpful....thanks....

try craigslist they always have grand prix's in every state, their really goood cars for cheap, im in college too and i got my gtp for 3600 i talked down a pregnent couple from 4k lol I just starting to mod it, the modding is going slow cause i have to pay my college bills and they get expensive.

Holy crap dude, what year and how many miles?

A GTP would be amazingggggggggg

mines a '99 which is a good year just don't get a 97 because they dont have the traction control button and you like to do burnouts right lol. anyways i got mine with 136k which isnt bad. I think you would love a gtp, they are awsome to mod and their are just good all around cars.

saying to not get a 97 because of no TC button is laughable... the GT's had one, the GTP's did not. However, just because one has a TC button doesnt mean that you should stomp on the gas and do burnouts. that's a very good way to grenade a differential. I understand the want to make pretty smoke, but a bad idea if the car isnt set up for that.

OP-- definitely search craigslist and autotrader near you. it's unlikely you'll get what you want in your price range from a dealer, unless it's a car in poor shape.

Yea thats true, i just like to smoke my tires.

don't forget ebay, sometimes you can get a decent deal there, and car shipping can be cheap (cost me I think $400 to ship mine when I bought it)
