The biggest issues with a Grand Prix si the tranny will go out. If you get one, make sure you get the 3800 engine and NOT the 3100. The 3100 engines go through head gaskets like crap goes through a goose.
I would stick to a Honda Accord and make sure the T belt gets changed. |

The dealership will have better interest rates available if your credit score is above 660.
I just bought a car using dealerships online/e-mail. The negotiating was much, much more enjoyable. |

I heard pontiac and gm cars are going super cheap right now, saw a new grand prix ad in the paper from a dealer selling for $11k.

Bwana I like the honda accord also but the wife is pretty set on buying american. I have already filled out one of those things requesting for the best offers and financing for dealers in my area. I am thinking I can drive to springfield which is like 80 miles from here and get the best deal. How much should I expect to be able to haggle them down? If I can get a great % I can afford to probably buy a little more expensive car but I dont want to end up head over heals on one either. Thats what scares me about buying new, the moment I drive it off the lot its 3grand cheaper.

I'd rather buy an accord than a pontiac, that said they are super cheap, and should last for atleast 7 years id think. |

Your credit union will have the best interest rates available.

I don't know of many credit unions that offer 0% financing.
