Life Car buying advice? - Page 11

Lono · 05-11-2009, 07:55 AM

Ok, my wife might be selling her chevy trailblazer. She is wanting a car. She really likes the pontiac grand prix. I would prefer something else because i have heard they have a lot of trouble around 100k miles. Plus everyone and their brother has one. What are some good cars that are kind of sporty with 4 doors. And do I get a loan from my bank, or do I try and finance through them? What do I want to look for and what do I want to stay away from with car dealers. I normally have the money through my bank and just go in and offer what I want and they take it or dont and I write a check. I have seen all the good offers on t.v. and thought we might be able to get a better deal through the dealership. Advice?

Yeah, I did, much better than the makeshift convertable.

Yeah, that thing was an example of them ruining a car IMO.

There is a company that is making verts out of them now, one of our Challenger members got it done to an 08 SRT8. Over 20k, 6 months and he has had it back to them a few times, and still not happy.
