Need cliffs. If it floats your boat, then good.

Serching the optima vids and I found this vid .. This town is a few hrs north of me, and the perfect reason why I dont need a 4x4 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

That is a pretty neat vid. I wish someone would give me a car and let me drive around like that.

Im running out of good used , sporty reliable cars up here.. I can get this for $10,500.. anyone own a G6? I hear the Mileage is ****** on this one ( 3.9 v-6 ) @ 18/24 ... Soooo Not the most economical, but it seems like a descent price..
Fully loaded, Heated leather, moonroof, power seats etc.

Im rockin the 09 G5.... im not sure of the changes they made, but i like what I am crusin in. It gets 28/35mpg for me, drives smooth, and handles well. We paid around 7k for it with 40k miles on it.

I'm guessing your in a 4 cylinder then.

The 3.9 in the gtp gets 18/24

That Kia will have horrible resale value if you get tired of it or want to out right sell it. I almost bought a Kia Optima as a family car and ended up checking used prices for it and they were selling for crap! Paying 20k for it and a year later selling for 10....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif No thanks, IMO.

Honestly unless you go import, you wont get much for resale value, so if you think you wont get tired of it, then have at it.

I like the G6's myself, would be my route...

Honestly, I am confused now....you want a new car or a used one? Linking used cars with 166 on the clock is confusing me, lol!

Im confused myself bro.. But to be honest, Tomorrow your probably going to see a thread titled " Just got a New car!" thread, posted by me .. Im 99% sure Im getting the Bonneville ssei I linked a few posts up..

Honestly the miles dont bother me, I have a friend of mine who knows everything there is to know about that motor, and transmission ( he has a 11 second 2000 GP GTP,) and has about 30K invested and has done all his work on the car.. Gorgeous car, 420 hp at the wheels, complete full interior and a daily driver , that he never drives . The guy took my offer of 3500 and Im gonna be picking it up tomorrow AM, then we are gonna work on it, See what it needs Cosmetically then Its gonna be Good to go til next spring

Interesting choice.....always helps to have someone that knows what they are doing.

I almost got an SSEi years ago, but too many issues with it and I know what I am doing and if I dont, my dad does, but still takes money and or time...and I dont have either, lol!

Got it today and gonna bring it in tomorrow.. The cars been sitting for a bit so it needs a little TLC for the next week or so.. It has an Antifreeze leak somewhere and the exhaust has a crack in the flange .. So tomorrow will be the day I get to clean it inside and out, and get a few minor things done on it, then Ill start up a thread with pics and plans for the car.. Not gonna be great for audio with leather seats that dont come down, So far Im thinking some descent components I can just run off the HU for now since my priority is fixing up the car cosmetically first. But I will say this car runs and drives awesome, and hauls *** for a big car..

I looked at g6's when i was looking for a car. Insurance would have been pretty high. I ended up getting a 04 300m. Gets a little bit less mpgs but i feel like its more solid when driving it. Insurance between the two cars was about 80 higher per month for me and i dont have anything bad on my driving history.
