[QUOTE="DupeZ, post: 4443810, member: 569624"] Ok guys, heres whats going on: I'm looking for a new car after totalling my old one. Heres what i've found so far. (lets say that i'm going to choose one of these two) Whats the better choice? I'm looking for something reliable. From a large dealership: 03' Chevy Malibu - 120k Miles. Close to mint condition. Clean Carfax. All highway miles (previous owner drove from MA to TX for the army). Salesman claims the owner was a mechanic in the army and took good care of the car (did his own tune up before trading in for a truck). comes with 30 day warranty. flawless ride, except the brakes felt a little mushy. Price: 5,000 From a very small salesman/mechanic: 97' Pontiac Bonneville. This one has an interesting story; apparently it encountered a known problem with the bonnevilles, coolant leaked into the manifold so the engine was replaced. so this car has 97k miles on the body, which is in great condition, and it has a 98' LeSabre engine in it with 41k miles on it. comes with 30 day warranty. when i drove it, i noticed a faint "whining" sound, almost like a faint RC car type of noise, i didnt know if it was doing this because it doesnt run often or if its a problem. also, the gas gauge isnt working, and the time/radio station doesnt appear on the stock radio. i was hoping this wasnt an electrical issue, since i was planning on putting my sound system in whatever i get. Price: 4,000 What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
