I was thinking of getting this GN just because i love these cars, and it will be worth a lot in the future. Im not to keen on the dealership thats selling it, if anybody is in High Point, NC let me know. Im going to give this guy a call but the mileage on the engine might steer me away since he didnt post it. From the pic it looks fairly decent but im looking for one that i can get for a steal that has low mileage, and a nice straight body, I was also looking into getting a 94-96 chevrolet Impala, i know my dad might hate me for getting a domestic but he likes the GN. Just let me know what you guys think. Any other suggestions will be great im in the range up to around 13k

are the 3.8l engines and transmissions for these GN's easy to find and cheap like GM's other vehicles are.

Yea im thinking a bigger turbo, bigger injectors, bigger intercooler cold air nice exhaust

The parts are harder to find and more money because they are rare

Well as far as body parts i got that covered i know where i can get great body parts and interiors from locally, but im just worried about the parts for the engine and ******

actually the 3.8 went in a bunch of vehicles.

I say buy it that really seems like a decent price.

i jus hope the engine and ****** is straight dogged out. I will eventually take the motor all out and overhaul it. i just want it to run real smooth and faster than stock

Well he did say he was going to overhaul it, not sure if he was going to rebuild the motor or swap it out for a better/newer one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
