Buying a second car
It's a 2004 White Grand Prix GTP. 9,000 miles on the odo. I talked the dealer down to 17K. Seems like a fair price to me. It is pretty much loaded.

I think it will make a good commuter car plus there are tons of mods for it so that will give me something to do.

That is a great car. I had an older Grand Prix SE and that car was like a tank when it snowed. Always had total confidence in that car but the tranny leaked at 100K so I got ride of it..

Good choice. I like the new style GTP over the old ones. Looks much more smooth on the outside.

I like the interior much more too.

If you're looking for a commuter car why would you buy one with a thirsty V6 in these current times.

I bought it... I like it a lot. I wanted something cheap, not neccesarily the best on gas mileage, but still a lot of fun to drive.

Sweet. I am really glad Pontiac revamped this baby. I liked the previous body style, but the interior sucked donkey balls. Finally they get a decent interior.

The 3.4 pulley would be a good start and can be run with premium pump gas. This would be the least money you have probably ever spent to get the gains it does.
